I recently got back from my vacation to Costa Rica. Instead of going on American’s or Delta’s website and inputting SEA->SJO like a normal person, I ended up booking 6 different legs, on 2 different airlines. Here are the legs for the trip:
SEA->BWI on Alaska
BWI->ATL on Delta
ATL->SJO on Delta
SJO->ATL on Delta
ATL->BWI on Delta
BWI->SEA on Alaska
Over the past couple of months, I’ve been weighting the pros and cons of getting a high end credit card. I had the American Express Platinum for a few years but I couldn’t justify paying the high cost of card when I wasn’t using any of the benefits. Now that I’ve changed jobs and relocated to the west coast I’m traveling more often than I ever did before.
2 months ago Delta and American ran an awesome sale to Panama from most of their hubs. As my birthday was coming up, I took the opportunity to book the trip. My Panama vacation was great and I definitely plan on going back. (I’ll talk more about my trip in a later post). The fact that I was able to go to Panama was amazing enough but what surprises people the most is that the trip cost me nothing.
One of the things I love about Alaska Airlines is how customer friendly they are both on and off the plane. In addition to offering free entertainment in January, Alaska will also be waiving the fee on your first checked bag. To take advantage of the deal all you have to do is sign up for their mileage plan.
