Forget about American and United with their fancy, shmansy first class travel awards. Here's a program with some real bite to it!

Those could work...

Alaska's motto is "The Last Frontier". However, this little Inuit carrier is in the northern reaches of Canada (with flights down to Montreal), not Alaska.

(The Village Idiot stands in the corner with his little dunce cap on... again)
And when did they start spelling Alasaka with only 2 A's? I like the old way of spelling it better. I'm sticking with it...
(mental note, buy a dictionary... Come to think of it, why is the word dictionary in the dictionary?)

Actually, you *need* 8,260 points for that particular reward... and the ratio at which you earn points is a bit steep if you ask me... you can win a hat for 375 points, which according to the chart needs you to purchase $350 worth of tickets. That would mean that for a mere $16,520 worth of other travel you get that free trip--and that's still expensive even if it is CAN $ and not US $.

...and California is the Golden State. Or the "We can't keep our lights on" State.
So is Inuit Air subject to Quebec's draconian French laws? ("Merci avoir choisi Inuit Air vol 245, Kuujjuaraapik-Kangiksualujjuag"). Looks like they operate out of the Inuit towns in Quebec around Hudson Bay and the Labrador Sea. <brrrrrr....>
