Families kicked off flights, $100 statement credit, new churn, losing miles and more!

Another week, some more miles in the bank and hopefully you are also a little bit wiser.  In case you missed anything from Points With a Crew this past week, here were the top stories:

Family Travel

• We continue to hear reports of families being kicked off flights for “disruptive” kids.  It’s enough to make me wonder if flight crews have gotten out of control in this regard?
• To make matters worse – Delta seated a man’s 4 year old daughter 11 rows away from him and wouldn’t sit them together without nearly $100 in fees.  Should there be government regulation to ensure families sit together?
• Our family of 8 is trying to book a Candlewood Suites hotel but IHG won’t sell us just 2 rooms – they require us to book 4 (FOUR!) rooms on an award stay!

Credit Cards

• The Bank of America Alaska Airlines card with a $100 statement credit is BACK!  Time to stock up miles to get that first class shower in the sky!

Other travel news

• Here’s the one thing that I sometimes forget to do that will make you lose your miles and points from shopping portals.  Personally, I’ve got almost 9000 miles up in the air!
• Top travel news from around the world – Antarctica, Ukraine, treadmill death, mistake fares and a ton of private jets!
