It’s not that difficult. I have a primary and secondary airline (Delta and American) and a primary and secondary hotel brand (Hilton and Hyatt). I know the corresponding apps and loyalty programs inside and out.
I know what to expect when I travel. When we get to a city or before we go, we search for “top things to do in $City”.
Admittedly, this would be a bit harder once we start flying overseas and we will have to do more research. We are starting our second year and the only international travel we have planned right now are mostly within US time zones.
Hilton sub brands like Homewood Suites and Home2Suites not the main Hilton brand.
In the case of Hyatt - Hyatt Place and Hyatt House.
Because I need a comfortable working space and for my wife and I not to be on top of each other, we do hotels that are targeted for extended stays. I’ve used the IHG site (Holiday Inn) once or twice. It’s not any worse than the other two.
The “cheap” airlines aren’t cheap once you add on fees. Our third choice for flights is JetBlue.
We just go to Google Flights to compare prices and then book directly
