✈️ Virgin Atlantic Partnership Falls Short & Alaska Launches Major Sale

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

Virgin Atlantic's new WestJet partnership disappoints as business class award availability is completely blocked on long-haul routes, leaving only economy options available. Alaska Airlines announces their Global Getaways promotion with up to 60% off economy awards to destinations like Copenhagen, Helsinki, and Hokkaido through May. American Airlines offers incredible value to Jamaica at just 8,000 miles each way in economy or 20,000 in business class. Plus, IHG launches their 21st brand called Noted Collection, targeting upscale properties with curated experiences, and Hyatt announces a new Andaz ski resort coming to Utah in 2029.Subscribe to Miles & Points Daily Newsletter 👉🏼 https://milesandpointsdaily.com/Thanks to Hotel Redemptions and Award Travel Finder for sponsoring this episode!Support us - ChaseAmerican ExpressAmerican Express BusinessRakutenBilt RewardsCapital OneRamp
