After the year that Hilton Hotels had with the whole Denizen Debacle, they were given some sweet relief this month with their featured role in the George Clooney movie "Up in the Air" about a frequent traveler trying to chase down the prize of 10 million miles.

The NY Times report that neither Hilton or American Airlines paid for any positioning. However, they did let the crews film in their hotels free of charge and they cleared blocks of rooms: ]]>
