This doesn’t strike me as being terribly logical, or as a winning strategy politically… but maybe it’ll get reversed within hours, kind of like that El Paso Airport (ELP) shut down? DHS shuts down TSA PreCheck & Global Entry with bad logic The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is suspending both the TSA PreCheck and Global Entry programs (which offer expedited security and immigration, respectively).

The partnership between Embraer and Adani Defence & Aerospace, which is part of the Indian industrial conglomerate Adani Enterprises, is, step by step, starting to take shape. On February 21, 2026, the two companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the setup of a final assembly line (FAL) for the E175 regional jet in India.

If you have a confirmed reservation at a hotel, can it be canceled prior to arrival by the hotel? If so, what are you entitled to, and does it matter what the reason is that the reservation isn’t being honored (a delayed opening, a property buy-out, etc.)? I think it’s a topic worth addressing big picture, since there are many reasons you may not end up getting the hotel room you paid for. What can cause a hotel to cancel your reservation? You probably assume that if you have a confirmed reservation at a hotel then you’re actually, you know,…

As absurd as that sounds, it is true with some major hotel loyalty programs, and it tends to catch people off guard. I get emails about this from shocked hotel guests all the time, so in this post, I’d like to cover the basics of this policy. After all, it’s something that I think many people don’t realize when they make a points booking.…
In a previous installment, I covered how I booked a last minute Lufthansa economy ticket with points from Frankfurt (FRA) to Copenhagen (CPH), after my Scandinavian Airlines flight was canceled. I had an interesting experience with upgrading this Lufthansa flight, which I’d like to share. My experience upgrading my Lufthansa flight with cashAs mentioned above, at the very last minute I booked a Lufthansa economy ticket with a partner points currency from Frankfurt to Copenhagen. This flight was very full in economy, and when I checked in online, I couldn’t select a seat, but instead, ended up on the waitlist…
Online shopping portals can be a great way to pick up additional miles & points for purchases you’d make anyway. Just for following a specific link, you can earn bonus points or cash back in addition to the rewards you’d earn for credit card spending.Sometimes companies really want you to buy products from them, to the point that it can make sense to purchase something through an online shopping portal even if you don’t actually have a use for it. Along those lines, there’s such a promotion available right now, which I think is worth taking advantage of. A few days…
