✈️ United PlusPoints changes: upgrades on award tickets are coming, but dynamic PlusPoints pricing is on the horizon—good news and bad news for United elites.

🇪🇺 EU entry system rollout: the new electronic entry setup is starting to go live, and early reports suggest… complications.

🍵 And then… matcha. Richard goes into why matcha is everywhere (and why he's over it).
