🌍 Travel TLDR - February 28, 2021 Travel News And Updates🌏

✈️United Flight 328's safe landing in Denver International Airport✈️
Last week, a United flight from Denver to Honolulu suffered engine failure and had to make an emergency landing back at DEN. Luckily no one was injured during the incident.
The root cause of the failure appears to be metal fatigue on the engine fan blades.
The Boeing 777-200s have been grounded and will be undergoing further inspection.

🚨Marriott's new "Bleisure" strategy blending WFH and Leisure Travel Together🚨
Marriott has begun offering “Bliesure” or Business Leisure, packages, which is where guests can stay for a night and then have the hotel room for the full day, allowing people to remotely “work from home” or “hotel” in this case. This is a great way for Marriott Bonvoy to take advantage of remote work which may has become the new norm from some industries.
This “Bleisure” program allow for people who have been stuck at home to have a change of scenery while working from home as well as earning Elite Night Credits toward status!
