Family Travel with Points and Miles
While we had planned to fly to Hawaii in August of 2018, we were unable to go on that trip and had canceled the flights we had bought on miles. We paid the fee when we canceled so we wouldn't lose the 180,000 points we had transferred to buy those tickets originally so we had… Continue reading July 2019: Hawaii – Flight Planning
