Summary
American Airlines has debuted a brand-new grab-and-go lounge concept at JFK with a first-of-its-kind feature you won't want to miss. A shocking Hyatt award cancellation story reveals a hidden cash penalty that could hit you even after your points are refunded — and it's not clearly disclosed at booking. The Southwest Rapid Rewards Priority Card's 90,000-point sign-up bonus is running out of time, and when paired with the right strategy, it could unlock one of the best deals in domestic travel. Capital One miles holders have a limited window to take advantage of a 30% transfer bonus to EVA Air, making U.S.-to-Asia business class redemptions suddenly very compelling. Plus, Lufthansa First Class has quietly vanished from major partner programs, Emirates is overhauling its outstation lounges worldwide, and Delta has opened a second premium lounge at LAX.
