Weekend vibes? Definitely. I’m holed up with family right now. Not going anywhere immediately, anyway. The real chaos hits in two weeks when my summer trip finally kicks in. Still tweaking the plans. Honestly? It’s exhausting. Packing two toddlers requires a level of logistical mastery most of us lack.
Memorial Day Weekend usually means the start of the “official” summer travel grind. I’m curious how it’ll look this year. Demand spikes, patience drops. We’ll see.
The points and miles world moved fast this week. Here is the noise:
- World of Hyatt pulled the trigger on those massive award pricing changes we’ve all been dreading. No more old rates.
- Emirates Skywards also hiked their prices. Painful, sure. But there’s actually a small upside somewhere in the fine print.
- Riyadh Air? Finally putting tickets up for public sale. The waiting is over for some.
- Rumor has it someone asked Emirates to launch long-haul flights from Israel. Bold. Controversial? Probably.
The rules are changing. Fast.
That’s the snapshot. Before you dive deeper into the recap or chase those new rates, remember this: I get a kickback if you click certain card links here. It’s an affiliate thing. It doesn’t dictate what I write. The editorial side is strictly mine. Unfiltered. Unapproved by the brands I talk about. Check the ethics policy if you really need to verify that.
What now?
