The relatively new rewards platform Rove has officially expanded its ecosystem by adding Air Canada’s Aeroplan as its latest transfer partner.

There are several “flavors” of the Amex Platinum Card®, including the American Express Platinum Card® for Charles Schwab. You’ll need to be a Schwab customer in order to get it, which is fairly easy, and it is subject to Amex’s dreaded “family” language. However, for those willing to jump through...

Rumors of layoffs at Delta Air Lines have been swirling for days, particularly involving the carrier’s IT division. After receiving an anonymous tip alleging massive cuts, I reached out to Delta directly and received an official response along with additional context from sources familiar with the situation.

We recently learned that just because an airline can through-check your bags on separate tickets doesn’t mean the process will be automatic. Earlier this year, I wrote about how interline…

An American Airlines passenger says he spent three hours contorted in a middle seat because the traveler beside him could not fit within one seat space. American responded that “customers come in all shapes and sizes,” but the airline’s own policy says passengers who need more room must buy a...

Air France/KLM Flying Blue has always had a bizarre, non-intuitive expiration policy. Miles expire after 24 months, and only certain types of activity can extend that, such as crediting a flight to the program or spending on the Flying Blue credit card. Earning miles through partners would also reset the...

In our Around the Web series we take a look at interesting articles that cover miles, points, travel and personal finance.

People pledging money to “buy Spirit Airlines” were already making a dubious bet: the campaign has no cash, no binding commitments, and no plan to fix the airline. Now scammers have spotted the obvious target — fake copycat sites are reportedly taking real money from would-be supporters.

Spirit Airlines offered taxpayers 80% of the company in exchange for a $500 million bailout. Trump wanted 90% and that extra demand may have helped kill the deal, leaving creditors to conclude they were better off liquidating the airline than giving the government nearly everything.

Apparently there is a new airline slang term floating around called “mermaiding.” I had never heard the word before this week, but after reading about it, I realized I may be guilty of one version of it…though certainly not the other. Airline “Mermaids” Are Apparently A Thing Now…And I Might...

It’s a fascinating time for loyalty at Alaska Air Group. We’ve recently seen Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines merge, though two separate brands are being maintained in the long run (though all flights now have the ”AS” code, as ”HA” has been retired). We’ve also seen the airline group introduce...
