Yesterday we let know that Air Canada‘s Earn Your
Wings has returned. I know a lot of our readers were asking when it
would start and I think many will be dissapointed since it is only
available to Air Canada Altitude members for this third iteration. We
had a quick synopsis post yesterday and will follow up with a more detailed post soon.
Over on FFB we detail a new offer from Garuda Indonesia about how you
can get SkyTeam Elite Status after one flight between London and
Jakarta. I don’t think many of you will jump on this but it is worth a
mention just in case this a flight you can take this fall. Read more about it here.
