Award Fee Hike, New Rumor and More

August 1, 2025 By Nancy Leave a Comment

Emirates Hikes Fees on US Fifth Freedom Award Flights: I detest high fees on award flights. Emirates recently increased fees on some flights. See this post on One Mile at a Time.

Did You know You Don’t Actually Have to Show ID at Airport Security?: I’ve heard of this, but it sounds like a time-consuming process, and you might miss your flight. See this post on View From the Wing.

Bilt Rent Day Today: Today is Bilt Rent Day, with the usual double points on earning categories and a transfer bonus to Avianca LifeMiles. I’m not going to participate in this one-day transfer bonus because I’m not a huge fan of the LifeMiles program. But, if you see award availability you can use, it’s a good deal.

Air France/KLM Flying Blue August 2025 Promo Awards: Book through August 31 for flights through January 31 2026. Get 25% off on economy from a few US cities to to Europe for 18,750 miles and on premium economy from DFW for 30,000 miles. See the entire list here.

Rumor! Chase Sapphire Preferred Fee Going Up Next Year: The rumor is the fee is going up to $150 (from $95). This would not shock me. See this post on Miles to Memories.

Enjoy your weekend!
