Is it possible to make flying so safe in the time of COVID-19 that your chances of catching the disease are 1 in a million? Delta thinks so.

We've got a heck of a show for you today! Air Canada is back on the show with us answering your questions about the new Aeroplan. The program is barely a week old but there's already plenty of great stuff to talk about. If you missed it, we had the Air Canada folks on the show back in August when they announced the new program. Here's a link to that show. Two big things to pay attention to today: Air Canada has a bit of a mini-scoop about some potential new developments right out of the gate. You'll definitely want to listen for that. And, we have a giveaway for one lucky listener. Someone is going to walk away with an Aeroplan prize pack featuring a $100 Air Canada gift card and a year of Aeroplan 50K elite status. That gives you free lounge access and a whole bunch of other cool benefits. Enter the giveaway here. If you enjoy the podcast, I hope you'll take a moment to leave us a rating.

As we look to the future of travel both in the pandemic and beyond, there are positive and negative developments. We've seen some pretty good deals being offered by airlines and hotel chains. 20% discounts on hotel gift cards were some of the best I've seen so far. Alas, that deal is gone. But, there is an easy path to decent hotel elite status just by applying for a credit card. On the bad side of the coin, Delta quietly rolled out some changes to partner awards that are hard to swallow. You're looking at a minimum of a 25% increase, with some increases being over 100%! Kyle Potter from Thrifty Traveler is here to walk us through those changes. If you enjoy the podcast, I hope you'll take a moment to leave us a rating. That helps us attract more listeners!
