#DearOhad is back and this week’s award travel buzz is wild. BA slashed Avios rates (but not fees), Delta wants to fly LAX–Hong Kong, Gulf Air eyes NYC, and United is toying with Polaris perks. Plus, Amex just opened a Centurion Lounge at Tokyo Haneda. Let’s dive into the upgrades and fine print.

#DearOhad is back and July’s travel chaos isn’t waiting. Emirates First Class is bookable again (but pricey), ANA redemptions are changing, and CapitalOne just became a serious transfer powerhouse. Your points are powerful — if you move fast. Let’s make them stretch before the next blow lands.

The points game just sped up. Amex is gutting its Biz Plat rebate, JetBlue and Hawaiian are splitting, and easyJet killed its elite program. Meanwhile, Qatar QSuites dropped in price - if you knew where to look. Blink and you’ll miss the best redemptions.

The points game isn’t dying — it’s evolving. But if you’re still playing by last year’s rules, you’re losing value every day. This week’s #DearOhad is your no-BS guide to surviving devaluations, dodging fee hikes, and making smarter moves while everyone else panics.

Chase is hiking fees. Amex changes are looming. Points are losing value—but only if you’re not paying attention. This week’s #DearOhad tackles the strategy behind the chaos: what to apply for, what to cancel, and how to protect your points before the rules change (again).

Flights vs. hotel upgrades? Both matter—flights save cash, hotels save sanity. Business class ruins coach for life. Points bribe families and sometimes blow up your wallet. Delegate wisely or watch your points run wild. Manage smart, or get schooled by the loyalty game. 💥 Boom, travel truth served.

Elite perks that feel like pranks, communal shampoo trauma, Wyndham’s promo labyrinth, robe theft ethics, and the awkward art of saying “I want my own room.” This week, Ohad checks into hotel chaos with sass, sarcasm, and zero tolerance for loyalty program gaslighting.

Snarky etiquette meets points-hoarding delusion in this week’s Dear Ohad. From overhead bin wars to seafood crimes at 38,000 feet, Ohad tackles the absurdity of modern travel with dry wit and zero patience for your TikTok-blasting seatmate. Bonus: romance advice that won’t get you deported.

The inbox is overflowing with existential wanderlust—this week it’s less “Which transfer partner?” and more “Why did the guy in 22A clip his toenails mid-flight?” Sharpen your sarcasm and locate your neck pillow; etiquette disasters, nomad dreams, and carbon-footprint guilt are all on deck.

ANA First for 55K? Hyatt villas with cliffside pools? Flying Blue glow-up? We're not here for basic bookings—we're here for "Dom" @ 38K feet & 6K-point Venice suites. Stop hoarding, start flexing. Your points deserve a better life—and so do you.
