## Resource

American Airlines is rolling out a game-changing seat-watch tool in its app that automatically moves you to a better seat when one opens up, plus a new perk for top-tier elite members. The Chase Sapphire Lounge planned for Seattle has hit a major snag involving public controversy, while the Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business is offering one of the largest welcome bonuses we've seen in a while. SAS has unveiled plans for a stunning new flagship lounge at Copenhagen Airport, packed with features that will rival some of the world's best. We also break down a simple two-card strategy that could be leaving serious rewards on the table, plus the latest on Spirit Airlines' liquidation and a wild Frontier Airlines carry-on incident that ended in handcuffs.
