Since mid-March of this year, the 737 MAX 8 and 9 aircraft have been grounded. While there has been much written about the process and issues around the investigations, there is also confusion for many travelers as to its status. Even though it is not currently certified to fly, many travelers who are booking trips later this year may see the 737 MAX on their itineraries. While it may be listed, that does not necessarily mean you will fly on that aircraft. Each airline has their own policy as to how far in advance they will remove the 737 MAX from their schedule. Currently, most North American airlines that use this aircraft have removed it from schedules through October or November. That timeline assumes, however, that regulators do not find additional problems with the jet or its related software fixes. The FAA has declined to offer a firm timeline or even estimate when it expects to lift its grounding order for the Max. UNIGLOBE will continue to monitor the latest news and keep you apprised of any impact to your upcoming travels. |

Citi Cuts Travel Card Benefits Including Car Rental, Trip Insurance |

Do you rely on a Citi travel card for perks like insurance and lost baggage protection? You might want to take a look at your card’s newly updated benefits: Citibank is sharply reducing the travel add-ons, dropping a slew of protection benefits on all the cards that previously offered them. As of September 22, 2019, buying with most Citi cards will no longer cover car rental insurance, trip cancellation insurance, worldwide accident insurance, delay protection, baggage delay protection, and medical evacuation assistance, along with several other non-travel benefits. Here’s the full list of what’s changing: - Worldwide Car Rental Insurance
- Trip Cancellation & Interruption Protection
- Worldwide Travel Accident Insurance
- Trip Delay Protection
- Baggage Delay Protection
- Lost Baggage Protection
- Citi Price Rewind
- 90 Day Return Protection
- Roadside Assistance Dispatch Service
- Travel & Emergency Assistance
These cuts are obvious game-changers for travelers, who will undoubtedly change their pattern of credit card use in return. Travel experts are speculating that the move is due to the high costs Citi incurred by recently obtaining a lucrative Costo partnership. Maybe so, maybe not, but the reason for the change is really not relevant to travelers: If you no longer get the benefits you need, switch to one of the many cards that still offer them. |
