The scene is set for a big night here at InsideFlyer Towers to mark the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018: Cocktail ingredients bought, snacks prepared, champagne (sadly not LPGS!) on ice… but what about the music??? Getting the tunes right is a vital aspect of any party and so we set our minds to creating the ultimate Points & Miles New Year’s Eve Playlist for your delectation. Unfortunately, our minds are still mostly in a post-Christmas puddle of sugar and alcohol, so we didn’t get very far and would love some more suggestions!
In fact, as it’s a party, we’ll send some exclusive InsideFlyer bagtags out to whoever makes the best suggestion/s!
‘Best’ in this context is entirely subjective and as you’ll see from some of our own proposals, ‘worst’ may be a more musically accurate description. The only limitation is that suggestions must have at least something to do with travel, points & miles, flying, elite status, hotels, etc.
Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you the ultimate Points & Miles New Year’s Eve Playlist:
We wish you all a very happy 2018 – Don’t forget to add your suggestions in the comments!!!
InsideFlyer UK
How about Pink Floyd – Learning to Fly!
Nice!
Leaving on a jet plane – Peter, Paul and Mary
Great choice! – Can’t believe we missed it.
Fergie (off of the Blackeyed Peas) Glamorous for the chorus:
We flying first class, up in the sky
Popping champagne
Listened to that on our first F to Vegas! Essentially I think of it as my Travel Hacking theme tune…
Haha, very good 🙂 I might decide on an IF anthem next year.
Leaving on a Jet plane. John Denver
Lovely stuff!
Steve Miller Band has much to offer…
Jet Airliner
Fly Like an Eagle
And my favorite lyric from “Rock n Me” – I went from Phoenix, Arizona all the way to Tacoma
Philadelphia, Atlanta, L.A…. – a Tier Point runner well before his time!
Clearly a TP runner!
Randy Crawford: One Day I Fly Away (performed by Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge 😉 )
Not one I knew at all I don’t think -excellent!
The City of London 2017 put together a playlist for NYE on Spotify…

Hats off to the Mayor – though having had a quick look I prefer the suggestions on here so far I think! Happy New Year!
“Lifted” by Lighthouse family
“It’s undisturbable the peace we found
In a bright new space up above the clouds
Everything is understandable
You don’t have to say anything too loud
When all our luck runs out again
We’re brought back down to solid ground”
Very nice, not one Id’v’e remembered either!
Dear all, I have a few :
-another Spandau Ballet number ‘I’ll Fly For You’
-how about some cheesy R Kelly ‘I Believe I Can Fly’
-then a real classic for when you arrive at your destination – The Eagles with ‘Hotel California’, you can check out but you can never leave…..
I must just say winning an Inside Flyer bag tag would be the absolute perfect start to the New Year!!
You all have a great one guys, Joe Craig Miles et al……..Naomi C xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Haha, very good effort! On account of Marriott’s attempt at turning Elvis into reality, consider some tags in the post – Happy New Year!
Ah thx SO much Joe, this totally made my New Year’s Eve!! Hope you all had a fab night…..
Marriott will mess with me no more once they see the Inside Flyer tags on my bags!! Well here’s hoping anyway :))
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Thought of another – ‘Heartbreak Hotel’!! Which I could apply today to the Marriott property myself & family have just stayed in but in the spirit of NYE kindness, I will not name it :)) xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Leaving on a Jet Plane
10cc – ‘I’m Mandy, Fly Me’. Or then again, seeing what happens to our passenger, perhaps not….
‘Back in the USSR’ from the Beatles…
“Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC.
Didn’t get to bed last night
On the way the paper bag was on my knee
Man I had a dreadful flight”
