I’m finally back in the US for July 4th weekend, after having spent almost the entire month abroad reviewing various airlines. I’ll have lots of trip reports over the coming weeks covering those flights. My return to the US sure was a fun one, as I flew Air France La Premiere from Paris to Houston yesterday, and had the cabin all to myself. What an incredible flight, which I’ll have more on within the next day.

On the miles & points front, over the past week we’ve seen Qatar Airways’ much anticipated Qsuites go into service, changes from United MileagePlus, new hotel promotions, credit card offers expire, and more.
