AA Adding Same Day Flights to Priceline Inventory
According to an unnamed source AA has been adding some same day inventory to the Priceline Name your Own Price inventory. If you have got to go today, it may be a source of a low cost fare. I can not confirm, but the info came from a regular reader that has a relationship with an AA pilot. Said to have been happening for the last couple of months.
Frequent Traveler University Best Tip for Me
My best tip from the FT University came from my buddy Beaubo, Steve Belkin. He benchmarked for the crowd when he went big in aquiring miles from promotions. If miles are one cent he is in. At 3/4 of a cent per mile you really have his attention and if he can acquire miles for 1/2 cent or less, he is off to the bank to borrow the money necessary to get in a s big as he can on the deal.
Beaubo has acquired over 27 million miles so when Beaubo talks, I listen.
