This Week At The Lounge: January 28, 2017

Hello Readers. We are already at the end of the first month of the year, and we are back after a two-day break. I’ve been up to my ears with work, so I did appreciate a couple of days away from work or miles and points to be spending some time hosting close relatives. We took the opportunity to go and hog around town, and also hired a car from Myles to pop out of town briefly and get a meal at Sunny da Dhaba in Lonavala. But the fun and games are over and we are now racing against time to catch up with work.

Top Stories

Here are the top stories for the week for you to catch up:

Vistara is in the search for more elite members and they have been offering a Vistara Platinum Status Match, which comes with free elite status for 15 months for doing nothing.

On the other hand, Jet Airways is piloting a program to use your Aadhar cards to get in touch with you, and also perhaps allow airport access without having to interact with a security forces guard everytime.

Air India is considering a plan to make their First Class Great Again. I’m sure it takes an Executive Order to shut it down, but it takes a long tendering process to make it Great Again!
