Weekly Review: May 09, 2026

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend so far! I'm grateful to be at home spending time with my family, as I need a few weeks at home to catch up on trip reports. I'm also happy that just about all of my upcoming travel is family travel, so that should be really fun.

On the points & travel front, this week Emirates reported record profits for the past financial year, AirAsia placed a huge Airbus A220 order, a United Boeing 767 had a terrifying landing at Newark, Lufthansa backtracked on its Allegris first class seat monetization, and more.

With that out of the way, here's a recap of this week on the blog:
