Air Canada Aeroplan is raising award prices on June 1st, and World of Hyatt is rolling out sweeping changes on May 20th that could make premium redemptions cost up to 67% more points — and the clock is ticking on both. A record-breaking credit card offer is also in its final week, making this one of the most time-sensitive episodes we've put together. On the industry side, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby has confirmed acquisition talks that could reshape the budget airline landscape and shake up loyalty programs. We also cover a jaw-dropping Emirates first class upgrade hint, Air Canada's new transatlantic jet, and a clever trick for topping off your miles balance before award prices jump.
