Show Notes
Major airlines are eliminating frequent flier miles for basic economy tickets, impacting budget flyers and loyal customers. American, Delta, and United have stopped the practice, while Southwest, JetBlue, and Alaska still allow it at lower rates. This move is seen as a way to push upgrades and compete with ultra-low-cost carriers. Despite the loss of miles, many travelers still prefer majors for better service and routes. Frequent flier points may not be worth much, but there are still ways to earn miles through loyalty status, partner flights, and credit cards.
