Free Starlink Wi-Fi on Lufthansa starts Aug 19: book now for free fast internet.

Lufthansa Group launches Starlink on a single Airbus A320neo on 19 August 2026, with free high-speed internet for all Miles & More members and Travel ID users across every cabin. No status required—just a free membership. The service bans voice calls, video calls, and live streams, and requires headphones for audio/video, based on passenger surveys. This replaces the old paid, slow FlyNet and works gate-to-gate.

the play

Join Miles & More for free and book a flight on that Lufthansa A320neo from August 19 to enjoy complimentary Starlink Wi-Fi with no calling or streaming distractions.

Get one play like this every day.

Turkish Airlines 30% off Asia awards: dead links, but the deal is live if you book directly.

Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles is offering 30% off economy award tickets on select routes between Istanbul and 24 Asian destinations, including Beijing, Seoul, Mumbai, and Nairobi. The discount applies to one-way or round-trip promotional awards, but only on Turkish Airlines metal (no codeshare or Star Alliance partners). Travel must occur between December 1, 2026 and February 28, 2027, and tickets must be issued by August 20, 2026. Note that the English-language links the airline promoted are broken, so you must navigate directly to the Turkish Airlines website to book. The deal is only useful if you can route through Istanbul, and seats are limited.

the play

Book by August 20, 2026 on the Turkish Airlines website for a 30% Miles discount on economy awards to/from Istanbul and select Asian destinations, but only if you can use Istanbul as your hub.

Three new Volaris routes to US: book before dates drop, not prices.

Volaris is adding Guadalajara to Atlanta, Guadalajara to Washington Dulles, and Puebla to Chicago O'Hare, but launch dates and frequencies are unannounced. The ultra-low-cost carrier targets VFR and leisure travelers with nonstop service from its Guadalajara base and Puebla. With no sale page live yet, the play is to monitor Volaris' booking engine for these routes to open and jump on introductory pricing before the fares stabilize.

the play

Set alerts on Volaris' site for GDL-ATL, GDL-IAD, and PBC-ORD and book within the first week of launch to catch any initial low fares.
