On a quest to prove that Las Vegas can still be affordable, MGM Resorts International is going all in on the all-inclusive model by offering a new booking option that includes a room, meals and lots of entertainment for one relatively affordable price. Both Luxor Hotel & Casino and Excalibur Hotel & Casino are now…

Welcome to the first-ever Points Battle at The Points Guy! Our founder, Brian Kelly, wanted to put the TPG team to the test to see who could make the most of their Chase Sapphire Reserve® card’s (see rates and fees) benefits — and he even gave us a stash of points to make our dream…

American Express has launched a new small-business card, the American Express Graphite™ Business Cash Unlimited Card, designed with simplicity in mind. The name follows the industry’s long-running habit of using premium-sounding materials — from “Platinum” to newer additions like “Palladium” — to signal exclusivity. In practice, though, that positioning only holds up when the benefits…

United Airlines was already making a big bet on “premium,” with the launch of its most upscale plane ever — and next-generation Polaris suites — which is set to take flight in the coming days. But the Chicago-based carrier isn’t stopping there in its push to court and keep high-end travelers. United on Tuesday announced…

Beginning next year, United Airlines will offer economy seats that convert into lie-flat “couches.” United just dropped a surprise announcement at today’s media day that caused me to audibly gasp: new lie-flat-seat rows in economy, complete with enhanced bedding and a stuffed animal.

United Airlines’ most premium plane ever is here and ready for takeoff — and it’s fully equipped with the next era of its Polaris business-class cabin. Inside a hangar in Los Angeles on Tuesday, the Chicago-based carrier took the proverbial wrapper off its brand-new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner in one of the more anticipated new-aircraft reveals…

There’s no question that it’s gotten more difficult to find great deals when it comes to booking award flights. Business owners can build up an ample supply of points and miles pretty quickly, but it’s only worth the effort if you can redeem them for a worthwhile trip. And while it’s all too common to…

United Airlines may be about to one-up itself with a fancier regional jet. Back in 2019, the Chicago-based carrier debuted the Mitsubishi CRJ-550, a 50-seat regional jet with a first-class cabin and lockers instead of overhead bins, so everyone — in theory — could store their bags onboard. Fast forward seven years, and United is…
