Podcasts about British Airways

In this episode, Mike is joined by former moderator Jackie and her P2 Brent to discuss one of the most creative uses of points and miles you'll hear about — the Mother's Ruin Challenge, a single-day bar crawl across four cities (New York, Chicago, Nashville, and Charleston) all completed to earn free drinks for life. Jackie and Brent break down the logistics, the planning, and how points and miles made the whole thing possible — turning what would have been an outrageously expensive last-minute multi-city trip into something totally doable.Two news items worth knowing: American Airlines appears to be cutting off partner programs like British Airways and Alaska from booking last-minute saver awards within 144 hours of departure, while those same seats remain available through AA's own miles program. On the brighter side, Hyatt is rolling out Advance Booking Access starting June 30, 2026, giving Explorist, Globalist, and Lifetime Globalist members a 13-month award booking window — a full month ahead of everyone else.The episode closes with a spotlight on Chicago Seminars (November 6–8 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago O'Hare), a weekend gathering of roughly 500 points-and-miles enthusiasts featuring sessions ranging from beginner to advanced, manufactured spending discussions, and networking — plus a philanthropic component benefiting select charities. The overarching theme of the episode: points and miles aren't just about saving money, they're about lowering the barrier between "that would be cool" and "I'm actually doing it."Links to Topics DiscussedAmerican Airlines blocking last minute partner awardsHyatt Advance Booking Window for elitesChicago SeminarsWhere to Find UsThe Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.To book time with our team, check out Award Travel 1-on-1.You can also email us at 101@award.travelBuy your Award Travel 101 Merch hereReserve tickets to our Late Summer 2026 Meetup in Milwaukee now. award.travel/mke2026Our partner CardPointers helps us get the most from our cards.

Annual subscribers receive a free Points Path Alerts subscription OR a 30% discount on Points Path Pro. Hyatt's new award pricing is officially here — and travelers are still trying to figure out exactly how bad it is. This week on Miles To Go, Ed is joined by Julian Kheel from Points Path to break down Hyatt's new multi-tier award pricing system, including what changed, which properties were hit hardest, and whether this truly changes the value proposition of Hyatt loyalty. They also discuss where Hyatt still trails competitors — especially around free night certificates and "4th or 5th night free" style benefits — and why the next 12 months could be important for Hyatt's long-term strategy. From there, the conversation shifts to a surprisingly valuable new Chase offer through the Paze wallet platform, where Sapphire cardholders can currently earn up to 10x Ultimate Rewards points with select merchants. Plus, British Airways raises carrier-imposed surcharges yet again, Delta may be expanding free checked bag benefits on its credit cards, and Ed shares another frustrating round of United Wi-Fi roulette while waiting for Starlink to expand across the fleet.  Get hydrated like Ed in Vegas with Nuun Use my Bilt Rewards link to sign-up and support the show!

Jamie Howard is the filmmaker behind Chasing Silver, Running the Coast, Location X, Black Salmon, and Bass The Movie — and yesterday he sat down with me to talk about his new podcast Cameras Off, the Tarpon Diaries series he's launching inside it, and where the show is going next as it expands beyond fishing Jamie and I have been crossing paths for more than twenty years. He pulled me into Location X back when I was figuring out the film world, and he's still the kind of person who looks at the water like he's seeing it for the first time. That's part of why his films land. The reason I want you to listen to this one is simple. The article gives you the topics. The audio gives you Jamie — his timing, his hedge, the way he laughed when I told him I thought there was a foot in the frame of his most famous shot. None of that translates to text. Hear it from him. Follow Cameras Off on Spotify — Season 1 is out, the Tarpon Diaries series drops on Thursdays, and the channel is widening out to include adventure photographers, Red Bull wingsuit flyers, and outdoor stories beyond fishing.

Do any of the luxury hotel booking platforms (like Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts®) allow booking for others? If you are hotel chain agnostic, should you have a hotel credit card? We answered these questions and more on the Ask Us Anything hosted live on YouTube on May 6th, 2026.(00:16) - I have 14999 Delta Sky Miles and need one more lousy point to be able to book an award ticket. I can transfer 1000 points from Amex, but that seems like a waste. I tried to convince Delta support to comp me a point, but they were seemingly unable to help. Any suggestions (other than getting the Delta Amex card)? (04:03) - If you have complete flexibility to position to any airport in Europe to fly home to the USA, are flexible on arrival airport in the USA/Canada/Mexico, and time wasn't a constraint, but you would like a good points redemption in J (not first), where would you position to and which airline would you book on? (08:39) - ​If you are hotel chain agnostic, should you have a hotel credit card? (12:24) - Question on 5/24 if over, are there any data points on the United or Southwest business card? (14:38) - Should we now value Membership Rewards points higher than Chase Ultimate Rewards points? I'd rather have an American Express Platinum Card® than a Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card at this point. Would you guys disagree? (19:50) - Do any of the luxury hotel booking platforms (e.g., Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts®, The Edit by Chase Travel℠, etc.) allow booking for others? (22:57) - ​At what cash back rate do you prefer cash over miles/points (excluding when you are working on a welcome offer)? (27:50) - Do you think we'll finally see an Ultimate Rewards Hyatt transfer bonus in the future? (30:15) - Question - Greg has mentioned a few times about being able to pay for the fees on British Airways with Avios, as a card benefit. I can't seem to see how to make that work. Any more details? (34:43) - ​For airlines that allow a stopover on an award flight, has your experience required a phone call reservation, or have you booked a stopover online? (37:03) - ​Can I apply corporate codes when booking hotels through Rove? Can Rove act like a shopping portal? Get corporate rates and Rove miles. (39:00) - ​​Is it possible to product change the old aviator if I've had it for less than a year now that it was product changed? I know banks frown upon this before the first annual fee posts. (40:58) - ​Barclays American Airlines card transferred to Citi. What would be the best course of action to get the welcome offer on the Citi American Airlines card now that I have one, but haven't previously gotten the welcome offer? (44:01) - ​​Does the FM team know if I make a reservation with the 25k Atmos Summit Companion certificate, and later cancel the reservation before the original expiry, if the certificate is returned and can be reused? (44:38) - ​Can I use Hyatt points for suite upgrades with cash booking through Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts®? (45:49) - ​​​What's each team member's biggest regret in their points and miles journey?Mentioned in this episode:Visit FrequentMiler.com Did you know that Frequent Miller is also a website?

What if burnout isn't something that suddenly happens to us…but something that quietly builds over time?In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, I sit down with executive leadership coach and author Lynn Blades to explore what she calls “The Quiet Burn”—the slow, invisible erosion of energy, identity, and self-worth that so many women experience.Drawing from both her personal experience and her work with global leaders, Lynn shares how the constant pressure to prove ourselves, push through, and “hold it all together” can eventually lead us to break.This episode is an invitation to pause…to notice the signs…and to rethink what we've been taught about strength, success, and sustainability.✨ In This Episode, We Explore:Why burnout doesn't happen overnight—it builds quietly over timeThe powerful “burnt toast” metaphor and how it reflects our lived experienceThe progression from stress → overwhelm → burnoutWhy “pushing through” is often what leads us to breakThe hidden cost of constantly proving our worthWhy rest is not something we have to earnHow guilt, shame, and fear keep us stuck in over-functioningReframing self-worth beyond productivity and external validationWhy confidence is contagious—and how it impacts everyone around us

Après plus de 70 ans de présence, Air France abandonne définitivement l'aéroport de Paris-Orly ce 29 mars 2026. Derrière cette décision historique, un constat économique implacable : le modèle du transport aérien domestique ne fonctionne plus comme avant. C'est une page qui se tourne dans l'histoire du transport aérien français. Après plus de 70 années de présence, Air France va définitivement quitter l'aéroport de Paris-Orly. Désormais, la compagnie concentrera ses opérations parisiennes sur l'aéroport de Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle. Un choix loin d'être symbolique, qui répond avant tout à des impératifs économiques. Pour bien comprendre, il faut revenir à l'organisation historique. Orly, situé au sud de Paris, accueillait principalement les vols court-courriers. À l'inverse, Roissy, au nord, s'est imposé comme le hub international du groupe, notamment grâce à ses infrastructures plus vastes, avec quatre pistes contre deux à Orly. Pendant longtemps, ce partage fonctionnait. Mais aujourd'hui, l'équilibre est rompu. À lire aussiCentrafrique: la compagnie aérienne Air France cesse les vols directs entre Paris et Bangui Un marché domestique en déclin et des pertes financières massives Depuis plus d'une décennie, le transport aérien domestique français s'essouffle. Et le phénomène s'est accéléré après la crise sanitaire du Covid. Le segment le plus rentable, la clientèle affaires, s'est effondré. En cause : la concurrence du TGV, mais aussi la généralisation du télétravail et des visioconférences. Depuis le Covid, jusqu'à 60% des voyageurs d'affaires ont disparu sur certaines lignes. Or, ce sont ces passagers qui payaient les billets les plus chers. Résultat : des avions moins remplis et des lignes de moins en moins rentables. En 2022, le court-courrier a généré près de 200 millions d'euros de pertes pour Air France. Autrement dit, la compagnie continuait d'opérer à Orly mais en perdant de l'argent. Face à cette situation, le groupe a fait un choix stratégique clair : se recentrer sur Roissy, là où se crée la valeur. Avec environ 72 millions de passagers par an, contre deux fois moins pour Orly, l'aéroport de Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle permet d'optimiser les correspondances et de rentabiliser les vols long-courriers. Low cost, concurrence : Orly entre dans une nouvelle ère Le départ d'Air France ne signifie pas pour autant un abandon du marché. C'est sa filiale à bas coût, Transavia, qui récupère l'essentiel des lignes. Un choix logique : le modèle low cost est bien plus adapté à ces liaisons. Grâce à des coûts d'exploitation plus faibles, des avions plus remplis et des services simplifiés, l'objectif est simple : rendre ces lignes enfin rentables. Mais ce repositionnement ouvre aussi la porte à une concurrence accrue. Des acteurs comme easyJet, déjà présents à Orly, comptent bien capter une partie des voyageurs, notamment les professionnels. La bataille ne se jouera plus uniquement sur les prix, mais aussi sur les horaires, la ponctualité et la flexibilité. À plus long terme, la transformation est encore plus profonde. D'ici 2030, les compagnies low cost pourraient représenter plus de la moitié du trafic aérien européen. Le cas d'Air France à Orly s'inscrit donc dans une tendance globale : les grandes compagnies traditionnelles, comme Lufthansa ou British Airways, concentrent leurs efforts sur leurs hubs internationaux et délèguent le court-courrier à leurs filiales à bas coût. Au-delà du symbole, le départ d'Air France d'Orly illustre une mutation profonde du secteur. Le transport aérien domestique, longtemps pilier des compagnies traditionnelles, est aujourd'hui fragilisé. Face à la concurrence du rail, aux nouveaux usages professionnels et à la pression des low cost, les règles du jeu ont changé. Et avec ce départ, c'est toute une époque du transport aérien français qui s'achève. À lire aussiLes compagnies aériennes s'inquiètent de la hausse des incivilités en vol

Loyalty is shifting… but not in just one place. In this episode, Rob Burgess (Head for Points), Ben Lipsey (Air France-KLM) and Phil Gunter (Loyalty Status Co) explore what British Airways' move to spend-based status means — and why competitors are already moving to take advantage. At the same time, Jan Pieter Lips (Capillary) and Tom Shapira (Wellesley Hills Financial) unpack Capillary's acquisition of SessionM, and what it reveals about scale, valuation and the future of loyalty technology. If you run a loyalty programme, this episode matters. Sponsored by Loyalty Status Co.

EPISODE SNAPSHOT Welcome to The Bryan Air Podcast. Boardroom decisions land on your flight deck — we translate them first. We break down executive moves, economic forces, and the technology reshaping how pilots are trained, assessed, and employed. No corporate spin. Just the career intelligence pilots actually need. Jet fuel prices have doubled in three weeks. Brent crude is above $100 a barrel. Airlines are canceling thousands of flights and slapping surcharges on tickets. And yet Emirates is still selling seats while smoke from a drone strike billows over the Dubai skyline. In this episode, we dig into what the fuel shock actually means for pilots on the line, from South Africa's 21-day strategic reserve to European carriers killing green fuel mandates because they cannot afford regular kerosene. We ask the question a father called in to ask us: should his kid stay in flight school? And we look at whether this crisis reshuffles the deck for airlines like British Airways who are already adding capacity while Gulf carriers absorb the hit. In this episode of The Bryan Air Podcast, Bryan Roseveare and Ryan Parrock analyse the Middle East fuel crisis, jet fuel price shock, South Africa's supply vulnerability, Dubai airspace safety, pilot career strategy during conflict, British Airways market repositioning, and the growing role of AI in airline rostering ahead of the Singapore aviation symposium. ✈ TIME-STAMPED FLIGHT PLAN 00:00 Bryan Air decision training tool: practise cockpit decisions on live flights 01:09 Episode intro and why this week is not sugarcoated 01:58 Jet fuel doubles in three weeks: the numbers airlines do not want you to see 03:43 South Africa runs on imported fuel with 21 days of reserves 06:20 Should your kid go to flight school?

Ever wondered what it's like to fly 17+ hours straight? Matt Drinkwater comes to share his experience with Qantas on the near-Kangaroo route to Perth (we talk the past and present of that route), and more, onto Brisbane. Matt and Paul share a deep bond with Japan, and discuss the beauty, and quirkiness, of flying within Japan, from small airports, to the smell of Kansai International (yes, airports have a smell!). Qsuite to Bali, it doesn't get much better than this (especially with that chocolate ganache). There's a certain allure in epic journeys, a remnant of our forefathers' explorations, this also requires you to get lost, something that Japan or China still offer (don't resist, do let go). Do you research the food you'll have on-board? Matt does (that salt and pepper squid at the Heathrow Qantas lounge!). Can one love British Airways in 2026? Matt does, and makes a great case why it stays relevant, in spite of its IT woes (but, do you smash into people at Heathrow?!). When technology meets emotion (Star Wars, anyone?), and when it doesn't (that gimmicky hologram… IYKYK). The same goes with crew uniforms, and Matt works in fashion (also, American Airlines, please watch Forks, the episode of The Bear). The global tensions, jet fuel woes, and the inflation of air travel fares in the very near future (a sensitive topic …and book that trip now!).

More poisonous food that you're eating daily, United Airlines kicks deaf lady off of plane, the Academy Awards are this weekend, and a sleazy British Airways pilot reportedly secretly recorded sexual romps and posted them online...

Non-Rev Lounge: Recording Mishaps, Travel Updates, and a Move to Salt LakeTyler opens the episode explaining Monique's family emergency, a recording mistake that cut a 70-minute Laura conversation down to about 30 minutes, and brings on his wife, Katie, to join. Tyler and Laura recap their attendance at the Cranky Network Awards, discuss pilot hiring challenges affecting Laura's son, Drew, and talk about Middle East disruptions, including an American Airlines Philadelphia–Doha flight that turned back over Spain with the crew and non-revenue passengers stuck in Doha. They cover recent Mexico trips, spring travel concerns, a Charlotte ramp worker arrested after texting a bomb joke, and a British Airways crew reportedly eating cannabis gummies from a passenger. Tyler and Katie discuss the pros and challenges of a non-rev-heavy lifestyle, then reveal plans to transfer from Phoenix to Salt Lake City for cooler weather, family proximity, and better schools, as well as a new StaffTraveler “Route Explorer” tool for finding routing options.00:00 Welcome and Guest Swap01:28 Katie Aviation Roots02:26 Lara Returns to Lounge03:12 Network Awards Recap05:17 Airline Hiring and Furloughs06:44 Dave Full Time Flying09:01 Middle East Diversions12:42 Cancun Trips and Safety14:20 Miles Deal and OKC Stop20:04 Airport Bomb Joke Arrest22:48 Gummy Gift Controversy25:47 El Paso Closure Story27:21 Airspace Closed Shock28:15 Working Together Couple29:36 Travel Perks of Benefits33:30 Lifestyle Tradeoffs and Home36:00 Kids Logistics and Bragging39:17 Getting Stuck and Lounges44:09 Cancun Plans and Crowds46:44 Family Seating Long Flights50:27 Route Explorer Tool55:47 Moving to Salt Lake01:03:07 Podcast Plans and WrapCheck out Route Explore from StaffTraveler   https://route-explorer.com/StaffTraveler wants our feedback to help build Route Explore before it is officially released.  Send any feedback to support@stafftraveler.comStaffTraveler is offering a 10% code for any of our listeners who buy their eSIM.Use the Promo code ST10NONREVLOUNGE  https://share.stafftraveler.com/nrl-esim✈StaffTraveler is a great app that can assist your non-rev travels!

Happy National Get Over It Day! (Actually it's not get over it day and we totally messed this up). We kick off the episode by testing out our new "professional" green screen setup, avoiding "shrimp-backing" in our chairs. Erin recaps a rare date night at a microbrewery where Dan became best friends with random strangers.In fitness news, Erin gives an update on her Craig Conover 10K training—surviving a brutal, side-stitch-inducing 3-mile run—and her ongoing quest to do one pull up. She also shares her strategy of making a literal PowerPoint presentation to teach her reality TV hating friends about Southern Charm, and expresses her anxiety over an upcoming Adidas brand trip (fingers crossed for a "donut and hiking" group).Then, we dive into a massive Olympics and sports recap. We demand a scoring bonus for figure skater Amber Glenn after she won gold while on her period, debate ESPN's list of the most difficult sports (putting basketball over gymnastics is a crime). We also call out NBC for allegedly paying Snoop Dogg $500,000 a day, review the wildest Olympic drama (from the Mark Kennedy curling scandal to a biathlete confessing to infidelity on live TV), and praise Eileen Gu for flawlessly shutting down a dumb reporter's question. Plus, we discuss a corporate brand that blatantly copied Erin's unhinged purple tank top and yellow sweatband look for a TV commercial.Finally, we cover a wild story about a British Airways flight crew who had to be grounded after accidentally hallucinating on passenger-gifted THC gummy bears, and we call out Logan Paul's shady $16.5 million Pokémon card sale after shutting down the fractional NFT app that funded it. We wrap things up with a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" story about a girl who corralled dozens of strangers—including pilots and flight attendants—at an airport baggage claim to give her friend Morgan the ultimate welcome home.

Economy or First Class: Is the Upgrade Actually Worth It? ✈️

Episode Description: How quickly do you judge someone when you first meet them—and what really matters in those first few seconds?

Africa Highlights and Travel Lessons: Egypt Challenges, Gorilla Trekking, Vic Falls, and Cape TownTyler hosts Non Rev Lounge in Austin with returning guest Melissa and her husband Jay, longtime friends who first met Tyler on a Southwest flight and later traveled together to Hawaii. They discuss Melissa and Jay's multi-week Africa trip planned around Jay's 50th birthday, including missing Tyler's family by a few hours in South Africa due to itinerary timing. The conversation covers a difficult, budget-style stop in Egypt (Cairo) with a non-English-speaking driver, getting lost en route to the pyramids, frequent requests for money from vendors and even a police officer, confusion around museum pickup logistics, being taken to an underwhelming “bazaar,” disappointment about a cheaper-than-expected dinner cruise, and an unpleasant hotel dining payment incident; they conclude Egypt is better done via a prepaid guided tour or river cruise. They then describe traveling through Rwanda and Uganda, visiting the Kigali Genocide Museum (highly emotional and impactful, leading them to skip the planned city tour) and completing a gorilla trek in Uganda's Bwindi Impenetrable Forest They also recount activities around Victoria Falls such as the Devil's Pool experience on the Zambia side (swimming across, proximity to hippos/crocodiles, and fish nibbling feet), plus zip lining, lion walking (with safety rules and notes about controversy and the operator's reluctance), rafting, and a Botswana safari near Chobe National Park and the Chobe River with many elephants. They touch on flights and logistics—using miles for British Airways into Egypt, buying some intra-Africa flights for reliability (including Ethiopian and Kenya), concerns about weight-restricted flights returning to the U.S. (ultimately flying United to Newark and onward), using candy as a thank-you (sometimes refused as a “bribe”), and doing laundry via sink washing and local services. 00:00 Welcome to NonRev Lounge + Introducing Melissa & Jay01:56 How Tyler & Melissa Met: The Southwest Flight That Started It All02:53 Buddy Passes, Hawaii Trips, and Travel Style Differences04:59 Back to Austin: Texas Weather Whiplash & Catching Up06:07 Why Africa?

In a hobby full of rules, Avios prove to be an exception—and understanding how they work can unlock some of the best award flight opportunities available.   In this episode, I'm breaking down everything you need to know about Avios, the points currency used by British Airways, Qatar, Finnair, Iberia, Aer Lingus, and several other airlines. One crucial aspect of Avios that makes them unique among points currencies is their ability to move between partner accounts, which creates opportunities you won't find anywhere else.   Listen in as I walk through what makes Avios so versatile, how to earn them strategically, and how to use their transferability to access better award pricing. I also cover British Airways' Points Boost feature that lets you buy Avios at a fraction of the usual cost, and share practical tips on setting up accounts, avoiding surprise fees, and finding the best value for your award flights.   Whether you're brand new to Avios or looking to squeeze even more value from these programs, this episode will show you how to think strategically about one of the most powerful—and underutilized—points currencies in award travel.   Get full show notes and transcript: www.pointmetofirstclass.com/avios-guide-transfers-sweet-spots    Want to shape the show?
