## Resource

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby has a surprising habit that's raising eyebrows across the industry, and Priority Pass just made a controversial move that has cardholders questioning their benefits. Asiana Airlines is making an unprecedented decision that could leave Star Alliance award travelers scrambling, with zero obligation to honor already-ticketed redemptions after a key date in 2026. Southwest is rolling out game-changing free Starlink Wi-Fi fleetwide, and a massive credit card welcome offer worth nearly $1,900 is expiring June 30th — so time is running out. We also cover American Airlines cabin retrofits, a hotel security nightmare with an insulting response, and a must-know United MileagePlus family benefit that most members are missing.
