Mileage Pro is a definite must-read. It helped me to understand my mileage program and the many ways that I could use the miles. It's definitely a book that gave me all the answers I needed and then some. Whether you are someone learning about airline mileage programs or you think you know it all, Mileage Pro's authors will teach you something new.

The suggestions for obtaining miles are fantastic. Most helpful info...get your request in early. I just got in for a Seattle flight 8 months out!

Mileage Pro truly is a break-through book. I didn't even know the myriad ways I could use my miles and bonus points, which really meant dollars wasted. Now, with this book I can literally work the system (and thank you Mileage Pro for making sure I understood that Aer Lingus WAS INDEED a star alliange member, so that I can redeem points via American Airlines. They made sure to make that such fine print I didn't know!).
