There are lots of great business credit cards, but I’d argue that the portfolio of Chase Ink Business credit cards are among the best out there. They have just about everything I look for in credit cards — great welcome offers, big category bonuses, and useful perks.

I’ve written in the past about the general state of miles & points, and about how it’s the best of times, and the worst of times. Big picture, things are better than ever before when it comes to all the ways we can earn points, while they’re worse than ever before when it comes to the ability to efficiently redeem them.

Folks, Starlux Airlines’ COSMILE frequent flyer program has finally gotten into the business of selling miles to consumers. Objectively it’s a pretty awful deal, as the airline is charging an astronomical four cents per mile (we’ll see if there are promotions in the future).

Business class on narrow-body jets within Europe is known for being lackluster, generally just consisting of economy seats with blocked middles and improved service. In 2025, a Lufthansa Group carrier announced it would install more comfortable seats in business class on narrow-body aircraft. Ironically, it wasn’t a full-service airline like Lufthansa or SWISS, but instead the group’s low-cost carrier, Eurowings.

Buying miles & points strategically can represent a great value, especially for first and business class travel. The avianca lifemiles program has just launched its newest promotion on purchased miles. Historically the program has almost constantly offered these kinds of promotions, though we’ve seen fewer of these offers in recent times.

Regent Seven Seas is a cruise line owned by Norwegian, and it’s regarded as one of the better luxury cruise lines in the market. Head for Points flags something that I found to be interesting, and which I think is worth being aware of, for anyone planning a cruise. Long story short, if you book a Regent cruise, you absolutely shouldn’t leave these perks on the table…

The Ink Business Preferred Credit Card (learn more) is one of the all-around best business credit cards. There’s a lot to love about the card, from the huge welcome bonus, to the 3x points bonus categories, to the excellent rental car protection, to this being a good hub for the overall Chase business card ecosystem.

Goodness, one of the runways at Germany’s second biggest airport seems to be having a rough couple of days, after back-to-back incidents.

It’s always interesting to learn about the internal politics between airline management and frontline employees, especially when it comes to staffing levels, since that can also impact the passenger experience.

Flying Blue is one of my favorite frequent flyer programs for redeeming miles, as the program is useful for redemptions in premium cabins on Air France and KLM, as well as for travel on SkyTeam and other partner airlines.

Duringmy Four Seasons Yacht via Turkmenistan and Saudi Arabia adventure, I had a very long layover at Delhi Airport (DEL), prior to my Air India 777 first class flight. This allowed me to check out several lounges.

Buying miles & points strategically can represent a great value, especially for luxury travel. The Qatar Airways Privilege Club program has launched its latest promotion on purchased Avios, and it has the potential to be a good deal, even if youre looking to acquire another flavor of Avios. However, there are a lot of ways to acquire Qatar Airways Avios, so I wouldnt necessarily recommend outright buying them.

In the past year weve seen JetBlue finally get into the airport lounge game, given the general trend weve seen toward premium travel, trying to build lucrative co-brand credit card portfolios, etc.

Several days ago, I wrote about a strange occurrence, whereby two American Airlines plane ended up on the same frequency with the same callsign. That’s problematic, since air traffic controllers identify planes with their callsigns, and they’re intended to be distinct.

It’s a pretty exciting time when it comes to passenger experience announcements at American Airlines. In a separate post, I covered how the Fort Worth-based airline will be bringing back seat back screens on all mainline narrow body planes as of 2028.
