Episode Details

The Chase Sapphire Reserve's highest-ever public welcome bonus of 150,000 Ultimate Rewards points is expiring this Monday, June 15th, making this one of the most time-sensitive credit card opportunities in recent memory. A paid Flying Blue status match offering Gold or Silver status cuts off this Saturday for US and Canadian residents, and at just $199 for Gold, it could pay for itself on a single family trip. Japan Airlines is expanding its world-class A350-1000 fleet with new daily routes to Paris and London starting this fall, opening up fresh award redemption opportunities. United Airlines is teasing a new middle-seat-blocking product on its A321XLRs, while also debuting a massive new 40,000 square foot United Club at Washington Dulles this fall. Rounding out the episode, luxury hotel news includes the St. Regis London set to open in late 2026 and the newly bookable Andaz Turks and Caicos at Grace Bay for World of Hyatt redemptions starting in 2027.
