✈️ Air India Just Slashed Award Prices & Hyatt Is About to Raise Them — Act Fast
from Miles & Points Daily Podcast · host Miles & Points Daily Podcast
Air India has made a jaw-dropping move by cutting its own award prices by up to 52%, making flights to India more accessible than ever — but you'll want to act before things change. World of Hyatt is rolling out a new five-tier pricing model in May that will send top properties like the Park Hyatt New York and Andaz Maui soaring to 75,000 points per night, so booking now under current rates is critical. On the credit card front, the Amex Business Platinum and Business Gold are sporting some of the highest welcome offers seen in years, and the Citi Strata Elite just became a compelling option for American Airlines loyalists with its new AAdvantage transfer partnership. United Airlines has quietly stripped key Polaris business class benefits from its cheapest fares — including lounge access and checked bags — in a move that's bad news for premium cabin travelers. Plus, Flying Blue is offering 25% off Europe awards this month, Lufthansa is upgrading its A380 business class, and American Express has quietly removed a major transfer partner.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!Support us - ChaseChase BusinessAmerican ExpressAmerican Express BusinessBilt RewardsCapital OneRampRakuten
