United Airlines Is Handing Out Silver Elite Status—Breaks Precedent In Loyalty Strategy
United Airlines is quietly giving away Silver elite status—a dramatic shift from traditional airline loyalty strategy—by pairing it directly with targeted credit card offers, signaling a bold new approach that could change how frequent flyer perks are earned industry-wide.

Its new Airo trains will debut on the Cascades this summer and East Coast in 2027, becoming the workhorse of Amtrak's fleet by replacing Amfleets that date to the 1970s.

El Paso with the NOTAM, unsurprisingly
Note that the restrictions are up to only 18,000 ft. You will still see aircraft fly over the region without issue, assuming this doesn’t change

I’m typically a winter person, but this season has me missing NYC summers.
As gross as the Subway can be (Union Square regular here), I miss being able to take late evening walks, go out relatively comfortably, outdoor city activities, etc.
