On the flip side, the Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business is back with its best-ever welcome offer of 200,000 Ultimate Rewards points, and a major Miami icon is leaving Marriott's portfolio entirely for a stunning rebrand. Air France is making serious moves on the lounge front with a brand-new Heathrow Terminal 4 space and a freshly renovated La Premiere Lounge in Paris. We've also got details on a Flying Blue miles sale, Copa Airlines' surprising Starlink Wi-Fi rollout, and two airline lawsuits that every award traveler should know about.
