✈️ 405,000 Miles for One Route? Plus a London Deal for Just 3,000 Points

American Airlines has quietly updated its partner award booking with Fiji Airways, but the pricing will make your jaw drop — we're talking up to 405,000 miles one way for business class. Meanwhile, Gary Leff has rounded up some of the best remaining award sweet spots still standing in 2026, including a jaw-dropping London redemption for just 3,000 Virgin Atlantic points thanks to a Bilt transfer bonus. We also dig into an underrated Atmos Rewards credit card perk that could save frequent award bookers hundreds of dollars per year, plus a clever Bilt Palladium authorized user trick that can unlock tens of thousands of bonus points. And we cover two alarming stories — a Delta diversion that left passengers stranded after following crew instructions, and a respected aviation safety journalist forced to sell his home after a devastating lawsuit.
