Welcome aboard this week's Plane News Weekly, your Sunday roundup of airline news, loyalty updates, route launches, flight deals and Plane Honest travel experiences. This week got me thinking... Is luxury travel becoming more expensive whilst simultaneously becoming more accessible? I've just returned from Sardinia where I stayed at a supposedly five-star Hilton resort. I used Hilton Honors points to slash the cost of the stay from almost £2,000 to around £1,000 by buying

Ultra-low-cost airline Wizz Air has received approval to operate transatlantic flights between the United Kingdom and the United States. Yes, really.
