Ed lands in Lisbon and hops right on camera with Richard to record this week's episode.  Richard and Ed are discussing United's tweaks to status qualification.  They're also answering a listener question about the best use of Alaska miles. And, they're discussing two current events.  First, the AARP British Airways discount is back.  And, it seems that Hyatt is making it easier to redeem Globalist Suite Upgrades.   If you're looking for a way to support the show, consider joining our Slack Community.
