Welcome back to another wingtips weekly roundup. Another week, another round of mile-chasing madness. The aviation world never sleeps, and neither do we (well, not until we’ve hit Gold status and rinsed a lounge dry of olives and sparkling water). Whether it was BA finally coughing up tier point details, Jet2 stealing hearts with its now-iconic holiday jingle, or yet another airline announcing “game-changing” A350 orders that sound suspiciously like last month’s news, the skies have been noisy and not just from overhead cabin announcements.
Meanwhile, hotel loyalty schemes are quietly sliding in updates when no one’s looking, and travel credit card perks are playing a round of now-you-see-it, now-you-don’t. In short, if you blinked this week, you probably missed something that could’ve earned you 500 Avios or a cheeky upgrade.

That’s your wingtips weekly aviation and points bulletin, no nonsense, no corporate fluff, just the juicy bits with a side of sarcasm. As always, we’ll be back next week with more gossip from the gates, perks from the programmes, and hopefully fewer headlines about cucumber sandwiches in First Class.
Until then, keep chasing status, not your tail, and make sue to give us a follow on X (a.k.a Twitter).
