Entities such as the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, often stand in the background, quietly and persistently advocating for better working conditions for airline personnel.

Airline frequent flyer programs were once considered the golden ticket to premium travel experiences. Avid travelers could accumulate miles through flights, credit card purchases, and other channels, eventually achieving elite status or redeeming miles for luxurious upgrades and free flights. However, in recent years, these programs have become increasingly complicated, often making it harder for travelers to attain the best flights and elite statuses. In many instances, it may now be more beneficial to shop for the best flights and purchase premium cabin experiences rather than play the airline's game.
