Loyalty Points Fell, Airport Data Leaked, Holidays Cost More
Three unrelated September stories, each one quietly changing what you actually receive for your money or your data.

And the cost of a shoulder-season holiday moved in a direction most travellers would not expect. None of these changes were hidden. None were explained in full before they took effect.

The shift
Three organisations changed what you actually receive this month.
A loyalty devaluation, a confirmed data breach and a shifting travel market look unrelated on the surface. This brief looks at what each one means if you hold a Flying Blue account, have used Manchester Airports Group's lounges, parking or Wi-Fi, or are planning a September or October trip — specifically, for Women Who Move.
