Flying with kids, especially young toddlers, isn’t always easy. That’s why (most) traveling parents put lots of strategy into what to pack, what toys to bring, where to sit, what airline to fly, etc. Sometimes, despite your best efforts, things don’t go well with toddlers at 36,000 feet.

Cheaper Ways to Get Miles Than Through United’s Latest Promotion

By JT Genter on Dec 29, 2018 04:30 pm
United is running a year-end buy miles promotion with an eye-catching number in the headline: up to an 85% bonus on United MileagePlus miles.
