I hope everyone is having a nice (and safe) weekend so far. I've had a great week, as my parents got vaccinated, and I'm thrilled about that. While it's obviously still a tough time, the light at the end of the tunnel at least feels real.
On the points & travel front, this week Qatar Airways announced it would retire half of its A380 fleet, Norwegian decided to end long haul flights, the US added a new coronavirus testing requirement for international travelers, several hotel groups announced 2021 promotions, and more.
