IN THE SKIES
Fast track to first class. If you know you'll be traveling a lot in coming months, you might be able to get elite frequent-flier status on some airlines even before you log your 25,000 qualifying points per year. Ian Douglas, a manager at StraightSource, which is based in Richardson, Texas, committed to accruing 10,000 points on American Airlines in 90 days. "I went to Platinum status in four and a half weeks," he says. Airlines don't promote this perk, called a "challenge," but details are spelled out at members.shaw.ca/fewmiles/. |
