Live and Let’s Fly Weekend Digest: December 10, 2017

Matthew Klint Posted onDecember 10, 2017November 14, 2023 Leave a Comment

I’m back in LA after a whirlwind trip to New York and Frankfurt. I’ll have more details on that trip tomorrow, including a dismaying incident at JFK.

My focus over the last week has been on the SWISS First Class award cancellation. I have no new updates to report today, but will continue to keep you updated as the situation unfolds.

This week I may once again be grounded in LA or return to New York and Hong Kong…that remains to be seen.

Here’s a look at the week’s top stories. I wish everyone a great week ahead.

TOP STORY:  Aeroplan: We Won’t Honor SWISS First Class Award Tickets
