Nine Reasons Why Award Tickets Are Better Than Cash Tickets
July 8, 2013
People complain about frequent flyer programs. When the The New York Times writes about how to use your miles to get an award seat, a laundry list of complaints come up in the comments. There are legitimate annoyances with award tickets:
Low-miles-price tickets are capacity controlled. If you want to fly at peak times, you have to pay double the miles you were expecting to pay.
More award tickets are requiring a large cash component in the form of fuel surcharges.
You often have to book by phone. It takes a few minutes to ticket a cash ticket online.
