Top stories of the week

by Kyle Olsen, Points & Miles Reporter

I flew to Europe a few weeks ago after finding a one-way economy-class ticket from Los Angeles to London for 33,000 AAdvantage miles. I wanted to see how American Airlines' economy product stacked up, especially considering there’s been lots of talk about the airline’s cabin upgrades.

Overall, it was a mixed experience with a smooth check-in and boarding and decent seat comfort, but there's room for improvement in food quality and onboard amenities. Stay tuned for the full flight review, which is coming soon!

Speaking of aviation, most of our top stories last week involved new route announcements, which is exciting if you are planning an upcoming trip.

Here’s a look at some of the week’s top stories that you might have missed:

Enjoy your Sunday, and we’ll be back tomorrow with the latest travel news!
