alright, so it still takes 16 credits or 20,000 MR pts to fly on shouthwest though, correct? Also, how much tax should I usually expect to pay on a FF ticket? Like 50$? Cause if I add that into the mix, I am not doing as well as I thought I was. I am new to this so bear with me;-) However, as long as I redeem my pts for emergency "walk up" tickets or ticets like 2 weeks in advance I am still coming out very good, right?
