✈️ British Airways Cuts Water Bottles, Chase Sapphire Reserve Fee Jumps to $795, Emirates Transfers Resume

British Airways has removed individual water bottles from economy and premium economy cabins on long-haul flights as part of a cost-cutting trial, forcing passengers to rely on crew-poured water from paper cups. The Chase Sapphire Reserve annual fee is increasing to $795 with new enhancements including access to Chase Sapphire Lounges, while documents reveal LAX lounge meal budgets of just $8.40 per person. After weeks of suspension, Emirates Skywards points transfers are back online for major programs like Chase, Amex, and Citi. Other updates include American Airlines suspending its Philadelphia-Doha route due to safety concerns, Capital One opening its flagship 24/7 JFK lounge, and a new Marriott-Uber partnership offering up to 2,500 bonus points for account linking.
