The main point of this post is a simple path to Radisson VIP (complimentary breakfast for two and room upgrades):

Almost any airline or hotel status ➡️ Club Avolta Platinum ➡️ Radisson VIP

If airport spend also gets you a discount and a few points or miles, even better.

Club Avolta is the global travel-retail and dining loyalty program from Swiss-listed Avolta AG (formerly Dufry AG). Spend at Avolta-operated or partner shops and restaurants while you travel (airports, ports, stations, and similar) and you get member prices, earn points, and move up the tiers for larger discounts and extra perks.

When I travel, the purple Club Avolta posters at Canadian and U.S. airports are hard to miss. After you download the app, enter an airport code and you can see the discounts and perks Club Avolta offers there.
