On today's show, we'll talk about Frontier's Million Mile Match.

We're going to get tripped up by the Seattle Seahawks 12s, and we'll debate which is better, American Airlines or Alaska's loyalty program.

Frequent Milo on the air starts now.

Today's main event, American Airlines Advantage versus Alaska Atmos.

So these are two programs that are both part of the One World Alliance. They have a tight partnership,

and there's a lot of similarities between them. And it might make sense for people who fly American Airlines actually

earn status with Alaska, earn status end points with Alaska, or vice versa. Alaska

Flyers, it might actually make sense to earn points and status with American Airlines. And so,

we're going to dig into the details today and decide in today's main event, which is better.

I'm really excited about that in part because I'm kind of working my way towards both right now and I don't need both. So I would love your help, Greg, and figuring out which one I should get. So anyway, remember, if you want to jump ahead to that section or you want to come back to something later on, don't forget, you can always find the timestamps in the show notes. Just expand the description and wherever you're listening to this or watching this don't forget to leave us some stars

give us a thumbs up like the video if you're watching on youtube we always appreciate all of that

feedback from you now it's time to drag out this week's giant mailback today's giant mail

comes once again from lisa uh on a recent episode, we read Lisa's email where she

talked about being able to cancel Avianca Life Miles award flights after the date of flying.

And that her, it was sort of implied from her email that she wasn't charged a

cancellation fee because she had life miles plus subscription which gives you free cancellations

we had a we had a discussion in that show about okay yes, yes, Nick already knew that you could cancel

after the date of the flight, but what we didn't know is do you really get the cancellation

for free afterwards if you have Life Miles Plus?

And Lisa wrote in to answer that. She says, me again. You asked on your show whether I had to pay a no-show fee when I canceled my two Life Miles flights. I did have to pay a $25 fee for each flight, but they said this was a Star Alliance service charge, which is always non-reimbursable. They never mentioned a no-show fee.
