Description

A massive defection of British Airways' most valuable customers is sending shockwaves through the aviation industry, with over 4,000 elite frequent flyers switching to Air France KLM. We dive into what went wrong with BA's elite program overhaul and why these premium cabin regulars are taking their business elsewhere. Plus, we explore BA's mysterious new upgrade bidding system that few passengers have actually seen, and Ryanair's major boarding pass policy change coming in 2025. We also cover the latest points sales and bonus offers worth your attention.
