Sand in the Gears leads a revolt against airport security. If enough of us did this, we might be able to overthrow a silly regime that doesn’t protect us in the least, causes massive consternation among the traveling public, and is doing serious damage to an airline industry which is losing billions of dollars a quarter. Tony may have just found a way out of this recession — taking our economy and our dignity into our own hands.

Thanks for the link, Quare. In noting the link, Quare asks what in the world the title More Room Throughout Coach has to do with “Free Miles and Free Markets.” The answer, it turns out, makes plenty of sense…

So, wait a minute. I don’t plan to fly any of these places, or on USAirways, or Delta. So, Mr. Smartypants More Room Throughout Coach, what good is any of this to me? Simple. You may not realize it now, but you might catch a flight.. say from DC up to New York on the USAirways shuttle.. or maybe you’re flying Northwest and your flight gets cancelled and you get put onto Delta. Will you be able to register for this promotion while running between terminals trying to catch another flight? I didn’t think so. Just register for these babies. It takes just a few seconds. It could pay off big in free travel.

Delta has another good one. Register for 750 bonus miles for each segment, which also count towards elite status.
Delta is offering double base
Delta is offering double base miles on all flights between August 1 and October 15, but you have to register. What are “double base miles?” Since you asked… it normally takes flying 25,000 to become an elite flyer (which makes you eligible for first class upgrades and lots of other good things). Double base miles means that each mile you fly counts as two. Fly 12,500 miles and become an elite. Reach the next level at 25,000 instead of 50,000, too!
