A seal is lying on a sheet of ice near the edge of the water. The seal has its mouth open, and the surrounding area is covered in snow and ice, with the blue-green water visible below the ice.

Somehow a conversation about a cruise to Antarctica gets derailed by the politics of Argentina and the Falkland Islands. Because we’re awesome like that. Hacked loyalty accounts, award sales and Haneda are also on the show. Enjoy!

  • Tagged as: American Airlines, business class, China, Delta Air Lines, lounges, PaxEx, Ryanair, United, United Airlines
The image shows a section of the Great Wall of China on a foggy day. The stone pathway is flanked by brick walls with small rectangular openings. The visibility is low due to the dense fog, giving the scene a mysterious and serene atmosphere. The path curves and ascends into the mist, disappearing from view.

Another mistake fare in the news this week, this time on American Airlines in business class to China. Delta is changing Medallion qualification rules slightly for the better and United gave its lounge food offerings a bump up. Also, Ryanair may actually fly TATL, or it might not.
