American Airlines sues a travel site to crack down on consumers who use this trick to save money

69. It sounds like you have it worked out! And you know it's not easy.

I understand. I've spent so much time on planes & flown all around the world, it can be challenging to figure out what works best.

Usually I felt like I was in reasonably good hands, exept for Air China domestic flights to remote parts of the country where the only other option was a 6-hour boat ride up a river followed by 4-5 hours bouncing on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere, which yes, I did once.

That was the only time in all my travels our corporate accounting department called me to confirm the numbers on my expense report were correct, & yes, the "all you can eat dumpling breakfast" was $0.50, at the exchange rate I got from the guy on the street corner, because if you're smart you know the locals pay a significant premium for US$ so you don't use banks to exchange currency there.

Oh the memories!
