Apparently everyone else on BoardingArea says that we are going to close comments and no new posts are going to go up starting tonight, so I will see everyone next week! I will be on twitter so feel free to tweet me if anything interesting pops up! So a few days ago I posted a mistake fare…
UA is Changing Award Fees!
As the title says, United has changed its award fees, not for the better. This is really horrible, after what happen with PQD’s (Premier Qualifying Dollars) being implemented for US residents (luckily we Canadians are not affected by this). United previously allowed changes for free more than 21 days out as long as the origin…
EVA Air Updates: Bookable with Aeroplan!
You can now you your Aeroplan miles to book EVA Air flights. As I mentioned yesterday these flights were already bookable with Lifemiles.

From a cursory glance, it seems like there isn’t anything spectacular, but the IHG points sale are back. I am still waiting for Hyatt points and SPG points to be on sale.…
The rush from award bookings…
As One Mile At a Time very aptly puts it, there’s that rush when you book (award) tickets, especially when there’s an aspirational redemption or a mistake fare dangling in front of you. The award that I feel most deserves to win the “award that will give you that high” is probably going to be…
