Good morning everyone, happy Sunday! Not to be deterred by my abysmal 2024 results (How Right (& Wrong) were my 2024 Airline, Hotel & Credit Card Predictions?), 2025 is a fresh year and the year all most some a few of my predictions will come true. Without further ado, here are my predictions for 2025:
My 2025 Airline Predictions:
- Alaska Airlines or Southwest Airlines will bring back their “convert travel funds to airline miles” feature.
- Alaska Airlines will let you use the Companion Fare to book Hawaiian Airlines flights.
- American Airlines will return as a Citi ThankYou Points transfer partner.
- British Airways will lower their partner redemption prices for American Airlines and Alaska Airlines.
- Delta will increase the annual fee on their credit cards and increase the Delta SkyMiles discount to 20%-25%.
- JetBlue will allow you to redeem points on a new partner airline (besides Etihad Airways, Hawaiian Airlines and Qatar Airways).
Southwest Airlines will do a status match once they start selling seat assignments.- United Airlines will bring back their “family pooling” feature.
