Don't Toss That Boarding Pass
That trash could be treasure

Athens Airport Have A Nice Flight Sign

The Eleftherios Venizelos (Athens) airport at Spata - a wish for travelers to have a nice flight.

I've just spent ten minutes on the phone reclaiming missing frequent flyer miles. With all the technology today, you'd think this would be easy - give your name, they find your flights, confirm you were on them, post your miles.

But at least at this particular major American carrier, if I hadn't had my boarding passes, stubs, baggage stickers, and general flight ephemera all safely tucked away in my tax receipts bag, I would have been out of luck.

So keep all of that "evidence" of your flight - if your miles haven't been properly posted, it may be the only way to claim your rightful miles.
