News and notes from around the interweb:
- Priority Pass testing premium passport and security lanes in the UK
- Rewards cost as a percentage of purchase volume
- Lufthansa orders 20 Boeing 787s and 20 Airbus A350s. It plans to sell 6 of its Airbus A380s back to Airbus within the next 4 years.
- Senators ask the Department of Homeland Security to suspend facial recognition at airports
- KLM starts putting internet into their Airbus A330s and Boeing 777s and starts charging based on time rather than data usage.
- The very first American Airlines Airbus A321 (legacy US Airways) is in for densification.
Indeed, N161UW going in for Oasisization as best as one can determine. https://t.co/AcVOAdSv9b

I was surprised to see Citi at the top. I wonder what share of Citi’s reward cost is due to the “fourth night free benefit” they recently limited.
My disappointment is that the trial is only available to UK Priority Pass members. Why is it not available to members from other countries or continents?
@jeff they are heavily weighted towards 2% cash rebates
That St Maarten landing is nuts! Looks like the gear is going to hit someone in the head!
