JetBlue Adds Another Route offering Mint:  Many travel bloggers rave about JetBlue’s Mint Service.  JetBlue has just added another route offering their Mint Service from NYC to Seattle.  The consensus about Mint is that it blows other domestic first class products out of the water.  I can’t wait to try it!

Qantas Business Class Awards Open to Australia:  This rarely happens so when it does, jump on the opportunity.  There’s currently quite a bit of award space in business class from the US to Australia.  You’d still have to find your way back to the US, but half of the battle has been won!

Luxury Stays Don’t Always Have to Break the Bank:  Luxurious and family friendly are not terms that you normally see together, however there are a few places where they apply.  St. Regis is a top SPG brand and stays usually cost a lot in points or cash.  There are a few lower category St. Regis properties around the world which are total bargains that you can take advantage of.

Search for Awards One Seat At a Time:  Whether it’s a glitch in the system, or some intentional coding, many times your award seat prices change depending on how many seats you search for.  Make sure to take the extra step to search for just one seat before booking multiple seats so that you can compare prices.

Discounted United Awards Available to Some Interesting Places:  United currently has discounted some of their award flights by 20%.  You can fly to Portugal, Iceland, Singapore or Australia on a discounted award flight.  Book soon as this is for select dates in May/June 2018!

More Options for Visa Infinite Discounts:  For those who take advantage of the Visa Infinite perks to get $100 discounts on flights, now you have more options.  Soon you’ll be able to use this perk on Basic Economy fares and on Ultra Low Cost Carriers.  While the $100 discount stays the same, it could increase your percent discounts with these new options.

Is Korean Air Limiting Award Space?:  Korean Airlines has long been known to have amazing premium class products and also some of the best award availability among airlines.  However that may be changing.  There aren’t a lot of data points yet, but it seems like Korean Airlines is starting to limit award availability on their own metal.  I’m hoping this is just a minor glitch!

American Airlines and Hyatt Team Up:  Hyatt is currently offering members 1,000 bonus AA miles per stay at any Hyatt Place or Hyatt House.  You must register for this promotion.  Also, you’re able to stack this promotion with other current Hyatt promotions.
