Delta Just Imposed Secret 3-Week Advance Purchase Requirement on Domestic Saver Awards

On Friday (you always dump bad news on Fridays), Delta eliminated their award charts — just pulled them off the website — without telling anyone.

Malaysia Airlines Enrich Award Chart Devaluation

There's no arguing that Malaysia Airlines has 99 problems, and too many passengers on their planes ain't one of them. ;)

Malaysia Airlines has announced changes to their Enrich frequent flyer program, which kick in as of February 16, 2015. They're changing both their earnings rates as well as changing their redemption rates, but ironically only for travel on their own flights, and not for travel on oneworld partners -- that's the opposite of what most airlines seem to do nowadays!

Malaysia's Enrich program will be following the industry trend whereby they'll be offering more miles on higher fare classes, while they'll be offering fewer miles on lower fare classes.

But when a hotel is consistently ranked among their Top 10 lists year after year, it’s hard not to notice. Such is the case with Hacienda Encantada Resort & Spa — a lovely, all-inclusive […]

Use American Miles for the Whole Family: Business Class to Europe Without Fuel Surcharges

American AAdvantage is renowned for being tight-fisted with premium cabin availability to Europe on its own flights, something that really exacerbated with the introduction of their new lie flat business class. And since their primary transatlantic partner is British Airways, that’s where most of the availability is, but that comes with hefty fuel surcharges. (Iberia […]
