Many regulars may be rather lurkers now, perhaps FT is too much politically correct.
Travel patterns change and luxury comes in many colors and shades. Money has been too easy (especially in the US) these last years, but this is now definitely over and yes, value will be important again. One pays for an experience, not just a room at a hotel. This said it is a good thing that the forum has been renamed "luxury hotels
and travel"
Important for my travels:
- time, no tight connections, no running around
- never fly economy class
- high quality food and beverage (on this I overspend)
- no overcrowding
Just gave up my LHW Leaders Club membership. Pointless while staying at a real luxury bed and breakfast or family run restaurant with rooms with no children running around and events going on. My last experience at a LHW was the middle eastern clientele at a 5 star hotel in Switzerland leaving their room doors open all the time with guards standing in front of the woman's rooms and then that smell.......
