Fare Alert: Business Class Roundtrip to Singapore Less Than $2000

Star Alliance airlines ANA and United -- with flights within North America sometimes on Air Canada -- are offering business class roundtrips between Toronto or Vancouver and Singapore for less than $2000.

The First Hyatt Bonus for Spa and Fitness Signals New Direction for the Chain

Hyatt's six week promotion at the end of 2017 also brought with it two promotions for Exhale spas both still valid through February 28.
