It’s been a big couple of weeks, especially for those of us who are deal-minded. If you’ve missed some of the latest news with everything else going on, don’t worry — we have you covered.
We’re the most excited to share our 2025 travel trends report. If you haven’t checked it out yet, give it a read to know what to look out for and see how your travel plans stack up against the overall trends.
You might remember that a few weeks ago we brought you Ben Smithson’s experience being on board the world’s first Airbus A321xlr flight, a single-aisle plane that could revolutionize transatlantic flights. So you won’t want to miss the video Nicky and Liam dropped this week from their test flight from Madrid to Boston.
If you missed the chance to snag an Apple AirTag in the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, you may wonder if the new Alaska Airlines electronic bag tag will work as a substitute. (Spoiler: probably not.)
And if you’re a status-holder who feels like you haven’t been getting many upgrades lately, it’s not your imagination.
And of course, even though many of the Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Travel Tuesday deals have ended, a few are still going strong. It’s worth checking out these flight deals to see if you can still snag a good one.
Here are a few other stories you may have missed last week:
