American Airlines is tapping into secondary European markets with new routes to destinations that are growing increasingly popular with travelers, such as Iceland, Budapest, and Prague.

It's becoming easier for travelers on many airlines to use frequent flyer miles. That's the good news. But many airlines are only making the cheapest award tickets available on flights where the cash fare is low. In many cases, that means airline miles aren't as valuable as before.

New, heartier options are coming to American's airport lounges while at United, in-flight meal service is being reduced.

It's hard to know what to make of this. There could be something there, or the inspector general's office could just be changing the scope of its audit of the FAA to placate several members of Congress.

American Airlines has the value of your loyalty down to a science. But can that data prevent elites from defecting to other carriers?

American Airlines knows a lot about its frequent flyers. Now it wants to use that data to improve revenue. That's sound strategy.
