Welcome to MileMarker, our online distance utility. We've compiled airline and geographical data into an easy-to-use tool that allows you to find the air mile distance between two locations. Want to know the air miles between Denver International Airport (DEN) and Paris (CDG)? Just enter the two cities (or airport codes in all capital letters) in the appropriate spaces below (or, if you are connecting through Chicago on the trip, enter all three airports) and click How Far?.

BONUS MILE OFFERS OF THE MONTH

• ALL MAJOR AIRLINES from American Express Sky Guide
• (from Webflyer.com) If you're thinking of transferring Diners Club Club Rewards points to Hilton HHonors, you may want to wait until April 3 before doing so. Diners Club is offering another one of its lucrative bonus-point exchanges, and this time, it's with Hilton HHonors. Between April 3 and June 30, exchange Club Rewards points in 2,500-point increments for 3,000 HHonors points. This is not as lucrative an offer as it was last year, when 2,000 Club Rewards points could be exchanged for 3,000 HHonors points, but Diners is prepared for an onslaught of takers anyway. To redeem your points, call the Diners Club service center at 800/234-4034.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>LETTER FROM THE EDITOR<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Hello from New York City! This has been a busy week for Johnny Jet.  I have been going non stop to parties and meetings.  First of all, I would like to thank Conde Nast Traveler Magazine for taking good care of us at their party Thursday night at the Sky Bar.  Everybody was so cool!  The next night we took a quick flight to Vega$ for a bachelor party. The Bellagio Hotel hooked us up with the sweetest suite, to give you an idea it had 2 hot tubs, 5 bathrooms and 7 telephones. If you are going to Vega$ with a bunch of people and the taxi line is real long, walk across the street and ask one of the stretch limo drivers to take you to your hotel(s) (It's a great deal $35 and no wait).  Sunday,  I learned that the Cincinnati Enquirer featured us as their Website of The Week!  Check it out: http://cincinnati.com/travel/sites/siteofweek.html.

GOOD TO KNOW!
Here is a random parking tip that you may or may not already know about: If you are United Premier member or higher Park One (where I always park @ LAX) will give you a discount off their published fees. Just show them your ticket stub when you leave the lot. -Marc  CALIFORNIA
Marc that is good to know, I also park there occasionally, but,  it's even cheaper ($7.70 a day) if you show your Southwest Rapid Rewards Mileage card (all you need is one flight with them, instead of 25,000 miles or more for UA)   Happy Travels- JJ
