I’m back with episode 002 of What’s the Points! Today we cover the changes that took place to American’s AAdvantage program yesterday, my favorite deal-finding site, and a curious story about glass jetways. Click through for the video!
Well today is the day. The amount of redeemable miles you earn on a flight no longer has any correlation to the distance of the flight or the class in which you fly. It’s now all about the money. I’ve made my thoughts on the matter pretty clear in a previous post and won’t rehash the gory details here. But let’s talk about a change American needs to make.
I had the joy of taking another tour with my buddies at Epic Helicopters on Friday. The heli rides are not cheap but I love taking photos from such a unique perspective. As we flew over Love Field (home of Southwest Airlines), the pilot let me know there was a Southwest Airlines flight landing underneath us. I know that sounds dangerous but we were at plenty of altitude and the tower told us to fly over the airport. As the flight landed we were in the perfect position for some great photos!

I’m excited to debut a new video series covering the latest and greatest in the miles and points community!
