So, Jess and I have been flying (babyless!) for approximately 33 hours. It was quite a journey and not without its stresses. Still, though it’s only been two hours, the final destination, Bora Bora, seems worth it! Here are some things I’ve learned over the past 33 hours:

Adding an Infant to an International Award Ticket on United Airlines
I recently added Baby M to our summer award tickets to Germany so I thought I’d just share my experience in case it helps anyone. Adding an infant ticket to an award is always a little bit of a minefield and can be a huge hassle. Still, a lot of times you can benefit from the simple fact that most agents don’t really know what they’re doing. Anyway, here’s my experience (although it’s not quite complete); I’ll be sure to update as things further unfold!
The DIY Guide to Booking Award Tickets – Part III: Know Your Airline Alliances and Partners
People have different opinions when it comes to booking award tickets with frequent flyer miles. I, for one, love booking award tickets and enjoy the challenge that comes with doing so. Booking award tickets are like puzzles to me and I love solving them. Other people hate booking award tickets, consider them too much of a hassle, or even go so far as to believing their frequent flyer miles are completely worthless. I’ve decided to put a guide together for those of you who fall in between – people who want to book award tickets themselves but feel like they need some pointers. This guide will assume some basic knowledge, namely, that you know how to log in to your frequent flyer account and check your mileage balance. Other than that, the guide is here to help you through the process – hope you find it useful! Feel free to refer to the index at the bottom of the page for other entries.
In Part III of the series, we’ll review what airline alliances and partnerships are and talk about why they are important to understand for award bookings. This is the last “background theory” post, after this we’ll get to some of the more practical tips, so if you’ve been bored just bear with one more post!
