Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! I hope you all had a great holiday with family and friends. This week I was in NYC and New Jersey to visit family. I’m happily back in Tampa and enjoying the warm weather down here. With the holidays there was not a ton of travel news this week, but Avianca is launching some new routes, Condor cut others, and Hyatt entered a deal for another all-inclusive portfolio.
