Redeem AAdvantage Miles on Hawaiian Airlines Again, Las Vegas Resorts Join Hyatt and More

It’s Official: Redeem AAdvantage Miles on Hawaiian Airlines Mainland-to-Hawaii Flights After a 9-Year Hiatus! On my very first trip to Hawaii, we used AA miles to fly on Hawaiian Airlines. Shortly after, AA no longer allowed that redemption. Now, it’s back! See this post on View From the Wing. Hawaiian Airlines also flies to other destinations in Asia. Note: You can also now book Hawaiian Airlines flights using Alaska miles without having to transfer them to Hawaiian miles first.

Venetian and Palazzo joining World of Hyatt: These two Las Vegas resorts are leaving IHG and joining World of Hyatt. See this post on Frequent Miler. Is a status match merry-go-round coming back? I hope so!

22 Current Promotions for Buying Airline Miles and Hotel Points: I don’t usually recommend buying miles and points because even with promotions and bonuses the value isn’t great. However, sometimes you just need a few points to top off your account for an award. AwardWallet blog has a great summary of current promotions here.

MH370 Search Resuming, 10+ Years After Mysterious Disappearance: This case has always mystified me. A new search will begin in early 2025. See this post on One Mile at a Time.

Enjoy your weekend and hopefully some upcoming time off from work and school over the next few weeks!
