		<description><![CDATA[I am one of those fliers who have bought into the frequent flier program &#8230; I know it&#8217;s a ploy by the airlines to create and maintain loyalty at the expense of most fliers, especially those who do not take advantage of the perks and benefits.
So, after each trip, I check to make sure that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=walkingates.wordpress.com&blog=2114140&post=235&subd=walkingates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Perhaps with fewer airlines, the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=walkingates.wordpress.com&blog=2114140&post=205&subd=walkingates&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
