Live and Let’s Fly Weekend Digest: June 17, 2018

Matthew Klint Posted onJune 17, 2018November 14, 2023 Leave a Comment

Greetings from Italia. Sadly, I’ve had to spend Father’s Day away from my family…but my trip, like every trip, is in order to provide for them. Even so, every trip in which I am separated from my family is bittersweet.

Top stories from the last week include the official announcement of an American Express lounge in Los Angeles, a gathering storm in China for U.S. airlines, and two new ways to use your United miles.

I wish all my readers who are fathers a very happy Father’s Day. Check out Carly’s great post on fatherhood here. Here’s a round-up of the week’s top stories and a review of every post from the last week on Live and Let’s Fly.
