It’s been another week of major travel news, TPG readers, but have no fear if you think you missed any of it. I’m here to get you all caught up on this week’s biggest news in airlines, cruises, hotels and beyond.
Over on the hotel front, our team released the Best Hotels of 2024 list just in time for you to have wanderlust over the holiday break and start planning where you’ll stay in 2025. IHG Hotels & Resorts is targeting select members of its IHG One Rewards loyalty program to buy elite qualifying points for retaining (or upgrading) status for next year.
