Summary
Delta One business class award seats to Europe are wide open this summer at 115,000 SkyMiles and just $5.60 in taxes — with thousands of itineraries still available through late August 2026. The IHG One Rewards Premier Credit Card is offering its highest-ever welcome bonus of up to 185,000 points, but the offer expires at 9 AM Eastern on Wednesday, June 24th, so time is running out to apply. A beloved Star Wars actor was downgraded from first class to economy on American Airlines, and his response has gone unexpectedly viral. United's brand-new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner featuring the stunning new Polaris business class suites has been grounded with mechanical issues, and if you've booked expecting that product, you'll want to check your aircraft assignment. We also cover a Delta MQD-earning hotel promotion, Air France's La Premiere first class expansion including a new Houston route, and a quiet but important change to Qantas Project Sunrise economy seating promises.
