As a former airline sales guy, I have one piece of advice: if your travel plans are mostly at Christmas and during summer, I presume that you are paying for these tickets yourself. In that case, you get nothing out of these frequent flyer programs.</font>
PTRT, I humbly disagree with you. As you browse threads on this board, you will encounter many FT'ers who demonstrate loyalty to a particular carrier without regard for free tickets. Upgrades are a magnificent use of miles as well giving reward tickets to friends and relatives. I have only claimed a reward ticket for myself once...
