My trip this weekend started and ended at SFO with 0 miles flown. United had a maintenance delay that forced a missed connection and ruined my trip. I got a refund and went home.

Remember ATA?

Do you remember ATA? Sure, their jingle was good. Do you remember their mileage program? It had a miles credit card. Travel Awards is the program name. Yup, all those points became instantly worthless when the airline shut down. Inflation and devaluations are real concerns for frequent flyers. Use your miles, that's why you collect them.

Fear Points Inflation

Raise a glass to oneworld - best alliance for wines

I'll credit Qantas, Iberia, and LATAM for this win.
oneworld is named the best alliance for wine in the 2017 Wines on the Wing survey published today by US magazine Global Traveler – regaining an award it previously won two years ago.

The result echoes the findings of the Cellars in the Sky awards presented by the UK’s Business Traveller in February this year – and retained by oneworld for multiple years – which means that oneworld’s now holds both awards presented to recognise the quality the wines served by member airlines of a global alliance.

Besides winning the “best alliance” title, oneworld’s member airlines also flew high in the Global Traveler Wines on the Wing awards – just as they did in Business Traveller’s Cellars in the Sky.

Austrian Airlines Business Class

Great seats and amazing food, flying Austrian long haul is a great use of frequent flyer miles.

Where is your aviation navigational fix? If you have a 5 letter last name, the FAA will tell you where to find your fix. My fix is outside Montgomery, AL.
