American Airlines and the now former U.S. Airways took another huge step into its full integration. When two airlines of this magnitude, it takes time for every aspect of the merger to go through.

Starting in May 2016, WOW Air will be coming to Canada. It is actually so far away and anything can happen from now until then. I was initially going to wait a bit longer to see if there are any other developments before writing a post on it. But since I received a question on it, I thought I’d at least provide some initial thoughts.
For only 12,000 points, I was able to stay at the Best Western Fallsview in Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. The location was amazing. As a Platinum member they upgraded my room so we were on the top floor of the hotel with a great view.
I think that I might use Thanksgiving as a yearly theme to list out all that I am thankful for in the miles and points world. Hopefully every year the list will change because of positive improvements in the industry.
