What is the best way to collect air miles?

Which air plans are the best? Which ones have lots of loops to jump through? Is there another way to save up points towards flying? How do you manage to travel cheaply? I don't mean in the sense of once you get to your destination and saving on hotels and what not- I mean for going from point A to point B in an airplane. Are there websites out there that get cheaper tickets than expedia or travelocity?

Wow...that's like 4-5 different questions in one.





The best plans are the ones you will probably use the most. I have American Airlines since I fly domestically and to Central/South America a lot. I can fly to other places on their partner airlines.





You just have to check to see what your flying patterns are and which airline best matches that. For instance, if you fly to the pacific northwest a lot or to Alaska or Mexico, then Alaska Airlines might be the best for you. (yes...Alaska flies a LOT to Mexico...) Plus Alaska has a lot of partner airlines to redeem miles for award flights too.





Most airlines have mileage credit cards you can earn miles on without flying. Some airlines have an online mall where you can internet shop and earn miles on your purchases. They have stores like Macy's, Nordstrom, Office Depot, Dell, Foot Locker, Home Depot, and other such stores.





Some airlines have a dining plan where you can dine at local restaurants and earn miles too.





The best way to find cheap airfare is through the airline's own website. There are some airfare internet specials that the airlines don't "release" to sites like Expedia and Travelocity.
Reply:the only way to obtain air points is to go on a plane. and fly. fly fly away.
