Occasionally it is worth stepping back from the story itself and addressing how and why I cover travel news in the first place on Live And Let’s Fly.
First, let’s be clear about what happened in my piece. I identified the report as unverified from the start, labeled it as rumor, and explicitly warned readers to take it with a grain of salt. I also explained the context and clearly stated that it was unconfirmed. That is not reporting something as fact. That is responsible reporting on a plausible industry rumor with enough specificity to merit discussion.
Second, unlike sites that simply repost reddit threads as headlines, the intent of my article was analysis, not simple amplification. My readers want a thoughtful breakdown of what might be coming, how it fits into broader loyalty program trends, and what it could mean if true. That analysis is rooted in years of covering airline and hotel loyalty programs, not in blind repetition of internet chatter.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
