All the time. I'm single and have friends spread out all over the US, so I spend most of my weekends flying to visit them instead of going home. I have no reason to go home and this helps me maintain a strong social group.

Out of curiosity what is alt travel?

For those that travel continuously, the firm pays for you to fly back to your home state. Instead of booking a flight back home, alt travel is booking a flight to trave to any other city (lower cost/same cost).

Can someone walk me through the Do's and Don't's of AA miles? I think they're a joke.

I have 65k miles and I could only pay for a one-way ticket from PHX-JFK. I had to book 1 leg with miles and the 1 with cash, but booking the other leg in cash was about 80% of the round trip in cash.

My mom has 12k miles that expire soon, transferring them would cost me $450. I can pay for a round trip with that cash but I can only pay for a trip to my kitchen with those 12k miles.

What am I doing wrong? 😂
