Weekly Review: Travel, Points & News (2026)

Have you ever felt the thrill of a family getaway, only to find yourself utterly drained by the end of it? That’s exactly how I feel after our recent ski trip! While watching a three-year-old navigate the slopes is undeniably entertaining, it can be quite the workout—particularly when they’re out of their usual routine! So, as I take time to recuperate, you can look forward to several hotel reviews coming your way soon.

In the world of points and travel, this week has been particularly eventful. Bilt has introduced significant updates to its credit card offerings and housing rewards, promising exciting new opportunities for users. Meanwhile, United Airlines has increased its order for Boeing 787-10 aircraft, indicating a strong push for expansion in their fleet. In a more contentious exchange, Elon Musk found himself in a public spat with Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary, regarding the future of Starlink, reflecting the ever-evolving landscape of airline technology and connectivity. Additionally, United has announced a key leadership shift within its MileagePlus program, which could have far-reaching implications for frequent flyers.

With all those developments in mind, let’s take a moment to recap what’s been featured on the blog this week!
