I've been traveling quite a bit this week, though exclusively within North America. We started off the week in beautiful Newfoundland, where we visited Fogo Island -- I'll have more on that shortly. Then I've spent the balance of the week in New York, as I had the chance to speak at the Loyalty@Freddies conference, and then attended the Freddie Awards. I'm not going to be flying much in the coming week, but then have a crazy couple of weeks of travel after that.
On the airline and hotel front, we've seen quite a few announcements, including United revealing some policy changes, Qatar Airways announcing flights to San Francisco, Etihad adjusting their A380 route network, Alaska changing their Priority Pass access policy, and more.
