Welcome to Miles and Points Daily! I'm Lucas, and I've got some exciting news for all you points enthusiasts out there. Grab your favorite travel mug, because we're diving into today's hottest miles and points updates.

First up, there's an incredible opportunity to try American Airlines' new Flagship Suites. As reported by View from the Wing, you can book their new Boeing 787-9 business class suites between Chicago and London this summer for just 55,000 miles one-way. The new suites feature doors and enhanced bulkhead rows, plus improved ViaSat WiFi. This is an absolute steal for crossing the Atlantic in style.

Speaking of Capital One, there's a special offer ending this week on the Venture card. What makes this card special? You earn 2 miles per dollar on all purchases, making it an excellent choice for everyday spending. If you're interested in applying, check out our link in the shownotes.

In hotel news, IHG One Rewards has launched their Pick Your Points promotion for two thousand and twenty-five. You can earn 2,000 bonus points every two nights or 8,000 points every four nights. Make sure to register before your next stay.

Some interesting airline updates: Qatar Airways is reportedly planning a massive Boeing aircraft order of up to 200 jets, which could significantly expand their route network. Meanwhile, JetBlue passengers at JFK's Terminal 5 will now need to head to the Howard Beach station for rideshare pickups - definitely something to keep in mind if you're flying JetBlue from New York.

Here's a quick tip: if you've got Flying Blue miles, you can now redeem them on Air Tahiti flights. While this opens up some interesting routing possibilities in French Polynesia, make sure to check the redemption values carefully before booking.
