In 2024 I earned 16,175 United miles via #MileagePlusX. Basically paying for stuff I was already going to buy with on-demand gift cards. Since I started in 2016 I've earned 120K miles. That's enough to fly free round trip KC to Sydney twice. Or once in premium economy. Of course credit card miles are more in excess of that.

In reasons to avoid the #FlyingCattleCattleCars: Crazy Karens biting the flight crew, get your flight delayed because once they land, no one else wants to work the next flight lest they get bitten too.

It’s been a unnecessarily painful day of #AirTravel, due to a lack of communication on the part of the #airline that could’ve been avoid had the #friendlyskies been upfront from the start of the day.

On the upside, #chilis #yyc made things a little better for me, & tried with the #TortieTerror, but she’s happier turning my coat into her cave.

Also a #shoutout of #thanks to Mark at #WestJet who did what he could within his control to make a bad situation better.
