In this week's frequent flyer discussion we answer some viewer mail and cover some recent news. Unfortunately when we recorded last week, Continental's new redemption award chart had not yet been released, so some of our commentary is stale already. Outside of this we discussed:

loving all the links to everything you guys talk about.
@spkg - Thanks for the comment - I should have added links when posting old episodes, I'll make sure to keep adding them in the future.
Also, regarding the American Airlines challenge or any flights that you are looking for a good fare in specific class across an entire month you can use this syntax for the fare class search on itasoftware :
sfo::aa+ / f bc=V
This means a flight from JFK, on one or more American Airlines flight, in booking class V. This comes in handy when using the month long search tool as you can search a wide range of the 90 days you have for your challenge on AA.
Hey guys, the other airline that is 'two classes of service only' on international service on Star, is Air Canada.. Love the show, amazing work, keep it up...and let's have something on using Star Alliance passes..I do and would like to learn more...
