Earn and Burn: Why Hoarding a Ton of Airline Miles Is Not Always a Good Idea.

Man, there have been some great airline mileage promotions recently. Between bonus miles earned on purchased, shared or transferred miles to earning bonus miles when flying select routes, airlines have been giving you more and more reasons to fly their metal and accrue more miles. Combine that with the huge bonuses on branded credit card signups and you’ll have more miles and points than you’ll know what to do with. But is hoarding a ton of airline miles really a good idea?

The Boeing 737-800 flies more flights than any other domestic aircraft and is a solid foundation for the American and United Airlines legacy.  And with the new "Sky Interior," this Boeing 787 baby brother is sleek, fuel efficient and offers a better passenger experience.

The rest is up to the individual airlines.

Trip Report: LH Lufthansa Review, Business Class LAX to FRA.

Oh Lufthansa, where do I begin with you?  On one hand, your First Class product is absolutely amazing. Your efficiency, luxury, lounges and ability to pander to your premium clients are all top notch and leaves little to be desired.  But on the other hand, everything else including your Business Class, Economy Class, and service to those passengers, leaves much to be desired.
