Top stories of the week by Becky Blaine, Managing Editor, Newsletters Hi everyone, It's been a busy week! The TPG team started the week gathered together with our colleagues from around the world — shout out to Visit Philadelphia for the hospitality — and the week ended with a slew of airline news (and pumpkin carving at my house). Here's what you need to know to get caught up: In case you missed it, the United Airlines and JetBlue partnership, dubbed "Blue Sky," officially launched this week, allowing travelers to earn and redeem on either airline. A swanky new Hyatt is coming to Rome — and it’s bookable from 12,000 points per night. Spirit Airlines outlined its postbankruptcy plan and confirmed merger talks. American Airlines confirmed its oldest long-haul planes will get a full retrofit, complete with the company’s highest-end business-class product — along with brand-new seatback entertainment devices. If you are a Chase Sapphire Reserve® cardholder, a refreshed lineup of perks has gone live if you opened your account before June 23. Get all the details. This is a heads-up if you're flying through Los Angeles International Airport (LAX): Three big airlines started moving this week to make way for a new terminal. And, last but not least, don't miss some of the best card offers that are set to fly away: These end Oct. 28 and these end Oct. 29.
