This might be a repetitive question but since United changed its model to give miles based on price, I book early , fly cheap and barely make miles - which airline is best 4 earning miles?

Book late, fly expensive, and capitalize on miles. Much much better than distanced-based. Party is over for mileage runners.

LOL! I am telling you lately flights have just been cheap coz of #oil. Any other recommendations on mileage stuff?

OP, just go with one of the mainline carriers and stick to them. Your points as a multiple of spend increase as your status. I.e. AA and UA start you off at 5 miles/ dollar, and end up at 11 for EXP/1K

I love the new spend based mileage program... my flight's $1200 a week for a 1000 mike flight: 13k miles a week vs the previous 4k... but I see how it could suck on a cheap route...

I have to travel to my client every week and the client’s office is attached to a very nice hotel that’s $250 per night. There’s a hotel right across the street that’s $150 per night.. it’s alright, but not as great. Should I be mindful about how much I’m spending or should I blow up the budget until someone says something?

One of your roommates (and a close friend that you’ve known for years) has a flight to catch. He has a suitcase, a duffle bag (no wheels), and a backpack. In order for him to get to the airport would you:

A) offer to drive him to the airport that’s about .5 miles away (5 minute drive)

B) tell him to order an Uber since you know his work would pay for it

C) tell him to not be lazy and walk half a mile to the nearest public transportation stop, with all that luggage, and take public transit
