I had been accumulating my miles for a long time as I don't fly all that much anymore. I use them every now and then but not very often. Well, the family decided that we were going to go to Disney World so I though, here's the chance to use some miles.
I gave my AA account info to my wife and showed her the web site. I figured "good luck" in being able to find any Advantage seats to Disney World.
Well, she called me at work at said that she found some seats and had everything set up for the trip. I'm figuring hey, that's great.
Well a few days before we left, I happend to look at the reservations.....FIRST CLASS!! AHHHHH!
175,000 mile! Damn near all I had left to take two adults and a five year old to see Mickey. That could have been a family trip to Europe!!! Was really hard to keep my mouth shut....
