A(nother) loyalty partnership is dying and IATA admits it is slightly less relevant in one area. But plenty of new stuff coming to keep us interested.

  • Alaska Airlines’ MileagePlan and American Airlines’ AAdvantage programs are breaking up. Not nearly as acrimonious as the Alaska/Delta split, but still annoying for customers.
  • Why are YY fares dying? And what are they anyways?
  • Boston is getting new service from Delta that may or may not be dartboard-related.
  • Edelweiss is coming to Denver
  • Norwegian is going everywhere, including new London flights that take on legacies
  • Budapest is getting service to the USA again, and the operator might surprise you
