Welcome to WingTips Weekly, your first-class fix of aviation antics, loyalty loopholes, and brutally honest travel truths.
Every week, we cut through the cabin clutter to bring you what matters: smart ways to earn points, insider news from airlines and hotel chains, and a few cheeky observations about the state of modern travel (spoiler: BA’s still serving the same stale scone).
If it flies, earns points, or hands out elite status without requiring 57 nights in a roadside motel, we’re on it. Expect updates on the best UK travel credit cards, loyalty promos worth your time, shady devaluations hiding behind “enhancements,” and strategies to squeeze every last perk from your bookings, whether that’s a cheeky tier-point run via Inverness or hacking your way into Hilton, Diamond with a debit card.
This newsletter is for the Avios hoarders, the aircraft spotters, the hotel breakfast connoisseurs, and anyone who’s ever said, “I only fly that route for the tier points.”
So buckle up. We’re cleared for takeoff, and this week’s dispatch is stacked with news, tips, and tricks to get you more from your miles and less from your wallet.

And just like that, we’re back on the ground.
That’s all from WingTips Weekly, but before you run off to price out a mileage run or complain to Lufthansa’s chatbot, don’t forget:
- Forward this to your points-obsessed mate who still hasn’t realised they’re sitting on a small fortune in unspent Amex MR.
- Bookmark those promos. Set alerts. Stack offers. This game rewards the patient and the petty.
- And if you’ve got a juicy redemption rant or rant about redemption, we want to hear it. Hit reply, unload your cabin baggage, and we just might feature it next week.
Until next time, keep your miles rolling, your status intact, and your tray table sarcasm sharp.
Same time next week. No change fees. Make sure to follow us on our Wingtips page on X a.k.a twitter.
