Watch Us On YouTube! Announcing a new, ongoing benefit for annual subscribers of our Slack community. Annual subscribers receive a free Points Path Alerts subscription OR a 30% discount on Points Path Pro. Google is officially getting deeper into the points-and-miles world, and Ed and Richard have plenty of questions. Google is adding travel functionality to AI Mode that can search for points-and-miles availability directly from participating airlines and hotel programs. Initial integrations include Alaska, Hawaiian, American, Choice, Hilton and Wyndham, with Flying Blue, Hyatt, LATAM and Lufthansa among those expected to follow. And the results can be fast—Richard gets award pricing back almost instantly during the show. But fast doesn't necessarily mean accurate. Ed puts the new functionality through a series of tests and finds incorrect Hilton award prices, missing hotels, problems with dates and days of the week, and incomplete results. Richard gets Google to find an Alaska Mileage Plan redemption on American—but only after specifically asking about it, and even then Google provides the wrong partner booking fee. They also conduct a live experiment looking for Marriott award availability during Atlanta Braves home games, with some interesting results. So, is Google AI ready to replace dedicated award-search tools? Not yet. But Ed and Richard agree that if Google can make the data more reliable, the ability to ask a broad question like "Show me every date in October when I can fly this route for 7,500 miles" could become extremely useful. Richard also breaks down Bilt's new partnership with Blacklane, which allows members to book the chauffeur service directly through Bilt and use Bilt Cash or points toward rides. He explains why a premium airport pickup can be particularly valuable at airports where rideshare pickup is a hassle—and acknowledges that the convenience comes at a price. Plus, a $10 Uber Eats order somehow becomes a $29 order, the guys discuss air traffic controllers reportedly leaving work early before a fatal airport accident, and Ed celebrates a very points-and-miles-specific parenting achievement.

David is a seasoned traveler who has visited over 30 countries. He and his wife are looking forward to a trip to Budapest when he receives an email from Lufthansa about a scheduling change. Hoping to rebook their connecting flight and having no luck with the email link, David searches for a customer service number and calls it. This "Lufthansa" helps him rebook the trip on a more complicated route and promises to reimburse him for the substantial charges. Later, when he discovers additional charges on his credit card, he is alerted to the scam costing him over $12,000.

Der Arbeitsmarkt sendet zwei Signale, die sich zu widersprechen scheinen. Lufthansa streicht 4.000 Stellen, BMW 8.000, bei BASF sind 7.000 Jobs bereits weg, und pro Jahr verschwinden nach Zahlen der Bundesagentur für Arbeit rund 200.000 Arbeitsplätze, ohne nachbesetzt zu werden. Gleichzeitig sind die Auftragsbücher der Industrie so voll wie nie seit Beginn der Erfassung 2015. [01:26]Frank Hensgens, Geschäftsführer von Indeed DACH, erklärt im Gespräch mit Alexander Wiedmann, warum das Geschäft der weltgrößten Jobplattform sich von der Zahl der Stellenanzeigen entkoppelt hat. Den stärksten Rückgang sieht er in der Softwareentwicklung, während Handwerk und Gesundheitsberufe stabil bleiben, und von der Debatte über eine Lockerung des Kündigungsschutzes erwartet er vor allem mehr Verunsicherung. [06:35] VDA-Präsidentin Hildegard Müller hält es für zu kurz gegriffen, die Verantwortung für die Lage der deutschen Wirtschaft beim Kanzler abzuladen. Sie fordert einen Kraftakt der gesamten Gesellschaft. Die Autoindustrie jedenfalls leiste ihren Teil. Allein in den nächsten vier Jahren würden 320 Milliarden Euro in Forschung und Entwicklung und weitere 220 Milliarden in den Um- und Aufbau von Werken gesteckt.

Die Jubiläumslackierung zum 100. Geburtstag der Lufthansa begeistert Fans weltweit. Für Designer Ronald Wild war der Erfolg zwar erhofft, aber nicht in diesem Ausmaß erwartet. Im Gespräch erklärt er, wie die Sonderlackierung entstand, warum der Kranich das Herzstück des Designs bleiben musste – und weshalb selbst Boeing kurzfristig seine Planungen änderte. Viel Spaß mit dieser Folge. #Lufthansa #Luftfahrt #Airbus # Boeing

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Luisa Schürmann. Sie ist bei Lufthansa Archivarin. Wir tauchen ein in das Archiv des Unternehmens und sprechen über 100 Jahre Lufthansa.

We speak with a oneworld Alliance VP about airline alliances in general, and oneworld in particular. In the news: a mid-air near miss at Atlanta, NTSB and families call on Congress to act on the DCA accident recommendations, a civilian plane crash and military GPS jamming, adaptive-cycle jet engines and sixth-generation combat aircraft, and the unleaded avgas transition plan. Guest Roger Blackburn, Vice President – Commercial and Loyalty, oneworld Alliance. Roger Blackburn serves as the Vice President – Commercial and Loyalty for the oneworld Alliance. He leads the commercial team and oversees corporate revenue, events, and alliance fare products, as well as the development of oneworld's loyalty proposition. A member of oneworld's leadership team for the past six years, Roger has led several key alliance initiatives, including the creation of oneworld's first two branded lounges. In our conversation with Roger, we learn about the value that airline alliances provide to the member airlines, and what value accrues to the flying public. We look at criteria for membership in an alliance, network fit, commercial value, and alliance governance, as well as loyalty programs and lounges. For reference, here are the three major global airline alliances: Star Alliance, founded in 1997 by Air Canada, Lufthansa, SAS, Thai Airways, and United. oneworld, founded in 1999 by American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, and Qantas. SkyTeam, founded in 2000 by Delta, Air France, Aeroméxico, and Korean Air. Aviation News Two Delta Air Lines Jets in Mid-Air Near Miss at Atlanta Hartsfield as Air Traffic Control Direct Departing Aircraft into Path of Other Plane This was a mid-air near-miss at ATL with two Delta Air Lines flights: Flight DL-1568 from Pittsburgh to Atlanta operated by a Boeing 737-900, and Flight DL-2472 from Atlanta to Rochester, New York, an Airbus A321. The airport was experiencing weather delays, and controllers were working at full capacity to clear the backlog. Departures and arrivals were taking place on parallel runways. DL-1568 had been scheduled to land three hours earlier and was diverted to Chattanooga to wait out a storm. The arriving flight 1568 elected to make a go-around after seeing a Frontier flight taking a long time to clear the runway. At the same time, departing flight 2472 was directed to turn and climb to the same altitude as the other Delta flight. A TCAS Resolution Advisory alarm sounded, and the aircraft came within 1,800 feet of each other. NTSB Chair, Victim's Families Call Upon Congress toTake Action on 50 Safety Recommendations After DC midair It's been a year and a half since American Airlines Flight 5342 and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter collided near DCA, killing 67 people. Six months ago, the NTSB issued safety recommendations. NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy and families of the victims want Congress to take action on the 50 open recommendations. So far, Congress has failed to pass either the Rotorcraft Operations Transparency and Oversight Reform (ROTOR) Act or the Airspace Location and Enhanced Risk Transparency (ALERT) Act. Statement from NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy on the open recommendations for the investigation of the January 2025 midair collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport In part: “Six months ago, we concluded our investigation and adopted our final report, issuing 75 findings and 50 safety recommendations, all of which must be implemented to prevent reoccurrence, yet we are no closer today to addressing many of the serious safety gaps that contributed to this terrible tragedy. “Every day that passes without implementation of all 50 NTSB recommendations represents a continued and unacceptable risk to public safety. “The National Transportation Safety Board provided a clear roadmap to improve aviation safety and reduce the risk of another catastrophic midair collision. Now it’s time for action that was promised months ago; we owe it to the victims, to the families who continue to grieve their loss, and to the millions of people who rely on the safety of our aviation system every day.” A Civilian Plane Crashed in New Mexico. Was Military GPS Jamming To Blame? On May 14, 2026, a Trans Aero MedEvac Beechcraft King Air 90 crashed in the New Mexico Capitan Mountains, killing four people. The NTSB’s preliminary report [PDF] stated that routine military GPS jamming exercises from White Sands Missile Range were active at the flight’s altitude and location. ADS-B was also degraded. The crew's ForeFlight pre-flight package briefed the pilots on the jamming threat. Air Force eyes next-gen engine ‘integration' by 2030 Although no decision has been made, the Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion (NGAP) system could go into the F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) platform. Both Pratt & Whitney and GE Aerospace are developing NGAP prototypes which the Air Force intends to compete for future production. NGAP is designed to be platform agnostic and is a multi-billion-dollar program using adaptive-cycle jet engines for sixth-generation combat aircraft that change jet engine characteristics in flight, allowing more fuel-efficient cruising or increased thrust. GE Aerospace and Pratt & Whitney (RTX) are the two competitors, building prototypes designated GE’s XA102 and P&W’s XA103. As of late July 2026, the program completed a pre-prototyping readiness review, with both contractors having met the Air Force’s design requirements, clearing the way to begin building and testing hardware. ‘Final' Unleaded Avgas Transition Plan Released The so-called “Version 1.0” of the 72-page FAA transition plan was released, updating a draft plan released earlier this year. The FAA says it's keeping the 2030 target date for replacing 100LL with unleaded fuel. Unleaded fuel takes center stage at AirVenture The FAA took some of the comments received to heart, including communication and transparency. AOPA reports, “the FAA plans to release new versions of the transition plan after each phase. The agency also plans to publish two additional documents soon: an FAQ on unleaded fuel and a summary of the input received during the public comment period in early 2026.” Four transition phases make up the plan: Authorizing fuels and doing comparison testing. Focus on unleaded fuels gaining market experience for the benefit of fuel producers, aircraft owners, fuel retailers, and others. Wide-scale transition, first in the Lower 48 by 2030. Followed by Alaska two years later.

NiCE (NICE) CEO Scott Russell discusses the drivers behind the company's 8% year-over-year revenue growth, pointing to AI adoption, a strong partner ecosystem, and demand for financial crime and compliance solutions. He explains how enterprises are deploying AI for increasingly complex workflows, such as Lufthansa's automated flight rebooking system, and why customers are now focused on measurable returns and outcome-based pricing.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Bahner, Eva www.deutschlandfunk.de, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft

De topman van Palantir laat geen enkele kans liggen om een grote mond te trekken. Zo ook nu weer bij de kwartaalcijfers van het bedrijf van Alex Karp. Die cijfers zijn om over naar huis te schrijven. Een omzetgroei van 93 procent, bij de commerciële tak zelfs 149 procent. 'Mensen spugen hun kunstgebit ervan uit', zegt Karp. Hoe ze dat voor elkaar krijgen hoor je deze aflevering. Dan zoeken we ook uit of de zorgen die sommige beleggers tóch hebben terecht zijn. Zij vrezen dat ook Palantir ten prooi kan vallen aan AI-bedrijven die hun businessmodel kapot maken. Karp opent in ieder geval de aanval, want hij zegt dat die bedrijven 'drugs maken' en ervoor willen zorgen dat we massaal 'eraan verslaafd raken'. Verder hebben we het over Spotify. Dat noteert omzetgroei, abonnee-groei, én een recordmarge. Maar toch kan het beleggers niet blij maken. Die zetten hun gedeprimeerde toon van de afgelopen kwartalen gewoon door. Je hoort ook nog over BP, dat Shell na-aapt. En over Donald Trump, die opeens geen vriendjes meer is met oliebedrijven.

Het is een beetje een saai, ouderwets en gedateerd techbedrijf, maar tóch moet je erop letten, zegt onze gast, Jos Versteeg van InsingerGillisen. Infineon! Een Duits techbedrijf, volgens Jos in de verste verte niet vergelijkbaar met bijvoorbeeld TSMC, daar is de techniek te oud voor. Tóch vindt hij de cijfers interessant, omdat ze chips leveren voor datacenters. Daar hoopt hij meer over te horen. We kijken vooruit op de cijfers, en ook een klein beetje op die van AMD. In Beurs in Zicht stomen we je klaar voor de beursweek die je tegemoet gaat. Want soms zie je door de beursbomen het beursbos niet meer. Dat is verleden tijd!

Wildfires are forcing tourist evacuations across France and Spain with officials warning the risk is spreading, Norwegian Cruise Line's CEO admits the company's problems are mostly self-inflicted, and Lufthansa and Air France-KLM are competing for Portugal's national airline with two very different approaches. On today's Skift Daily Briefing, Sarah Dandashy breaks down what the latest European wildfire disruptions mean for summer travel plans and why this is becoming the new normal, why Norwegian Cruise Line's unusually candid CEO diagnosis is either reassuring or alarming depending on how you read it, and why the TAP Air Portugal bidding war is really about who controls the gateway between Europe and Latin America.

Annual subscribers receive a free Points Path Alerts subscription OR a 30% discount on Points Path Pro. Travel doesn't always go according to plan—and this week proves it. Ed and Richard swap stories from a week filled with thunderstorms, flight delays, rental car headaches, and what may be one of the worst Hyatt Place stays either of them has experienced. Richard recounts an unforgettable late-night arrival that included multiple defective rental cars, a chaotic hotel check-in, broken room amenities, and an experience that ultimately prompted him to complete a hotel survey for the first time in years. The conversation also takes a closer look at why American Airlines has quietly become Richard's airline of choice over the past several weeks. Between competitive first-class pricing, consistently excellent onboard service, reliable Wi-Fi, and solid meals, American is making a compelling case while Delta continues to work through operational challenges. Plus, a fascinating discussion about a Lufthansa 787 maintenance mistake, Denver Airport's long-awaited pedestrian tunnels, and Richard's review of the historic Arizona Biltmore.

Your brother demands you cut off the parents who hurt him years ago, but your kids love their grandparents. Now what?

Now let's dive in!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1339On This Week's Feedback Friday:You're 51, sober, settled — but your brother just went no-contact with your parents over a dark secret from your unconventional cult-and-commune childhood. Now he's demanding you keep your own kids away from them too. Do you owe him solidarity, or are you being pulled into a grudge that was never yours to carry?You were just doing a friendly round of reconnect-with-old-contacts networking — harmless, even thoughtful. So why did one message detonate into a startlingly bitter response from someone you used to work with? What old wound did you accidentally reopen, and how do you respond when goodwill gets thrown back in your face?Your wife left you for a coworker, you tried for a year to win her back, and then a heroic dose of mushrooms — mismeasured, not your fault — sent you to the ER and quietly dismantled your career, your finances, and your sense of who you are. Now you're 37, isolated, and unsure how to even set a goal. Where do you start rebuilding?Recommendation of the Week: WuKong Education. After Jordan and Jen enrolled Jayden and Juni in WuKong's online Mandarin classes — 1-on-1 sessions with certified teachers in China, six days a week — the results spoke for themselves: a kid who once spoke no Chinese now cheers when her homework's ready. Interactive, structured, and built for overseas families, it's a strong pick for anyone trying to get their kids fluent.You're working a full-time job plus two more, your wife works full-time too, and you're still living paycheck to paycheck — and somewhere in there you've started to feel like a failure as a father.

Jamie Metzl asked AI to distill thousands of years of human wisdom into 10 commandments. What it reflected back says more about us than the machine.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1338What We Discuss with Jamie Metzl:AI is a mirror, not a prophet. For his latest book, The AI Ten Commandments, Jamie Metzl worked with GPT-5 to mine humanity's scriptures, wars, myths, and philosophies for ten universal principles — not to worship AI or replace religion, but to hold up a mirror and stress-test the rules by which we're already living.Radical transparency about AI co-authorship cuts both ways. Putting GPT-5 on the cover felt honest to Jamie, but with public sentiment soured, the same disclosure that read as bold a year ago now reads to many as an admission of cheating.Pressing the button gets you "the total average of crap." Jamie cut 40% of the draft, rewrote the whole book, and hired two human editors — proof that good AI-assisted work comes from relentless human editing, not from outsourcing the thinking.Humans aren't on the verge of obsolescence. We represent nearly four billion years of embodied evolution, and the claim that machines will soon do everything better sells short the majesty of being human; the real frame is a Venn diagram of overlapping strengths.Stop building second-rate humans and second-rate machines. Don't fear replacement — ask how to help your humans be the best humans and your machines be the best machines, and use AI to stress-test the rules by which you're already living.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

This Skeptical Sunday, Jessica Wynn explains how dialysis became a $50B industry where under 40% of patients survive five painful years of dependence.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1336On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Dialysis is a life-sustaining external filtration system for the roughly 800,000 Americans in kidney failure — but it's grueling. Most patients endure three to five hours per session, three times a week, indefinitely, and fewer than 40% survive beyond five years.The financial structure is staggering. Dialysis is a $50 billion-a-year US industry, with Medicare spending about $36 billion annually — roughly 7% of its entire budget for under 1% of the population. Two companies, DaVita and Fresenius, control about 70% of all clinics.The system rewards permanence over cure. Since 1972, Medicare has covered kidney failure for everyone regardless of age, creating guaranteed, indefinite revenue. Transplants and home dialysis are cheaper and better for patients, yet under-incentivized because they cost providers customers.The human and safety toll is severe. Infections cause 36% of dialysis deaths, sepsis mortality runs 100 to 300 times higher than average, and understaffing worsens outcomes. Many patients lose their jobs, mobility, and social lives — some choose to stop treatment entirely.The hopeful part: much kidney disease is preventable or delayable, and you have real power here. Manage diabetes and hypertension aggressively, get your kidneys checked with a simple blood and urine test, and see a nephrologist early — catching it sooner can dramatically slow progression.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Dr. Justin Garcia explains why heartbreak mirrors cocaine withdrawal, why dating apps backfire, and what humans actually hunger for beneath the swiping.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1334What We Discuss with Justin Garcia:Humans evolved with two parallel drives that don't always cooperate: pair bonding (social monogamy) and sexual variety. Only 3 to 5% of mammals form true pair bonds, but our wiring for connection and our hunger for novelty often pull in opposite directions — which explains a lot about why relationships are so complicated.The most expensive item on the menu at a legal Nevada brothel isn't sex — it's the "girlfriend experience," where men pay $20,000+ for champagne, eye contact, and the simulation of being wanted. Intimacy, not eroticism, turns out to be the rarest and most expensive commodity humans chase.Chronic loneliness is as damaging to your health as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day — and you can feel it even when you're surrounded by sexual partners. People with crowded romantic schedules but no real connection are quietly running a health risk equivalent to chain-smoking.Heartbreak isn't a metaphor — it's neurochemical withdrawal. fMRI scans of the romantically rejected look remarkably like the brains of people detoxing from cocaine. The dopamine and oxytocin systems that build love operate on circuitry that closely parallels addiction.70% of people have eventually fallen for someone they weren't initially attracted to — meaning the snap judgment that drives swipe culture is almost always wrong. Slow down, say yes to second and third dates, introduce novelty into existing relationships (a new recipe, a new park, a new position), and water the grass you already have. Connection is built, not detected.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

HyperNatural co-founder Chris Kolbe reveals what's hiding in your synthetic clothes, why it matters, and the simple fix that won't break the bank.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1333What We Discuss with Chris Kolbe:Polyester, nylon, and spandex are all plastic used in modern fashion — and most people don't realize they're wearing petrochemicals against their skin. When asked directly if they wear plastic, people say no, while pointing at their synthetic gym shirt.The danger is twofold: plastic itself requires chemicals like phthalates (hormone disruptors) to become soft and pliable, while topical finishes for "quick dry," "wrinkle-free," and "water-resistant" claims form a layered cake of chemicals that comes off first and leaches into the body when activated by heat and sweat.Marketing has sold consumers a false premise over the last 30 years: that it takes plastic to achieve performance. Chris Kolbe, a 30-year apparel industry veteran, argues the industry solved performance while quietly creating a whole new set of health problems.Real-world proof exists where it's hardest to dispute: airline uniforms. Delta's purple polyester uniforms caused health problems so severe that flight attendants had to quit working, prompting lawsuits — a rare case where constant daily wear made cause and effect visible.You don't need to torch your closet or buy $400 underwear — start where exposure is highest. Focus on high-contact items (underwear, socks, leggings, gym shirts, bedding), read labels, ask brands for actual receipts over vibes, and upgrade one item at a time. The closet is just the next frontier after we've cleaned up our food, water, and skincare.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Screens are rewiring teen brains and torching their happiness. Michael Regilio cuts through the glare to explain what's really at stake on Skeptical Sunday!Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by skeptic, comedian, and podcaster Michael Regilio!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1332On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:The fear of new technology is ancient and remarkably repetitive. Critics warned the telephone, the printing press, even writing itself would rot brains and shred social bonds. Today's smartphone panic is the latest verse in a very old song, though experts insist this time the data is louder.The "U-shaped" happiness curve — high in youth, dipping in midlife, rising again after fifty — has held steady across cultures for decades. But around 2014, right as every teenager got a smartphone, that youthful high point collapsed, and researchers like David Blanchflower are sounding alarms.Big Tech isn't accidentally addictive — it's engineered that way. Frameworks like the Fogg Behavior Model power infinite scroll, autoplay, and notification floods designed to exploit adolescent cravings for status and novelty. Reed Hastings admitted Netflix's real competitors are sleep and human connection.Internal documents from Meta and Alphabet lawsuits revealed the ugly truth: companies knew their platforms harmed teen girls and deliberately targeted users as young as 11. One memo read, "If we want to win big with teens, we must bring them in as tweens" — exploiting developing prefrontal cortexes by design.Screens aren't the devil — how we use them is what matters. Play video games with your kids, FaceTime grandma, keep phones away from babies, and set lights-out rules at night. The best screen time report might be a screen-down report: what did you do with your one short life while you weren't scrolling?Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
