WASHINGTON — United Airlines said on Tuesday it plans to end service in October to New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport if the Federal Aviation Administration does not grant the air carrier additional flights. United is flying just twice daily to San Francisco and Los Angeles from JFK, the busiest New York-area airport, after resuming service in 2021. United in 2015 struck a long-term deal to lease 24 year-round slots at JFK to Delta Air Lines as it ended JFK service to concentrate at its nearby Newark hub in northern New Jersey. In June, the FAA approved United’s request to temporarily cut about 50 daily summer departures from its Newark airport hub to address congestion, representing 12% of United’s 425 daily flights at Newark. United is the dominant carrier at Newark, operating 69% of flights.

I'd never been a heavy credit card user, and mainly used debit cards or cash on most of my everyday purchases. After I got my first airline credit card, the United℠ Explorer Card from Chase, I can't see the value in using my debit card, or even my cash-back cards, anymore. I used my Chase debit card all through college, and didn't get my first credit card, a cash-back card, until well after starting my first job. But, after opening my first airline credit card, I realized just how much value I was missing out on. I'm constantly asked how I'm able to travel so much, and my first answer is always that I maximize credit card rewards.
