Well, you're talking to somebody who has almost 400,000 frequent flyer miles in his account, so yeah, that's a sensitive subject for a lot of us.

It expands the reach of the frequent flyer programs and makes it easier to earn and redeem miles.

My husband travels a lot with his job, so we have a lot of frequent flyer miles so we can hop on a plane with no notice. That's a nice luxury and he is very supportive.

I consider myself a frequent flyer, flying roughly 200 times a year on mostly mainstream airlines.

I've been to Europe, Asia, Africa and South America -- 15 times on my frequent flier miles,

[Frequent flier programs have made it easy to accrue frequent flier miles without ever stepping on a plane.] But what airlines won't tell you is that when you try to redeem your free ticket you're competing with 40 million other frequent fliers for the same ticket, ... We all want to go to the same place and there aren't enough upgrade seats to go around.
