Today we cover a wild story about a Florida man who hacked Spirit Airlines' employee system for 120 free flights using fake credentials. We discuss Alaska Airlines' current 70% bonus miles promotion bringing costs down to 1.74 cents per mile, and reveal how US airlines have been secretly selling passenger data to CBP. Plus, we explore solo traveler surcharges, Southwest's 50% off points sale, Finnair's return to Canada with new Helsinki-Toronto flights, and the opening of JW Marriott's first Crete property bookable from 44,000 Bonvoy points per night.
