Apr 29 Update: US Airways Award Tikets avoid surcharges when flying on BA, Aeroplan transfer bonus, buy US Airways miles bonus to return

The Aeroplan transfer bonus returns, US Airways is the program to use
for British Airways award tickets for the time being and more!

News, Tips & Tricks

Some of the U.S. Frequent Flyer blogs are encouraging you to book US Airways Dividend Miles award
tickets for travel on British Airways sooner than later as word is
getting out that US Airways is not charging the fuel surcharges that
they are supposed to be charging for. This is a really good way to save
hundreds if not thousands of dollars on travel to London. So if you can
now is time to book some BA travel via USDM! If you don’t have enough
miles you can always buy miles with the up to 100% bonus that starts up
again on May 3rd (see below) HT View From the Wing, One Mile at a Time

We had an email this morning from Points.com letting us know that the US Airways
promo of up to a 100% bonus when buying miles will return on May 3rd
and last until May 25. If you are not a USDM member join now as you
usually have to be a member for 12 days before you can buy miles (and
then use them for the above offer!)
