American Airlines has launched a fresh AAdvantage award sale, and the transatlantic pricing is the part worth paying attention to. You can fly one-way to Europe from 21,000 miles, and book the U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America from 9,000 miles one-way. Reservations have to be made by July 7, 2026, for travel between August 1 and September 30. That puts late-summer beaches and a shoulder-season Europe trip squarely in range.

American’s Flagship First is one of the last “true First Class” cabins you can still find on a US airline, and it only flies on the Boeing 777-300ERs in the fleet. With American now refreshing its long-haul cabins (the new Flagship Suites replace First Class altogether), I wanted to try it before it disappears forever, and Buenos Aires to New York is one of the few routes where you can still book it! With great availability usually using AAdvantage miles. The timing made it even more attractive: 2026 is American’s centennial, so the airline has introduced special “100” branded menus, amenity kits, and pajamas to mark its 100th anniversary.

This month we are excited to roll out a redesigned flight list. It is a core part of AwardFares and what you see after every award search, so we rebuilt it to be clearer to read and to bring you more functionality. Here’s what it does.

SAS announced two new codeshares with SkyTeam partners: Aerolíneas Argentinas and Garuda Indonesia. One brings Argentina and Patagonia closer. The other brings Bali and the rest of Indonesia.

June is a busy month for EuroBonus members. SAS is selling rare points-only flights to Madeira for its 80th anniversary. On top of that, there are two new codeshares and a World Cup car rental offer worth up to 8,000 points. The 20% discount on Scandinavian awards and the SAS Holidays SUMMERDEAL deal have now closed, along with a few of May’s deals, and you will find them all at the end.

You find the perfect award seat. Business class, the right date, bookable with the miles you already have. You fill in the passenger details, hit confirm, and the page shows an error. You search again, and the seat is gone. It was never really there.
