TYR-DFW is only 103 miles and just over 20 minutes in the air on the 2x2 CRJ-200. There is usually no drink service, though I've had a few overachiever FA's walk down with a tray of cups of...

Why airline mile is easier to earn than Hotel point?

Hotel points are not comparable in my mind. You can burn 20 or 30k points for one night of sleep or you could suck it up and pay 75 bucks for a roof and a bed on Priceline. The opportunity cost of...

I'm not sure award travel changes are safe unless you are EXP... The fee chart states the change fee for SAAver Awards "may" be $75 - $150 per ticket (except for EXPs)

In the past you could change...

I can't make that math work, not even close. An extra 200 bucks in fare to fly Y vs. 60k miles to fly J (plus opportunity cost of not accruing miles). So you are okay with burning miles at 0.003...

Issues with "ROUND TRIP" Definition

The silver lining is that there will be a "calm before the storm." Much as AA did during CH 11, the combined entity will rely on customer loyalty to pull them through the turmoil of a merger.

Just searched a couple random days in March for LAX - NRT. Round trip prices:

I just found out that the change fee applies to EXPs as well.... Since it's the same fare class as a SAAver award, and other rules are more stringent, I think standby is a long shot. IME arguing that...

I think the white lines on the blue part are what really mess the tail up. Solid blue would be better (even with a couple stars - it's supposed to be the USA flag, right?)

I asked my friend in the USAF who is stationed there. Short answer is "no." He can't wait until the World Cup exposes to everyone what a boring place it is.
