Air Canada Aeroplan is updating its award chart effective March 25th, so there’s almost two months’ notice. And nothing is changing with their partner redemption chart prices. There’s good and bad here in my view for what they’re now calling the ‘Air Canada and Select Partners’ award table.
A roundup of the most important stories of the day. I keep you up to date on the most interesting writings I find on other sites – the latest news and tips.
Elliott said from the beginning that they were interested in Southwest’s “Unlevered Balance Sheet.” They saw a company that could load up on debt. That can fund share buy backs.
Now here’s Southwest Airlines CEO Bob Jordan during the airline’s earnings call last week.
A Jewish Rabbi was denied boarding for a Kenya Airways flight from Johannesburg to Nairobi. He’s told it’s because he appeared visibly Jewish. The rest of his travel party is permitted to travel: “You can travel, he can travel, he can travel.”
When asked if it’s because of how the rabbi looks? “That’s it, it’s not good.”
At lower doses, some studies suggest medical benefits – for treating neurodegenerative disorders, psychiatric conditions, and as an “anti-aging” protocol – but those are largely ‘pre-clinical’ to put it generously. In higher doses, methylene blue can be neurotoxic and may interfere with mitochondrial function.
The incident began about 20 minutes into Flight 4856, as he tried to engage the woman seated in the row in front of him. She wasn’t interested, and punched the seat and the plane’s window beside him. As he banged on the window he yelled in several language.
Cracks could be seen – along with his blood – on the window. Several men onboard subdued him using makeshift restraints fashioned from shoestrings, belts, and headphones.
Bilt Rewards shared that they would introduce points-earning on mortgages, that there would be a new credit card value proposition, and new benefits coming.
Now they’re out to members with a note describing an upcoming survey about changes they’re considering to the Bilt credit card – that will be going out in the next 48 hours.
On Wednesday, February 5 a taxiing Japan Airlines aircraft collided with a stationary Delta Air Lines plane in Seattle.
At approximately 10:17 a.m. Pacific time, multiple departments responded to an incident on a taxi lane between the S Concourse and the south airport maintenance hangars. The Japan Airlines Boeing 787 struck the tail section of a parked Delta Boeing 737 operating as flight 1921 to Puerto Vallarta.
Trips between New York and Boston aren’t what they used to be, and JetBlue isn’t as strong in the corporate market in New York or as strong in D.C. as Delta. It doesn’t surprise me that this is outside of their current strategy, but it’s still a shocking route to lose, though one they probably wouldn’t want to operate with an aircraft larger their Embraer E190s.
New Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy reports that he’s spoken to Elon Musk’s DOGE team, and invited them to help fix U.S. aviation systems.
