NowBoarding, your daily travel news in 7 minutes or less. This is your host, Ed Pizza, bringing you the latest travel deals and travel news you need to know Monday through Friday. No more worrying about missing out on the best deals. Give us a couple of minutes every day and we’ll give you what’s going on in the world of travel.
Look for links to all of today’s stories in the show notes on whatever podcast platform you’re listening. And, please share the show with a friend!
First up today is hunting for extreme luxury with your hotel points. On the heels of a story last week about a private island that you could redeem your Hyatt points at, Frequent Miler has found a number of other luxurious opportunities for Hyatt award stays. Some of these hotel rooms go for over $1,000 a night and can be booked with your Hyatt points. You can also transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Hyatt to take advantage of these opportunities.
Want a free night in a luxurious Presidential suite or first class on a long international flight? Then you need to find Gilbert. Where’s Gilbert? That’s exactly the name of this fun game that Gilbert from God Save the Points is playing. Tune in before he’s gone.
From good news to bad news, Gilbert also brings us the news that you may want to avoid South African Airways for future flights. The airline is definitely going through some turmoil. Similarly, we could see the end of Hong Kong Airlines in the next few days. They’ve been warned by their regulator that they’ll lose their ability to operate flights this week if they can’t raise cash. Check your reservations and look for alternate solutions if these airlines were in your plans.
Berlin may finally be getting a new airport, almost 10 years after it was scheduled to open. And, as Ben from One Mile at a Time points out, it’s only fitting that some executives say everything is great while others say the airport still has problems.
Wrapping up today with a 30% transfer bonus from AMEX Membership Rewards to Virgin Atlantic Flying Club. Virgin Atlantic has a strong product flying between London and the US. But, they also have a friendly award chart that can get you to places like Japan without breaking your mileage bank.
That’s a full wrap on today’s travel news.

And, since we’re still getting started on this new format, you can do me a big favor and leave me a review on whatever podcast platform you’re listening to. Reviews and ratings are a huge part of what helps us reach a larger audience. And, if you’re enjoying the show, please tell a friend. That’s your travel news in 7 minutes or less. I hope you’ll join us again on a future flight!
