Given its proximity to Washington, D.C., slots — especially long-distance ones — at the heavily congested Reagan National Airport are highly coveted. 

Spirit Airlines is the latest ultra-low-cost carrier to drop change and cancellation fees. 

Ryanair is one of Boeing’s biggest customers, so you’d think the contest to be the plane maker’s new CEO would a big deal. But it isn’t.

In less than one year, a major change is coming to the airport security process. Starting in the spring of 2025, all US fliers will need a new type of identification in order to make it past the TSA checkpoint and board their flights.

When I first started at The Points Guy all the way back in 2011, it wasn't unusual for me to spot a mileage deal, grab my suitcase and hop on a plane at the drop of a hat. These days, however, I'm more likely to plan ahead and plot out each trip I take moment by moment well in advance (mainly so I don't annoy my partner with the frequent disappearing acts!).

Dining rewards programs are among the easiest ways to earn miles, and one popular program is Alaska Mileage Plan Dining. You can earn Alaska miles when you dine with a linked card at participating restaurants.

But a short journey from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to the restaurant will prove a bonanza to hungry plan-spotters, whether they’re interested in the airliners flying overhand or the forever-parked fighter planes at the Proud Bird.

A transatlantic United Airlines flight had to turn around after a business class passenger's laptop got stuck in their seat, travel news site Paddle Your Own Kanoo reported.

Private aviation, despite its detractors, is the engine that drives business. In fact, Dublin Airport authorities recently dropped plans to limit private jets after corporate users said it would cause them to halt Irish expansion plans. Equally important, private aviation plays a critical role as a time machine for leisure flyers. UHNWs regularly jet between homes and vacation spots.

We often say the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is the best first credit card for those learning about the points and miles hobby.
