... in my town of West Hollywood, California, I've uncovered a practice where some City employees were going out of their way to take certain airlines, usually at HIGHER cost than necessary, to earn FF miles. I have no problem with that if I'm paying for the ticket, but people traveling with the Public's money shouldn't be allowed to do this. ...
most coach air prices are about the same if purchased 21 days or more in advance. if the slow moving government cannot plan far enough ahead, the traveler should not be forced to take the low price cattle call airline because some idiot couldnt plan ahead. i cannot imagine anything in west hollywood that would need such prompt attention that it could not be put off for a month
