Merry Christmas, Mele Kalikimaka, and Feliz Navidad to all MileValue readers. I’ll be too busy Christmas shopping and traveling over the next few days to post, so look for new posts on Sunday or Monday… unless another Etihad mistake fare comes up like last Christmas! In that case I’ll post and tweet from @MileValueAlerts.
