Flying Blue launches 3 tiers for award flight (deval)

Looks like flying blue is now unbundling award redemptions into light, standard, and flex. Not as bad as Lufthansa, but a lot less perks than before.

Award travel gets harder every year.

Blackstone nears $2 billion Air Canada Aeroplan stake

Doesn’t seem like this is a good thing for consumers.

—— article excerpt ——
Blackstone Inc. is nearing a deal to pick up a minority stake in Aeroplan, Air Canada’s travel loyalty program, for about $2 billion, according to people familiar with the matter. 
Article content

The deal could be announced as early as this week, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential information. Some Canadian funds are set to invest in Aeroplan alongside Blackstone at the same time, the people said. 

Like its peers, Air Canada has been hard hit by the surge in jet-fuel prices due to the Iran war. In recent months, it has added flights to Europe and Asia to compensate for the drop in flying to the US, due to geopolitical tensions.

Still, the firm is expected to report an 85% drop in adjusted net profit from the prior year when it releases earnings on Wednesday, according to Bloomberg Intelligence estimates.

Error Fare? United Polaris Business Class for 27,000 miles for cardholders

I'm not sure what is going on, but I'm seeing United Polaris business class from EWR to SFO, LAX for only 27,000 miles! It's only available for United cardholders though.

So far, I'm seeing these flights from EWR to SFO in August and September. Most of the deals are United First Class with a stop, but some nonstop 787-9 Polaris business class flights are available at the 27,000 miles price.

Since these are cardholder-only fares, so Roame wouldn't have access to them. So I'm just manually checking routes and haven't checked all the United hubs.
