## Resource

United Airlines has unveiled its largest international expansion in history, adding ten new destinations in 2027 including several European cities never before served nonstop by a US carrier. American Airlines is quietly phasing out its true first class cabin, and the window to redeem those premium awards is closing fast. JetBlue's new Boston lounge has a surprising restriction that could catch cardholders off guard, and a Southwest passenger learned a costly lesson after sharing a $1,000+ voucher online. Plus, the Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business is offering its highest-ever welcome bonus, and a new Park Hyatt destination is coming to Portugal.
