We had an odd assortment of miles and points on different carriers so we actually cobbled together AA flights (one connection) out of White Plains and n/s JB back into JFK for November and I laughed in spite of myself when I realized how expensive those 'free' ff tix really were. When you start adding up the taxes and forward seats and possibly luggage, and then don't forget insurances........ or not, and those free tickets suddenly aren't as 'free' as you once thought they were. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />
