Top stories of the week by Colin Hogan, Newsletter editor Greetings! It's Sunday, and you know what that means … time to pour a hot beverage, sit back, relax and get caught up on the big stories we've covered this past week. Check out Southwest Airlines’ new and improved interior cabin — just the latest in a string of big changes the airline has rolled out this year. Meanwhile, this airline is rolling out some spiffy, private check-in areas for premium-cabin flyers. And the six largest U.S. airlines are now all working toward providing this popular perk, free of charge. Two TPGers raced across Morocco to test which is faster: flying or taking high-speed rail? This card's shiny new look has turned out to be a huge hit with cardholders. One TPGer used $50,000 worth of unfortunate life expenses to get amazing perks on her favorite airline. You can still book some of these awesome flight deals using transfer bonuses (look carefully, though, since one has now expired). This cool Marriott promotion is an easy way to score extra points.
