🤤 Deals for food-focused travel

Good morning from balmy Mexico City — I’ve already eaten my weight (and then some) in tacos and ceviche.

But let’s jump right into our favorite travel highlights from this past week!

āœˆļø Flying Blue released its June Promo Rewards — get 25% off economy and business-class flights from North America to Europe!

šŸ¤“ Do you know which lounge was named Global Lounge of the YearĀ in the 2025 Priority Pass Excellence Awards?

šŸŽ„ Down for a leisurely, low-stress vacation? This week’s YouTube video breaks down whether you should go for a cruise or an all-inclusive resort.

šŸ† Our Favorite Pick: Eat your heart out with this 50% global award sale

Alaska Airlines has been absolutely killing it this year — lucrative partnerships, a revamped award program, and new upcoming routes to incredible destinations.

Personally? I love their Global Getaway promos.

Each quarter, Alaska releases discounted routes to destinations that all share a common theme. And this one is perhaps my favorite… FOOD šŸ˜

Honestly, food and travel? Give it to me every day, all day, anywhere, and anytime.

With that in mind, Alaska is properly boasting up to 50% discounted routes to tasty destinations like Italy, Thailand, Portugal, Mexico, and more.

Here are the details to know:

  • You have until June 30, 2025, to book your flights to these fun foodie destinations
  • Travel can take place between August 1 and November 15, 2025

And if you don’t have Alaska miles in your account, remember thatĀ until June 30, you can still transferĀ MR pointsĀ fromĀ this premium cardĀ or this food-lovers' favorite card to Hawaiian Airlines and then transfer those Hawaiian miles to Alaska.

Now go forth and taste the world!
