LifeMiles now appears to be blocking mid and long haul domestic routes within Canada. Short haul routes are still available. Typical scammy behavior from LifeMiles but you can't even use them...

I really hate that you can't book award travel within 3 days. This is a completely unreasonable restriction given that many airlines only open award inventory for booking last minute. A far more...

This probably depends a lot upon who you ask. If you're Seattle based and taking long haul flights, you come out ahead with 1 mile flown = 1 mile in the program (except it's not really that, because...

Contrarian view: It depends. United objectively has more nonstops from SFO than Alaska. If you're traveling for business and value nonstops above elite benefits, then United may be a better option...

Fraud is real and mileage brokers are absolutely ruining miles and points programs for the rest of us. The right way to solve this is to allow last-minute travel only if the account holder is...

Alaska still claims that it'll be possible to redeem points on Porter Airlines in 2024. There are only two weeks left in the year - any chance of a Christmas miracle?

Porter award bookings still in 2024?

We're most of the way through 2024, and still no ability to redeem for awards on Porter. Have I missed any updates from Alaska on this? WestJet has just fallen apart at the seams operationally, Air...

Is Avianca Nearing Insolvency?

Web site doesn't work, no way to book via email, this is what happened just before Jet Airways shut down. Is LifeMiles insolvent?

ADK is pretty rough. Then again, considering where it is, you're optimizing for having service at all. :)

It's Hertz. You should be grateful that they didn't have you arrested, and are best served by never renting from them again.

I usually don't bother with Flying Blue since their rates are silly. Qantas doesn't show the fuel surcharge, though, so either they absorb YQ for this carrier, or there is some sort of integration...

There have never been carrier surcharges for WestJet flights before, only actual taxes charged. And this is, like, 3x the price of a revenue fare, plus miles!

Another plot twist: I called WestJet...

Crazy fuel surcharges on WestJet award flights

I'm seeing some of the craziest fuel surcharges ever on WestJet flights. For example, Vancouver to Cancun has $1,357 in taxes and carrier imposed surcharges, including a $1,257 "Carrier Imposed...
