Thank you! We flew into STL a few weeks ago and had looked into Super Shuttle (doesn't exist there) and Uber ($$) - these prices are reasonable. Have you used this service before?

  • Will one/both of you be checking bags? No. We are pretty good at carry-on only.
  • Are you buying coach or first class seats? Could be either, depending on prices.
  • How much OTHER spend could you put on the card (total monthly spend on normal things you can pay off each month)? Gosh, as much as is beneficial. I suppose I could even make my mortgage payment with the card and then pay that off?
  • What's your goal? Upgrades? Miles for free flights? Not paying baggage fees? Free flights. 100%.

I haven't used the MoX shuttle; I've heard people say it's ok.
