i would hate to pay full fare since u can all agree its very expensive! like 6-700$ each expensive! i would rather go to Italy at that price (low season)...
Plus to be honest, with all the hard savings we're doing lately (finaly trying to get that dream home we wanted), not much spending limits for these kind of tiks.
Oh, the hardships of the middle class family!
any pointers, advice and freebie ways to accumulate miles?
thanks
not knowing your home airport, but knowing the short timeline before new year's (at least in the points world)...i'd guess it's going to be very tough to a) accumulate the points in time and b) find seats for four people, especially for new year's travel.
If you just want to save money and lock in some seats...sign up for travel cash back card and you can save a few hundred. cap one aspire, bmo world elite travel, scotia amex gold...they each offer a few hundred of savings.
