Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Do you know that a FREE award flight, for example NY to Maui, entitles you to enjoy a second 'extra' FREE flight ie. from Maui to San Franfisco or to any other U.S. destination before your final FREE flight home?

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

We booked RT FREE Maui flights + extra FREE flights to NY. Our friends with the same miles available for free flights were denied and had to pay $700 EACH.
