I was visiting another forum called flytalk.com. I fly with United Airlines and wanted to figure out some good ways to earn some extra miles so I can earn elite status to get all the little perks in traveling. So after visiting this website if figured out there are lots of insane people that travel for absolutely no reason. Apparently people are so wrapped up on these mileage programs that they suggest doing Mileage Runs. Which means to find the cheapest ticket with the most traveled miles and spend a weekend day flying around the US just to rack up miles and gain elite status. (sounds kinda like a fetish). Does anyone do this here or is this like a hobby for people? Thoughts.
