The room has a contemporary design with a mix of neutral and bright colors, including a colorful geometric-patterned pillow on the couch. There is a small table or counter next to the person, and the background includes a doorway and various decor elements.

All sorts of changes in the past week or so with the Delta SkyMiles program, plus a special guest talking recent premium cabin travel on a handful of airlines.

A large piece of driftwood lies on a sandy beach with gentle waves lapping at the shore. The sky is overcast, and there are palm trees and vegetation in the distance along the coastline. The water is a light turquoise color, and the beach appears to be relatively empty and serene.

Capacity collusion, CRJ Coffin Corner and Cuba’s Challenges. Lots of strange stories in this week’s show.

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!

A seal is lying on a large piece of ice floating in the ocean. The seal has its mouth open, possibly yawning or calling out. The surrounding water is a clear blue, and the ice appears thick and rugged. The scene suggests a cold, polar environment.

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.

How did SHARES best Sabre? Ask American Airlines and its 787 inaugural flight. Plus a lost wallet, two programs going variable on award prices and a mistake fare which raises all sorts of questions.
