I try to save as much money as I can on the flight so I'll have more for spending on vacations and I try to get my airline tickets as cheaply as possible. My point/question was about the airlines and how they're trying to eliminate free basic economy tickets for credit card travelers (that's my opinion and I was looking for others). I'm beginning to think it's not worth the free ticket if you cannot reserve a seat in advance and end up boarding last with the possibility of not being able to have a carry-on, which means you probably won't be able to sit with spouse. Being that I'm disabled I need an isle seat, but that will be very difficult to get if I have to wait for seating. Sorry if I offended anyone with my posts, I'll stop and move on.
