News and notes from around the interweb:
- Richard Branson’s Necker Island is no longer bookable with miles it was a crazy splurge at over a million Virgin Atlantic miles, but cool for those that did it.
- The credit card that costs $15,000 – $50,000
- United Airlines to re-introduce domestic first class meal pre-orders
- Philippine Airlines is considering bankruptcy, wants to return Boeing 777s and Airbus A350s
- Lufthansa has filed to fly Newark – Malta this summer which is a surprising route, but one I’d love to see. Malta was the first European trip I cancelled at the start of the pandemic last year.
- The rebirth of Wow Air as ‘PLAY’ has an aircraft and certification.. Here’s why Wow Air failed and cost its CEO his home.
Why would anyone want to pay $50k for a credit card?
@ DNN — The world is filled with idiots, so I would guess “Yes”.
@DNN and @Gene – the answer is simple; so they can say “look at my $50k credit card.”
why would anyone buy a $50k handbag? so when they go to parties, the other guests say “oh look, so-and-so has a chanel/gucci/hermes handbag that costs $50 grand.”
I cannot begin to imagine how awesome it must feel to this uber wealthy!
Probably the same reason someone would pay a lot of money for those blockchain paintings! To resell it later for more money.
Phillippine Airlines was founded in 1941? The same year Japan destroyed almost every plane in the Phillipines 9 hours after Pearl Harbor? I would think that would have put them out of business.
