Good morning everyone, I hope you are having a great holiday season so far! Now that we are approaching the end of 2023, it’s time to review my 2023 predictions and see how (badly) I did. Correct predictions are in green and incorrect predictions are in red.
My 2023 Airline Predictions (0 / 4)
American Airlines or Alaska Airlines will be added as a transfer partner from a transferable points currency. – No, AA and AS were not added as a transfer partner in 2023, but AA is still a transfer partner of Bilt.
British Airways will change their award chart to calculate the number of Avios needed on a combined distance flown, not on a segment by segment basis. – No, BA has not changed their award chart to calculate combined distance flown.
Delta Airlines or United Airlines will introduce a “Miles and Cash” payment option for award tickets (pay 10,000 miles or pay 8,000 miles + $40). – No, DL and UA did not introduce a “Miles and Cash” payment option.
Southwest Airlines will work very hard to make up for their December 2022 travel nightmare by offering a transfer bonus from Chase and spending offers on their credit cards in January 2023. – No, SWA did not introduce any transfer bonuses in 2023.
