Travel credit cards offer points and miles rewards on your spending, which you can use toward travel-related redemptions, such as flights, hotel stays, and car rentals. You'll often earn the highest rewards rate on travel purchases with a travel credit card. However, many also offer boosted rewards on everyday purchases like groceries, gas, and more.
When you're comparing travel credit cards, it's useful to separate them into two distinct types: general travel rewards cards and co-branded airline and hotel credit cards.
With a general travel credit card, you'll have a number of flexible redemption options when you're ready to redeem your points and miles.
Travel card issuers generally have their own travel portals, like Chase Travel or American Express Travel, where you can book flights, hotels, rental cars, and more. These programs also have a number of travel transfer partners to which you can directly transfer points or miles. For example, American Express Membership Rewards points transfer to Delta SkyMiles at a rate of 1:1.
The flexibility of general travel cards means you can use your rewards to travel with different airlines or hotel brands. Each time you're ready to book, simply shop around between the portal or partners and compare the best options for your specific travel plans.

With aviation often a prohibitively costly industry for individual players without major backing, several smaller and charter carriers did not survive the spike in jet fuel prices that came at the start of 2026 following the U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran.
Major recent news in this ***** e includes the collapse of Spirit Airlines and the bankruptcy filing of Latvian flag carrier AirBaltic. Smaller carriers that shut down in 2026 include Mexican holiday airline Magnicharters, Finnish charter airline Jetflite, and most recently in September 2026, French charter carrier AirAiles.
And in Colorado, charter broker and indirect air carrier OneFlight International is reportedly pausing all flights for 30 days as a long string of financial problems catches up with it.
The company does not own any aircraft but functions as a broker, organizing chartered flights by private jet and jet card subscriptions.
A jet card is a membership in which customers book flight hours on a private plane at fixed rates. Along with fractional ownership, it is one of two main ways that passengers who fly private book their flights.

TOKYO (AP) — **** an's air force said one of its long-distance surveillance drones is believed to have crashed into the sea during a flight Tuesday off the country's northwestern coast.
There were no immediate details on the nature of the mission of the uncrewed RQ-4B aircraft, also known as Global Hawk. So far, there was no indication of foul play, but officials said the cause of the presumed crash was under investigation.
The Air Self-Defense Force said the drone had trouble connecting with a communication device about one and a half hours after taking off from the Misawa Air Base. Three minutes later, it disappeared from the radar and was last seen 50 kilometers (31 miles) off the coast of Tottori, the ASDF said.
Later Tuesday, a fighter jet and a **** an Coast Guard patrol ship spotted debris believed to be from the Global Hawk. After examining photos of the debris, the ASDF said the drone is believed to have crashed just after disappearing from the radar.
The cause of the Global Hawk's presumed crash is still under investigation, the ASDF said. There have been no reports of injury or damage related to the crash.

Wisteguens Jean Quely Charles was deported on an ICE flight originating in Louisiana, the Department of Homeland Security (Dhs) confirmed to Fox News.

Leeds United made it four unbeaten to start the Premier League campaign with a convincing 4-1 victory over Newcastle United under the lights at Elland Road.
Riding the momentum and scoring three first half goals, Noah Okafor added to the tally in the second period to shoot the Whites up to third in the top-flight standings.
After the game, Daniel Farke said: "On rare occasions even for a manager, it is a joy to watch a football game, and especially his team playing. But this was one of those rare occasions so I also enjoyed my team playing tonight.
"It was an excellent performance, really, from the first to nearly the last second, and also sadly not a clean sheet in the end. But overall, a top-class performance and I am proud of my boys.
"We wanted to press Newcastle and wanted to dominate this game. But on the other hand, you also have to be aware how much pace they have up front.

Kaley Cuoco and Tom Pelphrey have both been nominated for multiple Emmys since their romance began. Out of the two of them, Pelphrey is the only one to re-enter the running this year, but the couple has been hitting the festivities together.
Pelphrey and Cuoco have even more to celebrate this year beyond the former's Emmy nom for his performance in Task. Earlier this summer, Cuoco announced that she's expecting! In the lead-up to their family expanding — and as they wait to find out if they'll add another trophy to their collection — get the full rundown on Pelphrey and Cuoco's relationship.
Pelphrey and Cuoco have been together since 2022. They were set up by their shared manager and met at the Ozark premiere. Pelphrey earned his first Primetime Emmy nomination for his role in the Netflix series that year, while Cuoco received her third for The Flight Attendant.
Recalling their first meeting, Cuoco told USA Today, "I heard his voice, and I turned around, and it was like my life was over, or just starting. It hit me. It was love at first sight. We were immediately connected. I do feel like I've known him my whole life, but I wasn't ready for him. We're ready to build a life together."
In August 2024, the Hollywood power couple announced their engagement. They have yet to officially become husband and wife.

DUBAI, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways said on Monday that its ‌passenger-carrying capacity is running above year-earlier ‌levels as Gulf carriers rebound from disruption caused by the Iran war, with strong demand expected heading into the winter travel season, its chief executive told Reuters.
"We are back on ‌track," CEO Antonoaldo ⁠Neves said in an interview, noting that current Available Seat Kilometres - ⁠the industry's standard measure of passenger-carrying capacity - was currently 15 to 17% higher than a year ago.
"Flights are full, full, full," he said, ‌adding that load factor, which measures how well an airline is filling available seats, was at 92% in August while the airline is targeting an 87% plus load factor ‌for the remainder of the year.
The Iran war affected travel earlier this year, pushing fuel prices ‌higher and disrupting flights in the Middle East and beyond. Middle Eastern carriers, some of the world's biggest, have seen their networks upended ‌by the conflict, but have gradually resumed their activity.

With **** ignments that include calling three of tennis' four major tournaments and ESPN's top college football game weekly through the playoffs, Chris Fowler readily admits he's living the dream.
His weekend travel itinerary, however, hardly seemed the stuff of dreams.
After calling Friday's second U.S. Open semifinal, he was on a private flight that landed in Austin around 3 a.m. Saturday. Following a scant amount of sleep, there was a late-morning production meeting before calling Saturday night's matchup between No. 1 Ohio State and No. 4 Texas on ABC, arguably the top non-conference matchup in college football this season.
Once Saturday's game ends, it's back on a plane to New York for Sunday's 1 p.m. CT men's final on ABC between Alexander Zverez and Blake Shelton, with the latter trying to become the first American man to win a major since Andy Roddick at the 2003 U.S, Open.
"They are my two favorite sports and I get to call the championship events in them," Fowler told the Houston Chronicle on Saturday afternoon during a brief respite in Austin. "So that's a dream job. I live in the dream I had since I'm 10 years old."

ATLANTA — Tennessee freshman quarterback Faizon Brandon will try for a strong sequel to his debut in leading the 18th-ranked Vols against Georgia Tech.
Tennessee (1-0) and Georgia Tech (0-1) play Sept. 12 (7 p.m. ET, ESPN) at Bobby Dodd Stadium.
It's a good road test, especially for Brandon, who accounted for five touchdowns in 56-9 win over Furman at home. And defensive coordinator Jim Knowles will dig deeper into his scheme to stop the Yellow Jackets.
The Vols will get a boost from the return of All-SEC linebacker Arion Carter and starting center Sam Pendleton, who were suspended for the Furman game.
Carter was suspended by the NCAA because he accepted a $427 flight from his agent to an NFL pre-draft training facility, whice he repaid. Pendleton was suspended by Tennessee for violation of team rules because he was arrested in May on charges of driving under the influence.

Amal Clooney met with Greece's president Konstantinos Tasoulas on September 10.
She wore a bright red Bottega Veneta skirt suit for the outing.
The lawyer previously wore the same look in 2017.
Amal Clooney certainly knows how to put together an unforgettable ensemble—whether she's walking the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival, meeting with global politicians, or simply catching a flight. And she's been doing all three this week. After a very stylish series of appearances in Venice with husband George Clooney, the lawyer spent a few days in Athens, Greece with her mother journalist Baria Alamuddin. On September 10, Amal met with the country's president, Konstantinos Tasoulas—and, naturally, she pulled together another pitch-perfect look for the occasion.

NEW YORK (AP) — Cody Bellinger hit a three-run homer in the second inning off rookie Nolan McLean, and the New York Yankees beat the New York Mets 6-4 on Friday night.
Ben Rice also homered as the Yankees won for the 17th time in 24 games and moved a season-high 23 games over .500 on a night the team remembered the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
Rookie Spencer Jones added an RBI single in the first inning and Ryan McMahon hit an RBI single in the eighth as the Yankees remained three games behind Tampa Bay in the AL East and moved 5 1/2 ahead of Boston for the first American League wild card.
Carlos Rodón (6-3) allowed two runs and three hits in a season-high 6 1/3 innings. The left-hander notched two of his eight strikeouts on slugger Juan Soto, who heard boos from Yankee fans before each at-bat.
Bellinger homered after catching the ceremonial first pitch from Brielle Saracini, whose father Victor Saracini was the pilot on United Airlines Flight 175, which was flown into the South Tower of the World Trade Center.

NEW YORK (AP) — Twenty-five years ago, Brielle Saracini was 10 years old and trying to cope with losing her father, Victor Saracini, the pilot on United flight 175, which was taken over by the 9/11 hijackers and crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center.
Spurred on by a friend, she wrote a letter to Derek Jeter, met the Yankees captain at Yankee Stadium and formed a lifelong friendship.
On Friday, as New York commemorated the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks, Saracini threw out the ceremonial first pitch with Jeter watching from the mound before the Yankees hosted the crosstown Mets.
"I remember just talking about anything and everything and anything that kind of came through my mind that day and you just made it so comfortable and I remember just feeling normal for a day, which was hard to do," Saracini said while sitting next to Jeter at a news conference. "The odds were stacked against me that day but I remember just taking a minute and just having normal conversations and just feeling like a kid."
Jeter remembers trying his best in a tough situation.

NEW YORK, N.Y. — How can pain and joy, love and heartbreak, coexist, side by side, year after year? How could the worst day of your life lead to the best? How do you rebuild a life shattered in an instant?
One ballgame at a time, as it turns out.
On Friday night, the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Brielle Saracini and her husband Sean McGuire provided the highlight of an emotional pregame ceremony when they threw out the game's ceremonial first pitch. Both 37, they represent both the tragedy and the resolve of 9/11, the devastation of loss and the strength of resilience. Brielle's father Victor was the captain of United Flight 175, the plane which impacted the South Tower … where Sean's father, Patrick, worked on the 84th floor.
The two were just 10 years old when their fathers died. They met two years later at Camp Better Days, a camp established to help children who had lost a parent on 9/11, and were married on September 9, 2017. And on Friday night, they walked out on the field together — Brielle wearing a Derek Jeter jersey, Sean bravely wearing a Mike Piazza Mets one — showing that joy can come from even the most horrifying of days.
Brielle Saracini and Sean McGuire share a special moment in the Bronx.

As kids, they both lost their fathers on 9/11. They met in 2003, became friends first, then fell in love.

They married in 2017.

GANDER, Newfoundland (AP) — Standing in the town that sheltered thousands of stranded Americans after the Sept. 11 attacks, former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien marked the 25th anniversary Friday with a pointed message for the United States: "Never mistake our generosity for weakness."
The 92-year-old former leader, who was prime minister at the time of the attacks, drew a standing ovation after telling his "American friends" that Canadians may be tolerant and kind but "we bow to no one." U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra rose afterward and hugged him.
"I say that not in anger, but as one friend to another," Chrétien said. "Friends need to be honest with each other."
The unusually blunt remarks came during a solemn ceremony honoring the nearly 3,000 people killed in New York, at the Pentagon and aboard Flight 93, and remembering Gander's extraordinary response to the attacks.
Gander, Newfoundland opened its arms to nearly 6,600 airline passengers diverted there when the U.S. government shut down airspace during 9/11.

Mark Wahlberg is reflecting on one of the most haunting "what ifs" of his on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. The actor was almost one of the people aboard the plane that crashed into the World Trade Center's North Tower.
Mark was almost aboard the Flight 11 (@ Getty)
The Father Stu star was originally booked on American Airlines Flight 11, which was headed to Los Angeles, but ultimately hijacked on September 11, 2001. Wahlberg had changed his plans and traveled to Toronto instead, narrowly avoiding a flight that killed all 92 people aboard.
On Friday, he shared an Instagram video of an American flag blowing in the wind, writing in the caption, "This anniversary is always a gut punch of emotions…words just can't say it all."
That near miss has followed Wahlberg for years, particularly after comments he made in a 2012 Men's Journal interview sparked backlash. When he was asked what might have happened if he had been on the plane with his children, Wahlberg said, "There would have been a lot of blood in that first-class cabin" and suggested he would have been able to help land the plane safely.
