Hope everyone has a great weekend so far! I only went on a trip with my mom for the past week. We had an amazing time at one of my favorite hotels and I look forward to sharing my experience shortly.
In terms of points and travel, we’ve seen huge new bonuses on Chase Sapphire cards this week. American announced that all aircraft would be “ungrounded” by May. JetBlue secured London Heathrow slots, Air New Zealand operated an 11-hour flight to nowhere through More.
Here is a recap from this week on the blog:

Official: JetBlue secures slots at London Heathrow Airport
JetBlue plans to fly its A321LR aircraft from Mint to London with a brand new Business Class product this summer.
A major problem has been figuring out which airport in the London area to fly to as it can be difficult to secure London Heathrow slots. JetBlue has received a positive update on this as the airline has managed to secure slots for London’s most desirable airport.
Are we about to enter the golden age of travel? I am sceptical …
It’s an exciting time for those in the United States (and other countries who are good at handling vaccinations). We are about to have widespread vaccination and it looks like hopefully people will be able to travel without guilt for the coming summer.
This is a reason to celebrate and be excited. However, I saw that @xJonNYC coupled with a story that had an interesting take on how we will enter the “golden age” of travel, and I have my doubts.
