This has been quite a week on the travel front, between the horrible tragedies in Brussels, the aftermath of the FlyDubai crash in Russia, the highs and lows of the Starwood/Marriott merger, and the American devaluation.
I spent the first part of my week redeeming as many American miles as possible, while I spent the second part of my week being sad about the new redemption rates... but I think I'm finally over it. ;)
This coming week I'm off to Beijing for one of my last mileage runs under the old AAdvantage system, where miles are awarded based on distance flown rather than how much the ticket cost. It will also be my first time on the American Boeing 787.
