Heya Milboo,
Its a legit NYtimes opinion article point of view.
Basically actual miles vs milage value that airline gives in reward.
Someone went on a trip, didn't get as much as they expected, belatedly discovered they hadn't noticed they werent going to get that much reward as the email itinery stated as much.
Nice, if you want a midly sad story of disappointment with some low to intermediated points reality knowledge.
The Frequent Flyer Concierge team takes the hard work out of finding reward seat availability. Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, they'll help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
