Navigating Turbulent Skies

We all worry about it. The airlines don't seem to be able to make it six months without declaring bankruptcy these days. What does it mean? Where are we headed? The questions are many; the ansers are few. What is certain is that we should all keep a careful eye on the news to see whether your frequent flyer credits are in jeopardy. In recent years I've tried to consolidate mine to maximize the rewards, but it's beginning to look more and more like Russian rouletter. I suggest you read Navigating Turbulent Skies in The New York Times' Practical Traveler section. And furthermore, I suggest you start figuring out how to use your miles before it's too late. I'm going to!
