Episode Details

Spirit Airlines has revealed it will run out of usable cash within days, and in a stunning twist, the federal government is reportedly considering buying the airline outright — but there's a catch no one seems to have figured out yet. Lufthansa is making waves with its newly upgraded A380 now flying from Munich to Los Angeles, while also rolling out a controversial new basic economy fare that strips carry-on bags from short-haul travelers. On the deals front, Marriott Bonvoy is offering a 30% discount on purchased points through June, and a limited-time welcome bonus on a Alaska Airlines card is turning heads with one of the most valuable offers seen in years. The Chase Freedom Unlimited's elevated sign-up bonus also has a hard cutoff at the end of April, so time is running short to grab it.
