Welcome aboard WingTips Weekly – your ultimate pre-boarding ritual for all things aviation, loyalty and lounge-worthy. While the rest of the internet serves reheated PR fluff, we’re dishing out the hot stuff: spicy route rumours, cheeky upgrade tips, loyalty program loopholes, and the occasional side-eye at the airport “redesigns” that belong in the bin. Whether you’re a fully-fledged points goblin or just here for the cabin tea, we’ve got you covered. So buckle up – this week’s headlines are juicier than a business-class dessert cart on a delayed A380.

And just like that, we’re wheels up on another WingTips weekly. If your travel brain’s still taxiing, don’t worry – we’ll be back next time with more spicy seat maps, suspicious airline rebrands, and enough points talk to make your Amex tremble. Until then, keep your status high, your 737s MAXed out (but, like, safely), and your loyalty spreadsheets colour-coded. Oh, and if you’re still eyeing that BA companion voucher like a cryptic puzzle, it’s the same. See you at the lounge, legends.
