Here’s a change that I don’t personally mind (based on my own consumer behavior), but that’s objectively negative…
Up until now, that partner award booking fee has been $12.50 per passenger per direction. However, Atmos Rewards has updated its website to reflect that this fee will be increasing to $20 for bookings made as of July 1, 2026.
So that’s a 60% increase in the fee, and that can really add up, when you consider it’s both per direction and per person. If you’re two people traveling roundtrip, you’re looking at $45 in fees currently, and with this change, you’d be looking at $80 in fees.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
