WSJ Your Money Briefing · Why Holding Onto Elite Airline Status Is Getting Harder · 14 Nov 2022 podcast

Whelan.

We've been talking a lot on the show about how cheap airfares are gone, with the cost of flying going up by as much as 40%.

So what do you need to know to keep your status?

And is it worth it?

We'll get some insights from our travel reporter, Jacob Passy, after the break.

It takes a lot to earn status with airlines.

Some rungs on the elite ladder require spending at least a quarter million dollars on a credit card branded with an air carrier.

Now that elite status is in for a change.

Jacob Passy is following the ups and downs of flight status for The Wall Street Journal.

And he's with me now.

Tell me about the way some carriers are raising their requirements.

What are the reasons the carriers are giving for these changes?

You've been talking to some passengers.

What are they telling you about what the changes mean for them and how are they handling it?
