Trying to afford a flight for my family from Charlotte to Portland for an upcoming funeral. 4 plus an infant and I’d love to be able to afford her her own seat. I’m terrified of having a connection and getting stuck with the littles, so we are only interested in nonstop. I trust none of the airlines at this point so we will be driving 3 hrs to Charlotte and 3 hrs from Portland. I want to get a cash rewards card hoping to avoid blackouts and a facade of miles redeemed per dollar. Any advice?
