Speaking of air travel, TPG’s aviation team had its hands full last week keeping track of some network shake-ups by airlines.
Most notably, JetBlue revealed plans to cut numerous routes as part of a larger push to return to profitability. Most affected: shorter-hop routes on the West Coast, though the airline is pulling out of a handful of domestic and international cities, too, focusing on its “bread and butter” routes.

If you’re starting to think about summer bookings this weekend, it’s a great time to check current transfer bonuses that could help you get the most out of your hard-earned points.
