While I can fly cheaply and get lots of miles, that is my first choice. The EUR00 bonus with AA practically gave a free trip for each cheap trip. When I have more time and less money I'll use all those miles. I am holding a FF ticket to Mexico because the fares are so high - if they come down, I'll give up my FF ticket and purchase a ticket. So now I have lifetime Gold with AA, working on lifetime Platinum, so that when I do the award travel I will have status. Could not have done it without this board!
