Nobody likes to pay fuel surcharges. I tremendously dislike paying them, and often book trips around no fuel surcharge glitches. In fact, two of the trips I have booked in the future are because there was a glitch where fuel surcharges weren’t levied on awards – British Airways First Class with US Dividend Miles, and…
Free Australian ETA for Flyertalk Members
I love Australia from the brief bits of Sydney and Melbourne I’ve seen, and I can’t wait to return. As you may or may not know, Canadian and American nationals are required to get an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority) before boarding their flights for entrance into Australia.

LAX airport is pretty dumpy, but the one nice thing about is the Tom Bradley International Terminal (the completed parts anyways). It is spectacular, and…

Air Canada Premium Rouge Review YVR-LAX
Air Canada Rouge Introduction When Air Canada switched over many of their leisure routes from mainline to Rouge many folks weren’t too thrilled about it, yours truly included.

Canadian Mint Manufacture Spend Opportunities?
Frequent Miler posted about an opportunity for Canadians to purchase collectors coins at face value, then redepositing or cashing them out at a bank. The Canadian Mint occasionally has silver coins which sell for their face value with free shipping online, which are available here. These coins have been around for awhile, so it’s not the…
