Article Abstract:
Individuals wanting to use their frequent-flier mileage for dream vacations in summer 2000 are being forced to dole out more than the usual number of credit mileage in order to make the trip. This is due to the usual crush of travelers at this time of year despite the move by airline companies to offer additional seats to meet demands. Airline representatives as well as seasoned travelers advise frequent fliers to keep trying, be flexible, look to partner airlines and to try to book coach.
