Hey there, miles and points enthusiasts! Welcome to another episode of Miles & Points Daily. I'm Lucas, and I've got some exciting updates from the world of travel rewards to share with you today.

First up, there's a great new lounge access opportunity at LAX. Virgin Atlantic's brand new Clubhouse is now accessible through Priority Pass with a 35 dollar co-pay. While that might seem steep, Virgin Atlantic lounges are known for their premium experience, so this could be worth checking out if you're passing through LAX.

Some fantastic news for American Airlines premium cabin passengers - they're finally fixing one of the most annoying policies in the industry. You'll no longer have to give up your headphones an hour before landing! That means you can enjoy gate-to-gate entertainment without interruption. It's a small change that makes a big difference in the passenger experience.

For Delta SkyMiles members, there's a new partnership to tell you about. Delta has officially launched its collaboration with Uber, replacing their previous Lyft partnership. You can now earn SkyMiles on both Uber rides and Uber Eats orders. While the earning rates aren't particularly exciting, it's still a nice way to rack up some extra miles on rides you'd be taking anyway.

Here's a super valuable tip for United MileagePlus members - if you're having trouble finding Star Alliance award seats, try switching your country setting to Canada. This simple trick can unlock hidden availability that might not show up otherwise.

For those interested in credit card offers, the Capital One Venture X Business card has just launched with a massive welcome bonus. You can earn up to 750,000 miles, though there are some significant spending requirements to keep in mind. As always, you can apply through our link in the shownotes if you're interested.

Before we wrap up, here's a quick tip - keep an eye on Delta's latest flash sale, with flights to Taiwan available from just 37,400 miles round-trip, and Australia from 42,000 miles. These are some incredibly competitive rates for long-haul travel.

And now, a word from our sponsor: Looking for the best award flights? Use AwardTravelFinder.com to search availability across Qatar Airways, British Airways, Cathay Pacific and more. Try it for free with our link in the shownotes.
