I wanted to cover a topic today as I take my first ever, true, mileage run. A Mileage Run is a flight or series of flights where the sole purpose of the flight is to collect frequent flyer miles. Mileage runs come in all shapes and sizes. Some from North America to Asia can earn over…
ORD-DFW (810 Miles) I decided to take a last minute flight to Portland to see a friend. I booked the tickets just 4 days before departure and was still able to get a round trip flight for just around $200. The catch, was flying through DFW each way and the return was Superbowl Sunday (not…
As the Holidays and the year come to an end I am constantly reminded that I did not attain my goal this year to reach American Airlines Executive Platinum status.

ORD-DFW (801 Miles) This was a day that it paid to be flexible. I had a flight at 2:30PM connecting through DFW, continuing onto SEA. When I woke up I saw one of the worst sights; Ice. I knew that there was not a chance my flight would leave at 2:30PM and knew that my…
