I, too, get first class seating, but from using miles. When you go to pay for a first class seat, it's 4,5, 6 times as much as a cattle class seat, but when you use miles, it's only twice as much. I keep my American Airlines miles up with survey sites, an AA-branded credit card, and i-Dine. Even my cell phone plan dumps miles into my account every month.

Like you, I'm willing to drive, and being retired, I have the time to do it.

It's good to have options when travelling, and even better to create those opportunities.
