I got on later in the evening. My DS was all panicked about getting flights to Calgary to go skiing in February. The prices he was quoting me were dreadful (Air Canada and Westjet). Mom to the rescue. Airmiles (he pays me the cash equivalent for the miles) was $600 cheaper for the two of them. There goes my balance! I still have enough time to earn the miles I need for our May 2018 flights so I'll let him have these ones. He is slowly beginning to see the reason for my obsession with Airmiles earning.
