Here's my bio...I run a niche company out of the San Diego area, selling edited audio tapes of radio stations around the country to other radio stations & air personalities; and video tapes of radio personalities in the studio, on the air.

So my travel is to record stations in top 50 markets across the country and I usually do 30-40,000 miles a year at the lowest advance purchase tickets, and visiting several cities on each trip to keep the cost low. Since I'm carrying fragile audio & video equipment with me, I carry 2 bags on. When United started that 1-bag experiment in Des Moines unless you were a Premier, I started giving most of my miles to United to get Premier status..
