from Miles & Points Daily Podcast · host Miles & Points Daily Podcast

In today's episode, we explore American Airlines' strategic removal of moving walkways at JFK to boost terminal shopping, and Southwest's warning about potential 'gate seizures' when their new checked bag fees begin. We share a cautionary tale about spending 60,000 miles for access to a disappointing Air Canada Signature Suite lounge. The episode also covers limited-time offers including a Southwest Companion Pass welcome bonus, an Amex transfer bonus to Qatar Airways, and strategies for flying with babies. Plus, we highlight new Hilton luxury hotel additions and unique travel experiences like South Carolina's synchronized fireflies.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/Thanks to Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!
