Your next layover could be a whole vacation. 👀✈️
Flying through Panama City? Instead of rushing to your connection, you could turn your stopover into a few days exploring Panama — from the Panama Canal to the city's food scene and historic neighborhoods.
Would you add a few extra days to your trip to explore somewhere new? 👇

The key is selecting “Panama Stopover” on @CopaAirlines before you buy your ticket!

🚨 A fire has reportedly broken out at Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport, with unconfirmed reports of a terminal being evacuated. Flights were still operating as of the last few minutes, according to flight tracking data. If you’re flying out of IAH tonight, check your airline’s app before you go.
An airport lounge where you play video games for an hour? Yes, really. 🎮
Chris had a long layover at JFK and finally tried Gameway in Terminal 8. Swipe your @prioritypass, and you get:
🕹️ 1 hour on Xbox, PlayStation, or PC
🍿 A snack and a non-alcoholic drink, OR one alcoholic drink
⚡ Fast Wi-Fi and comfy gaming chairs
It’s a great way to escape the terminal on a long layover.
Heads up: not every Priority Pass membership includes Gameway. Check your card’s benefits before you go.
Gameway has locations in JFK Terminals 5 and 8, plus other airports around the U.S.

With colder temperatures and shorter days just around the corner, now is the perfect time to lock in a winter getaway to a warmer, sunnier destination.

When you've figured out a plan, remember to book direct and check the offers page to see if you can save money or add perks to your stay!

A lounge for gamers. A Ritz-Carlton on points. And the question every points collector eventually asks: Is business class actually worth the hassle? ✈️
This week, Chris finds a Priority Pass gaming lounge at JFK and books an $850-a-night Ritz-Carlton in Orlando for $0 out of pocket. Katie shares her Delta Premium Select flights to and from Athens, and why one row made a huge difference.
Then the big debate: when Japan award space is this hard to find, should you just book premium economy and be done with it?
Plus, a listener asks whether transferring Amex points to Hilton ever makes sense.
