Cheapest Flights and Awards To & From Cuba
March 9, 2015
I'm considering a trip to Cuba in April because I fall under one of the 12 categories of Americans that now have a general license to visit Cuba: journalistic activity. (See the US State Department's information on visiting Cuba. This post is not suggesting you should.)
I've been looking into the cheapest ways to get to Cuba with miles or cash.

Best Ways to Get from South America to Europe
February 23, 2015
I'm intrigued by flights and awards that don't involve America. If there's a cool award to get from Australia to SE Asia, that can be integral to a longer, better, and cheaper trip.
My two favorite continents to explore are South America and Europe.

Gold Mine Award Space to All of Argentina
September 3, 2014
Edit 9/3/14: Readers are reporting that Air France and Delta cannot ticket all the space shown on airfrance.us. There may be some sort of glitch. I'll try to get to the bottom of this.
Award space is wide open in economy and business class between the United States and Argentina for the next 11 months, including award space over the peak December to March summer period.
You can book this award space on wide-open Aerolineas Argentinas flights with your Delta or Flying Blue miles.
Do This to Avoid an Error When Transferring ThankYou Points
August 28, 2014
I got an error when I tried to transfer ThankYou Points to Air France Flying Blue miles. A Citi representative called me to let me know that my transfer would be cancelled, and I could re-initiate at my leisure.
The problem was that I had put my 10 digit Flying Blue number in when asked my Flying Blue number.
