Airline/Hotel Loyalty Programs

The parking lot is no longer free (acc. to my kids), but it is super easy. My kids fly home to Houston 5-6 times per year, for sometimes as low as $40 each way. We love it.

They probably have to do that to keep it manageable with the increased commercial flights. Probably more parking coming as well.

Oh, OK. They told me they would put in paid parking eventually.

Ha. Yes. You park your car in the free lot. Walk maybe 50 yards to the terminal, check in, walk 100 ft to security (always short lines), then walk maybe 50 yards to your gate. Beautiful new building.

I’ve considered it for a trip to SFO but they only had one flight a day and the time didn’t work for me. But if my schedule can accommodate it, it seems like a viable option.

Sweet.

I've not used it yet. Is it intuitive/easy to use?

I love the Provo airport. So convenient.

I was looking at flights from Provo to SFO a little while ago, and I can fly for as little as $39 each way if I time it right. Plus I get all my baggage free because military. I'll make that trip when my schedule clears up.

I haven't, but David Neeleman is the man behind the airline. My guess is that it will be efficient and cheap, if his history is any indicator.

Anyone around here try flying on Breeze Airways yet? Looks like they have 14 destinations originating from the Provo airport. They also have a proprietary rewards program.

No service in Idaho, yet, so I hadn't really thought about them for a while until I saw a reference to them today.

Yes. Flew to SFO from Provo last year. It was fine.

One way? Didn't want to return on the same carrier?

I'll probably use it soon. Very convenient and inexpensive. I'm just not sure when I'll be able to travel this year. Lots of things happening.

OK, I decided to jump back the credit card game-the-system crowd. I signed up for a SkyMiles Amex where I get 75K miles if I spend $3K in the first few months (already done). Then today I got a SkyMiles Platinum Business Amex where I get 95K miles if I spend $4K in the first 3 months. A cool 170K miles to play with.

I will have well over 300K miles. I need to plan some trips.

Amex and Chase points are generally considered to be the most valuable. With Delta being an Amex transfer partner, you should be able to get a lot of value from them flying out of SLC since it's a Delta hub.

And you might get even better value from transferring the points to Virgin Atlantic and then booking Delta flights there. Here's an article about when it might be best to book Delta flights through VA:
