Podcasts about SkyTeam

In Episode 116 of the Award Travel 101 podcast, Angie and Cameron dive into key travel news and updates, including a lively community discussion sparked by a member seeking solo travel advice for women. Recommendations ranged from safe bets like Switzerland and Singapore to more debated destinations like Morocco, Mexico City, and Cape Town. In news, SkyTeam announced lounge access policy changes that include tighter time restrictions and stricter guest access, while Qatar introduced a new “QSuites Guarantee” to compensate for aircraft downgrades. Hawaiian and Alaska Airlines are offering point purchase bonuses. Lastly, ANA is phasing out its ultra-cheap round-the-world ticket but now allows one-way awards, opening up new opportunities with low surcharges and excellent value.The highlight segment focuses on the American Airlines AAdvantage program. Angie and Cameron explore its unique characteristics, like the lack of bank transfer partners, but also its strengths—such as cheap domestic awards and valuable partner redemptions. They also break down the Loyalty Points system and status tiers, which offer incremental rewards from 40K points upward. Earning strategies include credit card bonuses, shopping portals, AA Hotels, and Bask Bank. The episode wraps with a tip from Cameron on consolidating Southwest flight credits before upcoming program restrictions, helping travelers simplify redemptions and maximize their leftover funds.Links to Topics DiscussedSkyTeam Lounge Access Policy "Enhancements"Qatar Q-Suites GuarenteeAlaska Airlines & Hawaiian Airlines Buying Points Bonus OffersANA Eliminating Round-the-World TicketBask Bank AAdvantage Miles EarningCombining Southwest Flight CreditsWhere to Find Us The Free 110k+ member Award Travel 101 Community.

The SAS EuroBonus Millionaire promotion may turn out to be 2024's Deal of the Year. We just have to fly 15 SkyTeam airlines before the end of the year to earn 1 million miles.

As you listen to this, Nick, Greg, and Stephen are in the air somewhere in the world trying to complete this promotion in 2 weeks or less.

This week we feature another installment of “Meet the Mods” Angie talks with Justin Walter who shared his journey into the points and miles hobby, which started in 2021 after being inspired by fellow enthusiast Justin Vacula. His first major redemption, staying at the Hyatt Ziva Cancun, got him hooked, and he now prefers traveling in business class, especially for international trips. One of his favorite redemptions was flying Virgin Upper Class from JFK to London using Flying Blue miles. He's now looking forward to his upcoming trip to Japan, where he'll experience JAL's first class. Justin's tip of the week is to always work on hitting minimum spending requirements to continue building points, as it's essential to unlock valuable rewards.Links to news discussedChase Ink Unlimited new elevated bonusSAS joining Skyteam, now bookable via Delta and Flying BlueAmerican Airlines switching to dynamic pricing on Fiji AirlinesIHG is back with another airline partnership.

Board games = cardboard. It's in the name of the material itself! But...what about An Age Contrived, a new Euro-style, action-programming strategy game designed by Chris Matthew of indie publisher Bellows Intent? It has magnetic bits, chunky Azul-style tiles, and in the Founder's and Collector's Editions, the player boards are set into solid metal frames. What? And you can shoot those tiles out with a spring/lever mechanism. Whaaaat?   We had to bring Chris on to ask how he balanced the component "wow" factor with manufacturing affordability -- and as a big gamer himself, Chris wanted to talk about how games have surprised and delighted us. We were delighted to chat with him, so give us a listen!   Timeline: 4:05 - Going Analog's game pick: Open Season. 9:40 - Chris's game pick: Revive. 16:36 - Going Analog's topic: An Age Contrived, balancing cool components with high costs. 41:20 - Chris's topic: how games can surprise and delight us.

Send us a textAb 2025 wird Swiss ihre Airbus A330 mit der neuen luxuriösen Senses-First-Class ausstatten. Doch die neuen, schwereren Sitze bringen ein unerwartetes Problem mit sich: Die Flugzeuge werden “nasenlastig”. Um das Gleichgewicht zu wahren, muss Swiss rund 1,5 Tonnen Bleiplatten im Heck installieren. Diese Maßnahme ist notwendig, um den Schwerpunkt des Flugzeugs auszugleichen und die Sicherheit zu gewährleisten.Der Trend zu mehr Privatsphäre und Komfort in der First und Business Class führt zu schwereren Sitzen, was sich auch auf die Reichweite der Flugzeuge auswirken könnte. Besonders auf Langstreckenflügen wie nach Miami oder Mumbai könnte dies relevant werden. Die ab 2025 eingeflotteten Airbus A350 werden dieses Problem jedoch nicht haben und sie bereits mit der neuen Kabine ausgestattet sind.#SwissAirlines #FirstClass #Allegris #Senses #AirbusA330 #Luftfahrt #FlugzeugTechnik #LuxusReisen #AviationNewsFrage des Tages: Freut ihr euch über die das neue SkyTeam Mitglied SAS?

Episode Notes A growing number of short-term rental hosts are turning to amenities such as pools, hot tubs and mini golf to help stand out from the competition. Reporter James Farrell examines what one executive calls an “amenities arms race.” Farrell writes hosts and owners willing to invest in developing properties with high-end amenities are likely to see benefits. Analysis from AirDNA found that listings with pools and hot tubs posted higher revenues and occupancy rates than listings without them. Luxury listings with high-quality amenities saw more pronounced revenue benefits than budget or economy listings.  Farrell adds the push for more amenities might be driven partly by the desire of hosts to appeal to families as well as wellness or adventure travelers. David Krauss, CEO of advocacy group Rent Responsibly, said members of those groups tend to expect high-quality amenities.   Next, Saudi Arabia says it's a destination for all types of travelers in its new tourism campaign, writes Middle East Reporter Josh Corder. A video titled “This Land is Calling” showcases several of the kingdom's attractions, including skyscrapers and seaside resorts. Corder notes the campaign aims to highlight the nature in the country as well as its culture and entertainment options. The video's narrator is a solo female traveler as Saudi Arabia attempts to send a message that it's a welcoming environment for female travelers.  The campaign launched on Wednesday in the UK, the U.S., France, Italy and Germany.  Finally, the Air France-KLM Group has officially become a shareholder in SAS Scandinavian Airlines, having formally acquired a roughly 20% stake in the company. Airlines Editor Gordon Smith lists three things to pay attention to.  SAS will join the SkyTeam group of airlines on September 1 after having long been a member of rival Star Alliance. Smith notes one of the biggest implications of the shift pertains to loyalty programs, with members of SAS and Air France-KLM's programs soon being able to enjoy reciprocal frequent flyer benefits.  Smith adds that flyers will find buying tickets and connecting between flights operated by the airlines easier. For example, Air France-KLM passengers will have easier access to 33 destinations in Northern Europe via SAS hubs. In addition, SAS confirmed it recently completed bankruptcy proceedings in the U.S., which CEO Anko van der Weff said represents a new era for the company.  For more travel stories and deep dives into the latest trends, head to skift.com.  Connect with Skift LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/skift/ X: https://twitter.com/skift Facebook: https://facebook.com/skiftnews Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skiftnews/ WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaAL375LikgIXmNPYQ0L/ Subscribe to @SkiftNews and never miss an update from the travel industry.
