Re: While booking an international air-travel trip..
depends where you are. i think most US and Canadian airlines have good FFP for North America. most airlines offer actual mileage accrual irrespective of type of fare paid. most airlines offer short hop flights for as low as 15000 miles.
if you wanna fast accrual of FREE miles to receive a FREE ticket from anywhere to anywhere in North America, you should get a Travel Credit Card from some of the banks. they are giving away 25000 miles for signing up. it’s enough to get a FREE ticket for across North America.
Air Canada is offering TWO free tickets to anywhere in North America for $25000 miles which you can get by just signing up with American Express Gold Card. First year charges for the card is FREE so you may cancel your card after your first year and after receiving your signup rewards.
great deals out there…keep looking!
