Discover Airlines and Spafax have announced the launch of StoryWonder onboard. The AI-powered children's storytelling platform is now live for Discover Airlines’ passengers, giving flying families and children a personalized story experience that begins at home and continues through the airport, the cabin and the destination. Passengers with a valid Discover Airlines booking receive a link to StoryWonder during online check-in and can begin creating stories before they travel. 

Scandinavian airline SAS has confirmed that the delayed launch of its Copenhagen-Mumbai route will take place on 1 October. The carrier had originally planned to start the route on 2 June but had to postpone the launch due to a delay in receiving final approval from Indian authorities. In a statement, SAS said that “all operational and practical preparations are in place” for the Copenhagen-Mumbai route, which will mark SAS’s first flights to India in 17 years. 

For years, airline loyalty programs have steadily become less predictable. Fixed award charts have disappeared, elite status has become increasingly tied to spending, and mileage prices for the same flight can vary dramatically with demand. Against that backdrop, American Airlines' AAdvantage program has quietly taken a different approach, preserving valuable partner awards and stable elite requirements even as Delta SkyMiles and United MileagePlus have moved further toward dynamic pricing.

Members of the Abu Dhabi carrier's loyalty scheme can now spend their miles across Starlux’s growing network, with full reciprocal earning to follow in October. Etihad Guest members now have another option for using their miles, thanks to a new partnership with Taiwanese carrier Starlux Airlines and its Cosmile loyalty programme. Starting 11 August, members of Etihad’s frequent flyer programme can use their miles to book Business or Economy seats on Starlux flights. 

FlightPath3D and business aviation connectivity provider Gogo are extending its long-standing partnership with FlightPath3D’s moving map now installed on more than 1,000 aircraft equipped with the Gogo Vision inflight entertainment system worldwide. The companies began collaborating in 2020. The renewed relationship builds on that growth and positions FlightPath3D as a key provider of passenger mapping technology within the Gogo Vision ecosystem.
