20% Off Award Flights to Europe and whats in my travel wallet!

In this Newsletter:✈️ 20% Off Virgin Atlantic Award Flights ⭐️ MGM Marriott Partnership Details 💳 What's In My Travel Wallet ✈️ New Airport Lounge at LGA ❄️ Park Hyatt Niseko 20% Off Virgin Atlantic Award FlightsVirgin Atlantic is offering a 20% discount on award flights for economy and business class tickets.
With the 20% discount, the points price might be low, but taxes and fees are really high if you're flying in business class from the U.S. to Europe. For flights from Europe to the U.S., taxes and fees are slightly lower. However, according to Spencer from the Points Wire, there is a way to reduce them even more. If you include a connecting flight from a European city other than London, you can save close to $300 on taxes and fees. Instead of paying $788 in taxes and fees to fly directly from London Heathrow to New York JFK, you can pay $494 for a flight from Amsterdam to London Heathrow to New York JFK. Although it is a slightly better deal, the taxes and fees are still quite high. If you cannot find any other options or award space, it might be worth considering. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide whether this promotion is worth it or not.
MGM Marriott Partnership DetailsWe finally have more information about what the MGM Rewards and Marriott Bonvoy partnership looks like! Status Match MGM Rewards to Marriott
Unfortunately, Marriott Bonvoy status will NOT match to MGM rewards Benefits Marriott Bonvoy members will receive benefits at MGM properties. You can see the full list here. Spoiler alert — it’s not as good as when MGM was partnering with Hyatt. Only Marriott Ambassador status, which is Marriott’s highest status, will get resort fees waived and complimentary parking. My Overall Thoughts Overall, it’s disappointing. Marriott status won’t be matched over to the MGM status, and most won’t be able to get complimentary parking or resort fees waived at MGM properties because it requires Marriott top tier ambassador status. Wish they would bring back the Hyatt partnership because the perks and benefits were wayyy better.
