Qantas Frequent Flyer is overhauling its status program, eliminating a popular loyalty bonus and raising requalification thresholds — here's what it means for borderline members. Park Hyatt Sydney attempted a quiet policy change that would have stripped elite members of a key benefit, but member pushback forced a reversal. Google's AI Mode has entered the award search space, bringing flight and hotel points pricing to mainstream travelers for the first time. We also cover American Airlines' international expansion for summer 2027, a Flying Blue miles promotion with an 80% bonus, and an exciting new lounge development at Zurich Airport.
