United Flight Map ‘Glitch’ Replaces The Plane With A Devil Wears Prada Stiletto [Roundup]

News and notes from around the interweb:

  • Many are reporting this. United has a partnership with Devil Wears Prada 2, which is to say they’re getting paid to market to passengers.

  • oneworld Ruby members (like AAdvantage Gold, Alaska MVP) now get seat selection benefits on Iberia.

  • A reminder that when your tickets cost less, your bags now cost more on American Airlines.

  • The Chase Sapphire Lounge DFW opening must finally be coming because they are hiring a cook.

  • This is true. Also if you look like you belong you can just eat free breakfast in the lobby.

  • A bunch of folks are reporting that their credit limits on Bilt cards went up to $50,000 and they weren’t (initially) notified of it. I saw my own higher limit Saturday morning, and got an email Sunday morning.

  1. Pretty sure it’s not a glitch, UA had a branded part of the movie, it’s intentional

  2. Yeah, what’s the surprise downside of this $50,000 credit line bump? Does this count as a new card for Chase 5/24 or something? Or maybe people are so excited to spend even more on Bilt so they can earn more Hyatt points and pay 67% more for rewards?

  3. @Gene – credit line increases are not new credit lines. But if you’re putting regular spend on a card, it is very hard to do better than Palladium.
