News and notes from around the interweb:
- 1500 American miles on a one-day Avis rental
- When US Airways joined the oneworld alliance they weren’t adding fuel surcharges onto British Airways award tickets. Last week they started to, but I explained that it may still be possible to get in under the wire. Matthew walks through the process of how it’s done.
- The indispensable source for all things related to North Korean aviation
- Etihad’s new 3-bedroom The Residence onboard their soon-to-deliver A380 represents a clever use of otherwise-dead space.
- Retiring the MD-80. The end nears for the decades-long mainstay of the American Airlines fleet.
- 10,000 American Express points for making a purchase from ANA of $2000 or more
- American is offering ‘up to 100,000 miles’ for transatlantic travel on their flights and those of their joint venture partners. But it’s actually a bonus of up to 25,000 miles for each roundtrip, earnable four times, and only full fare economy and higher earns any bonus at all.
One-ways earn half of the above. Registration is required using promotion code NA014. And travel must be completed by August 31.

The ANA offer is “by invite only” and it didn’t work for me.
I bet AA would give you a good deal on one of the one-way Roswell MD-80 flights 🙂
Great tip on the AA-Avis promo! Just changed 3 existing reservations Some rates went up, some down, but end result was a net total cost savings and +11,000 AA miles! Thanks for picking up this new blogger.
Same: “Sorry Unfortunately this campaign is by invitation only. Please visit AmexOffers.com for other fabulous offers.”
British Air offers the same bonus as American Airlines for trans-Atlantic travel. http://www.britishairways.com/en-US/offers/avios/ec-springpromo
Wasn’t eligible, but logged in and saw a $200 off $2000 Cathay Pacific deal which is better.
My husband and I will miss the 2-seat side of the MD-80!
Does the PHL-TLV US route qualify for the bonus AA miles?
