Unfortunately I don't have much to report when it comes to travels within the past week, given that it has been another week at home. The closest I've come to traveling is endlessly looking at award availability and hotels for the future just for fun, but that's about it.
On the points & travel front, this week American and Southwest extended status, Hyatt introduced a status fast track opportunity for credit card spending, LOT's takeover of Condor was cancelled, Cathay Pacific announced that they are eliminating surcharges, Air New Zealand laid off all 777 crews, South African Airways is on the verge on liquidation, and more.
