Turkish Airlines fifth-freedom Sydney-Singapore awards: book from 26 October.

The Cape Town EDITION starts taking reservations for stays from Nov 24, 2026, with cheapest nights at 108,000 points per night next spring and summer (Southern Hemisphere fall/winter). Pricier nights from 131,000 to 146,000 points are available November through March, but the hotel is completely unavailable for three weeks over Christmas and New Year's. New hotel openings often face delays, so booking November or December dates carries risk. Platinum elites don't get complimentary breakfast at EDITION properties, but the Bonvoy Brilliant's 85,000-point free night certificate (toppable with 25,000 more points) can cover a cheaper night.

The August 2026 Flying Blue Promo Rewards are live with 25% off standard award pricing across Air France and KLM, but no Canadian routes are included this round. Premium economy to seven US and Mexico destinations — New York, Washington, San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas, Houston, and Mexico City — all price at 30,000 miles each way. Economy from Europe to Phoenix, Seattle, Dallas, Los Angeles, and others goes for 18,750 miles, while short-haul business from Paris or Amsterdam starts at 18,750 miles. Travel is valid through January 31, 2027, including the winter holidays, but you must book by August 31, 2026.
