What I’d Love to See Chase Do With 5/24 Chase frequently won't approve new credit cards for most customers that have had 5 or more new accounts in the last 24 months. That's informally known as the '5/24 rule'. This doesn't apply to all of their cards, but Chase's President of Co-brands tells me that we can expect that eventually it will. But there's a better way to meet their goals -- and ours.

This passenger wasn't going to accept either constraint of physics as he pushed, prodded, and shoved.

The Department of Transportation's Inspector General found problems at the FAA's safety oversight at American. Their report found concerns raised by the airline's pilots union going unaddressed for a year and a half, suggesting that "FAA's oversight office for American Airlines lacked objectivity in its review and did not respond to concerns about unqualified pilots and unsafe conditions during maintenance verification flights."

Yet the former Prime Minister of Pakistan chose not to fly PIA for his return to the country, preferring Etihad's business class instead. No doubt he's well aware that PIA is the worst airline in the world. If you're going to get arrested, you want to be well-rested.

Traditionally a connection on a domestic award ticket had to be under 4 hours, with longer connections 'breaking the fare' and causing an itinerary to price as two awards. Now connections of up to 18 hours are permitted on domestic awards.

No one pays list prices. Roughly speaking you can usually assume that airlines pay about half of list pricing. Airbus has taken over marketing the C series and now they're 'Airbus A220s'. The first sale they've made is to JetBlue for 60 planes and to get that done they were reportedly willing to knock 72% off of list prices.
