    As frequent travelers are painfully aware, airlines are taking a massive hit during the global coronavirus crisis. A recent study shows the airline industry experiencing a two-decade low in traffic, a staggering drop that may only worsen.

    The sweeping effects target carriers and their support systems; only increased travel and a potential government bailout may save the struggling industry.

    In effort to entice flyers locally, United Airlines has announced a series of crucial changes to its current incentives. United customers can make changes to, or cancel, any travel they have booked through the end of the year without fees if they act by April 30.

    Participants in the carrier’s MileagePlus program will see their current MileagePlus Premier status extended through January 2022. All MileagePlus Premier members will retain the status they earned for 2020, through January 2022, according to the airline.

    Here are the benefits United is extending to travelers, per the airline.

    Easier qualifications
    United is making it easier to qualify for the Premier title by reducing thresholds for qualification by 50 percent for each status level, to make reaching an even higher status tier easier for the 2021 year.

    Upgrade, upgrade, upgrade
    The airline is also increasing the ability for Premier members to use their upgrade benefits. The airline is offering a six-month extension for all PlusPoints that are set to expire on or before January 31, 2021. Those who travel internationally will enjoy the perks of expended availability of Skip Waitlist, which is an upgrade option that allows Premier 1K members to confirm upgrades at the time of booking — to significantly more international long-haul flights.

    Annual membership and subscription benefits expirations will be extended by six months. This United Club memberships purchased directly from United and purchased subscriptions for Economy Plus, wi-fi packages, and checked bags.

    No fees, please
    Electronic travel certificates (ETCs) will be extended and redeposit fees for members who booked travel using award miles will be waived. ETCs will be valid for two years from the time of booking.

    The airline is also waiving all redeposit fees for members who have flights booked through May 31, 2020, and will be waiving fees for all members who cancel their flights at least 30 days before departure for the remainder of 2020.

    Benefits in the cards
    United is increasing the maximum number of premier qualifying points (PQPs) United Explorer and United Club credit card holders can earn through card spend toward status in 2021. A promotion that doubles the maximum PQPs for United Explorer credit cardmembers and quadruples the maximum PQPs for United Club cardmembers will run from May 1 through December 31, 2020.

    The Omni PGA Frisco Resort now has a Dude Perfect-branded suite.

    Dude Perfect fans now have their shot to live like the sports-comedy group sensation: The Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa has partnered with Frisco-based Dude Perfect to debut a themed hotel suite packed with sports games, branded décor, and interactive activities overlooking the Fields Ranch golf course.

    According to a release, the new Dude Perfect Suite is now open at the resort and available for bookings, but only for a limited time.

    Located on the third floor, the suite includes a balcony overlooking the 10th hole at Fields Ranch East and is designed to accommodate six to eight guests. The setup, designed for families, includes one king bed, four twin bunk beds, and a pull-out sofa, with separate spaces geared toward both kids and adults.

    The room leans heavily into the Dude Perfect "brand" - yes, there are spots for trick-shots. Sporty features include:

    • AstroTurf accents in the living room and bunk bedroom
    • A PlayStation gaming setup with leather gaming chairs
    • Mini basketball hoops and magnetic dart boards
    • Sports challenge games and soft-launch toys inspired by Dude Perfect stunts
    • A flexible game table for family activities
    • Sneaker-themed wallpaper in the bunk room
    • Selfie backdrops and oversized wall graphics
    • Dude Perfect-branded décor including throw pillows, towels, water bottles, and logo installations
    • In-room merchandise available for purchase, including hats, books, games, and water bottles

    “This partnership gave us the opportunity to create an experience that feels larger than life for kids without compromising the level of comfort and quality parents expect from Omni PGA Frisco Resort,” say Jeff Smith, vice president and managing director at Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa, in the release. ”Collaborating with Dude Perfect, a brand that shares our roots in sports and community, allows us to reimagine the family getaway in a bold and memorable way.”

    Dude Perfect, founded in 2009 by five college friends (Tyler Toney, Cory Cotton, Coby Cotton, Garrett Hilbert, and Cody Jones) who built a following through trick-shot videos and sports content, has grown into one of the largest sports entertainment brands in the world. Their YouTube channel has become the biggest sports account on YouTube, with 62 million subscribers, and the group has garnered more than 18 billion views across platforms, with featured celebrities and athletes like Steph Curry, Serena Williams, Luka Doncic, Caitlin Clark, and CeeDee Lamb.

    They've since expanded into a diversified media company encompassing video content, popular simulcasts for professional sports (like the NFL on Amazon), a best-selling toy in Walmart, and live tours. They also recently helped develop a construction-themed theme park in Grapevine.

    "Partnering with Omni gives us the opportunity to bring the Dude Perfect version of sports, play, and competition for families to enjoy in the real world," says Andrew Yaffe, CEO of Dude Perfect. "Omni shares our belief that the best entertainment is interactive, epic, and built for families. Together, we’re creating something that brings the Dude Perfect experience to fans in a new way."

    The Dude Perfect Suite package is available through December 2027 and includes breakfast and a resort credit for registered guests. The shot to live like a Dude won't come cheap for most folks: According to the website, rates start around $1,200 per night.
