Alaska Airlines is making big changes to its Mileage Plan loyalty program. As announced earlier in October, the airline is rolling out personalized rewards and milestone perks for members who fly at least 10,000 elite-qualifying miles.

Lufthansa’s new Allegris Business Class is the carrier’s latest premium cabin, featuring upgraded seats and enhanced privacy that finally bring Lufthansa’s business class into the modern era. Debuting on Munich-based Airbus A350-900s, Allegris offers direct aisle access for all passengers and even select “Business Suites” with extra space and privacy. Cash fares for this product are steep (often $5,000–$7,000+ round-trip in business), but you can book it with frequent flyer miles or points at a fraction of the cost.

United Airlines has launched an exciting limited-time offer for MileagePlus cardholders: discounted award travel to 20 destinations across Latin America, including Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Panama, Ecuador, and more — with award tickets starting at just 9,000 miles one-way.

JetBlue just expanded its partnership with Icelandair, and this time, it’s big. For the first time ever, you can redeem JetBlue TrueBlue points for Icelandair flights, unlocking new award routes to Iceland, Europe, and even remote parts of Greenland. If you’re sitting on a stash of JetBlue points and dreaming of Reykjavik, Paris, Dublin, or even Nuuk, this is a huge win.

Delta Air Lines has announced its largest-ever winter schedule to the Caribbean and Latin America, adding two new destinations from Atlanta: St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVD) and Grenada (GND).

Copa Airlines is expanding its network in Argentina by launching flights to Tucumán and resuming service to Salta. Both routes will operate three times weekly starting in September 2025, improving travel connections between Panama and Argentina’s northwest region.

Air Europa is one of the few carriers that operate the 787 on short-haul flights within Europe, from Madrid to Amsterdam, Barcelona, and a few other destinations. As part of my EuroBonus Millionaire challenge, I could do a quick back-and-forth to Madrid and test out their Economy Class cabin on their 787-9 and their 737-800. Here’s a quick roundup of my experience, comparing the service and comfort.

United Airlines is once again strengthening its position as the leading U.S. carrier across the Pacific with a major route expansion, adding four new routes to Asia and Australia. Beginning this fall, travelers will gain access to Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Adelaide, and a second daily flight to Manila, all part of United’s ongoing strategy to offer the most extensive international network of any U.S. airline.
