January 31 Update: Air Canada to get rid of plastic stir sticks, Stream Apple Music on AA flights, IHG Rewards Club redemption rates for Regent Hotels

 

Starting sometime this summer Air Canada will being replace their plastic stir sticks with bamboo ones. The company is looking at ways to curtail waste and they state this is "a move that will save 35 million plastic stir sticks annually – enough if laid end-to-end to join Halifax and Vancouver."

Yesterday we brought you some news on American Express' Centurion Lounges and earlier in the month we mentioned how several locations were closing for renovations. The good news is the Miami location is now open for business again! You can access this lounge with a Canadian issued Platinum Card or Centurion Card. (Source DoC)

Starting tomorrow if you are flying on American Airlines flights within the U.S. you will be able to stream Apple Music at no extra cost. (Source Apple)
