Summary:
January 2023
7 trips to school, 13 flights (9 WN, 3 AS, 1 UA), used SDC 9 times.
BART: $16.15
Airport Parking: $21.00
Gas: $204.64
AS: $19.36 (after 20% off from gift cards) PLUS 5000 miles
WN: $50.40 PLUS 14454 points
UA: $8.60
Excluding mileage value, cash total: $320.15
Started in January, I booked more flights on southwest rather than Alaska because of the sale during cyber Monday. Meanwhile, the convenience of OAK airport plus a robust schedule on this route gives me extra two hours of sleep comparing with flying Alaska. Most fares booked this semester are using miles/points, so the cost is significantly lower than last semester where I purchased cash tickets for some of them. Thanks for reading my January update! I will try to post the February and March update soon!
