  2. Do we book speculatively, hoping for a schedule change? | Question of the Week Ep8 | 7-5-26

    Do we book speculatively, hoping for a schedule change? | Question of the Week Ep8 | 7-5-26

    Do we book speculatively, hoping for a schedule change? Reader "LR" sent us the following question: "I was intrigued by a recent post about schedule changes in another group that I follow. This particular person noted that anytime United or AA makes a schedule change of any type, you can change your flight at no additional cost to your preferred route. Sometimes you may even have flexibility within several days of the original flight. So my question is, is this a tactic that you all use if you book flights far in advance? Pick the cheapest award price from one city to another, and then hope for a schedule change in order to change it to your preferred route? And then on an even more complicated note- have any of you had success following a schedule change, of changing from a flight in “first class (non-lay-flat seats)” to a different flight on “Delta One” or AA’s “flagship business” or United Polaris (etc, all of which have lay-flat seats)? I assume these are considered different classes and would require a fee upgrade. I’m trying to book flights home from Hawaii next March, and I’m wondering if this kind of tactic may work."We’ve been answering a reader or listener question at the end of each Frequent Miler on the Air podcast episode.

    How are you using AI for trip planning? Frequent Miler reader Jared wrote in: I recently asked the Bilt Neighborhood Concierge AI which weekends a particular Bilt Home Away from Home hotel (Kimpton Journeyman) had availability between August and December.

    Book airfare through credit card portal or direct? | Question of the Week Ep6 | 6-21-26

    Book airfare through credit card portal or direct? Frequent Miler reader Mike wrote in with this question: American Express Platinum cards give you 5x points for direct bookings to airline flights. However, most airlines give you 3x to 5x for using their own co-branded cards for those same flights. Direct bookings give you more options if things go sideways (e.g., flight cancelations that require a rebooking). Or would prefer 8x Chase Sapphire Ultimate Rewards multiplier? If you use Amex or Chase, you have to deal with an online travel agency to re-book replacement flights. Do you prefer Amex Platinum, Chase Sapphire Reserve, over direct bookings versus that airline’s own co-branded card, and why?
