    Infant booking with Alaska miles

    I think by memory it was 10% of the fare. When we went to LA from perth we used qantas points for my husband and my infant and then alaska air for me and my 2 year old. Paid $738 for adult and $645 for infant but that was in 2014 when the taxes were higher. Now they are $200 to US and i assume...

    Bargains / must buys while in the USA

    Alcohol is really cheap at Walmart as well. $18 for a 1L bottle of jacks (from Vegas so taxes different). Also a visit to Walmart is definitely an eye opener!!! On our visit to Vegas last year we actually found the south outlet mall to be better than the north one. But can't hurt to go to...
