Tips, Tricks, and Travel with Lucky
So this afternoon I drove to Orlando to pick up my mom, who was arriving on LH from FRA. She has a convention here in Orlando tomorrow, so I booked a cheap Hampton Inn instead of driving back to Tampa with her tonight since she has to be back here tomorrow, and I get stay credits and [...]

As I posted about back on March 12, I’m an avid collector of My Coke Rewards (MCR) points, and was pleased to see the return of Priority Club points to the list of redemption options, since it’s the only reward that has any real value to me.

Looks like AA has added quite a few fees for upgrades/awards. First of all is a $5 fee for booking awards on aa.com (Executive Platinum members are exempt).

This morning in the security line at TPA the lady in front of me had the dreaded “SSSS” on her boarding pass, so was selected [...]
