I spent the past few days flying around the US on American to check out some of their new lounges, and starting this coming week my international travel dry spell is ending, as my fall of (more or less) nonstop international travel will kick off. I’m really excited about that.
On the points & travel front, this week news broke that China would be changing their policies on using smartphones inflight, Uber’s London license got revoked, airberlin’s topbonus program made a bit of a comeback, Amex cardmembers began getting access to Lufthansa lounges, and much more.
With that out of the way, here’s a recap of this week on the blog:
