And if you're still trying to play the frequent-flier game, Pearson is much more useful than YKF. (...). The airlines have been working on making that game not very fun anymore though.
It's a race to the bottom.
I fly a lot (mostly for work), so I do accumulate miles. But there are no "free flights" any more, and the value of miles is slowly eroding. I find the primary benefit of the programs to be the status, which gets you priority check-in/security/boarding/luggage, lounge access and some occasional upgrades. But for sure this games isn't as much fun as it used to be.
