Anyone got any good ideas?? Not sure how spirits program is but if anyone has it let me know.
I use Spirit, American and Delta these days.

Re: airline travel programs
for the canadians i find www.aeroplan.ca to be good
luckily i get to charge 30 to 40k each month to my cibc visa card from my businesses so i get 30 to 40,000 ff miles every month just from my visa purchases.
i also try to take a 10 day vacay every month and get another 15,ooo ff miles plus get a 50% ff mile bonus on them.
this allows me to send the wife to cuba or mexico to visit her family on ff miles while i go elsewhere:corky: and also still leaves me lots of extra ff miles to go to cuba and mexico myself. (i find paying cash for the long haul flights to get the miles works out the best and i use the ff miles for the 4 hour or less flights.
air canada's new e-upgrade program allows for lots of free 1st class upgrades. :corky:( less than 18hours to take off to bkk with the free upgrade:corky:)

Re: airline travel programs
I'm looking forward to Jetblues AYCJ 2011. I hope to go to DR a couple of times and sprinkle in a couple of other places.
Anyone else looking forward to All You Can Jet 2011??
