News and notes from around the interweb:
- Points.com Loyalty Wallet ending September 6 so no more account tracking or transfers between programs
- American Airlines names a new CIO to replace the inestimable Maya Leibman.
- Live Data: how full is each British Airways lounge at London Heathrow?
- Singapore Airlines testing increased free internet
- Mark Cuban famously bought an American Airlines lifetime AAirpass after selling his first company, MicroSolutions, for $6 million in 1990. After selling Broadcast.com in 1999 he bought a $40 million Gulfstream V (the single largest online purchase at the time). So I wonder if he is confused here talking about using his American Airlines flight pass to fly to Moscow, since American didn’t start Chicago – Moscow service until 2008 if I recall correctly.

- United brings back its LA – San Diego flights.
Good catch by @airmarietta and @AilevonPacific. This cut received more than its share of coverage a couple of months ago. Now, apparently, it’s back? pic.twitter.com/OXvFRLOGhT
