Live and Let’s Fly Weekend Digest: October 08, 2017

Matthew Klint Posted onOctober 8, 2017November 14, 2023 Leave a Comment

I’m back in Los Angeles after a week in France/Switzerland/Germany. My trip was exhausting so it will be great to stay in LA this week.

The big news of for the week, at least in my mind, was the death of the Star Alliance mileage run. Since you can no longer earn one mile for every mile flown with Singapore KrisFlyer, I outline the best program to credit cheap United Airlines flights.

As a frequent United flyer, United Airlines is a strong focus on Live and Let’s Fly. This week’s United stories included Guam cutbacks, behind the scenes with the new safety video and CEO reflections on the Las Vegas tragedy.

Here’s a review of the week’s top stories:
