Flair Airlines is cutting service to Miami and St.
Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport (near Tampa Bay) in Florida, and

IHG Rewards Club is going to be testing out dynamic or
variable award pricing for their free hotel award nights. Now common
place among many loyalty programs, we here in Canada are most accustomed
to Aeroplan’s Market Fare Rewards where the amount of miles you need
will depend on the price of the flight. However we don’t know what they
mean exactly by variable pricing. Will it be tied to price or will it be
fixed variable like Marriott Bonvoy with Peak, Standard and Off-Peak
pricing. We also don’t know is how big this test will be as in if it
will be across the board or only at select hotels. (Source IHG) HT Head for Points
