Summary
Delta's CEO just revealed plans to use AI to set individualized ticket prices for every passenger — and the implications for award redemptions could be massive. Qatar Airways has rolled out free Starlink Wi-Fi across 150+ wide-body jets with speeds up to 500 Mbps, making already-coveted award seats even more attractive. JetBlue TrueBlue is running a limited-time points sale with up to a 120% bonus, opening up some surprisingly valuable partner redemptions on Qatar Airways business class. Alaska Airlines is making a historic push into Europe with two brand-new Seattle routes, including what will become the airline's longest-ever flight — and award space is already appearing. Plus, Chase Ink Business cards are sitting at their highest-ever welcome bonuses, and we break down exactly how to stack them for maximum points value.
