I'd like to ask other frequent flyers out there what you are doing to bring down the price of your tickets? One thing I found is if you purchase your ticket from US---> Canada (works only if you fly there often) you save a bit on the taxes on the US lag of the trip.
Another option is always to take connecting flights, but who has the time for that?!
Where are you flying to? I had looked into the flight pass several times but found that if you can plan a couple of weeks ahead (which you can do when you have regular travel pattern) and not completely tied to AC, you can usually do better than flight passes, even T+ ones... Flight pass is more useful if you have last minute, irregular travel patterns.
