It was spoken as a nonrev traveler who just wants to get to her destination but I am also someone who doesn't want to break out the wallet. I put $300 into my car the week I left on vacation so all my spending money went away. I did 9 days, 27,000 miles and 3 continents on $80.
3 continents? On 80 beans? Now that's my kind of non rever. I don't like to bust out the wallet either especially when I have travel privileges. Why spend money on tickets when you can fly standby and use the money on vacation right?
