KIMPTON OFFERS CASH BACK Kimpton is picking up the tab for airline charges that may apply when you check a second bag.

"At Kimpton, we believe that small gestures go a long way toward making us the best loved hotel company in the country," said Mike Depatie, president and CEO of Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants. "With the We've Got Your Bag program we aim to extend care for people who stay with us beyond our hotels to other aspects of the travel experience." Clients of The Lawyers' Travel Service receive 25% off the Best Available Rates at all Kimpton properties nationwide.* HOTELS, AIRLINES OFFER TREATS The travel industry is going to great lengths to woo people with promotions that range from the creative to borderline kooky. British Airways, for instance, is holding an essay contest for grown-ups. It's offering free round trips to those who make the most compelling argument for why they need to travel overseas for business. Book a business meeting at a Starwood hotel, and your company or organization can qualify for a free concert with British singer Natasha Bedingfield in honor of your favorite charity. Kimpton Hotels will have you jumping through hoops, literally. Guests who can hula hoop for 20 seconds can win a free room upgrade. As part of the Kimpton hotel chain's summer "playground" campaign that runs until Labor Day, guests who hula hoop for 20 seconds or emerge victorious from a game of rock, paper, scissors can win a free room upgrade. Being quirky is not a new concept for Kimpton, which has featured tarot card readers during evening receptions at some of its properties. FRIENDLY SKIES? NOT FOR PET OWNERS Airlines may be raising the price of in-flight food and checked luggage, but pet owners say the fees for flying with their furry friends are getting out of control.
AIRLINES STOP SWINE FLU VICTIMS British Airways has put into effect measures to stop people with swine flu boarding flights in a bid to prevent the virus from spreading further. BA said there had been a "very small number of cases" where people who had checked in with symptoms of H1N1 had been advised not to travel after having medical checks.
