A few weeks ago, I shared some tips for earning frequent flier miles.  Next up is how to use these frequent flier miles to actually fly for free (also known as “award travel”).  It is absolutely true that earning miles is only half the battle.  You can accumulate miles forever and ever, but actually using […]

As I boarded the plane to Costa Rica, the scan of Dave’s boarding pass showed that he was now sitting in seat 4D, not 21E as his old boarding pass had said.  Well, 4D is pretty close to the front, which meant that my loving husband had been upgraded to first class while I was […]
