Welcome aboard WingTips Weekly, your one-stop cabin for all things loyalty, luxury, low-cost chaos and lounge lurks. If it flies, earns points, or looks suspiciously like a scam in the name of “enhancing the customer experience”, we’re covering it. Think of this newsletter as your pre-departure briefing: a sharp hit of aviation gossip, loyalty updates, credit card drama, and airport oddities delivered every week with zero turbulence and plenty of sarcasm.
Whether you’re a seasoned status chaser or still figuring out what Avios even are (no judgement… sort of), we’re here to decode the jargon, flag the best promos, and occasionally rage about airline sandwiches. Expect honest takes, sharp analysis, and more acronyms than a BA cabin crew roster.
So, buckle in, grab a flat white (or a flatbed if you’re fancy), and prepare for take-off. We’ve got a juicy lineup this week, and no, it’s not just another press release pretending an A321neo is somehow newsworthy.

Opinion:
That’s a wrap on this week’s WingTips Weekly. If you made it this far, congrats you’re either a die-hard points nerd or just really avoiding doing actual work. Either way, we salute you. We’ll be back next week with more loyalty loopholes, route launches, and elite tier tantrums.
In the meantime, keep your apps updated, your boarding pass screenshot, and your metal cards visible at all times (for ego and priority check-in purposes, obviously). And if you spotted something weird on your travels, a half-reclined seat war, a mysterious cabin class no one paid for, or just a really smug guy in 1A, send it in. We love a good mid-air mystery.
Until next time: stay pointy, fly smart, and don’t trust anyone who says they love Heathrow T3. Make sure to follow us on X.
