News notes from around the interweb:
- British Airways sold Avios at a discount for $955 million to American Express extending their credit card partnership.
- The most Incredible Hyatt suites bookable with points worldwide
- Without business travel demand, those buying tickets on American Airlines appear to be doing so based on schedule/price. American’s Chief Customer Officer Alison Taylor, at a town hall session with employees after Thursday’s earnings call, called “Expedia our #1 customer at the moment.”

- House bill that removes the authority of the President to enact travel bans
- Tourist arrested in Hawaii after video of her dancing shows she was breaking quarantine
- The number of arriving international passengers at Australian airports will continued to be capped through at least August 8. (It’s why a United widebody can only bring 50 passengers into Sydney, HT: @jayhawkj)
So a social media influencer broke quarantine because they felt like it then lied to try to escape the repercussions? Go figure.
SO Gary there is most certainly an effect and a price to pay for most of the major airlines leveraging their FF programs ? The pricing is based on normal or near normal travel/usage which I understand however it appears that travel more in particular international will be slow to return and even then to what previous levels? So if people are slow to use those points, I am one of them the points sit there accumulating in their accounts and on the airline balance sheets.
Thoughts ?
