The 15 Greatest Miles and Points Deals Ever

There have been many great deals over time, and they never last. The lesson is to take advantage of what's offered, make use of the benefits, and expect to have to move onto the next offer that comes along.

For all of the many great opportunities that there have been over the past couple of years, probably the greatest ones are even better. The funny thing is that in my frequent flyer youth, I never even knew how great I had it.

FARE ALERT: Several Cities – Even West Coast – to Europe From $263 Roundtrip

Right now there's the lowest fare available that I've seen between the West Coast and Europe in awhile. You can fly San Francisco to London for as little as $263 roundtrip. And it's not even a basic economy fare, it's on Icelandair which gives you an advance seat assignment, a carry on bag at no extra charge.

Saudia flight SV3818 from Medina, Saudi Arabia to Dhaka, Bangladesh reached 37,000 feet when the crew diverted to Jeddah. It made a go-around on its first approach because a landing gear hadn't gone down.

United Should Stop Shaming Passengers Who Steal Business Class Bedding

A year ago United directed flight attendants to keep a watchful eye over passengers who might 'steal' business class bedding.

United's Polaris soft product does have nice bedding, in fact I don't know any airline business class whose bedding is clearly better. That's an amazing statement to make. It would have been hard to imagine two years ago that anyone would have wanted to take a business class pillow or blanket off of a United flight.
