"An indispensable primer, crammed full of practical, useful information on one of my favorite subjects—frequent flyer programs—by two of my favorite experts in the industry, Randy Petersen and Tim Winship." Joe Sharkey, business travel columnist, The New York Times
 
"When it comes to understanding the dark science of airline mileage programs, and then explaining it even to mega frequent flyers like myself, Petersen and Winship are my pilots of choice. For those earning miles, and even more importantly, for those trying to redeem them, this book is a must-read." Peter Greenberg, travel editor, NBC's Today Show

”Having Randy Petersen and Tim Winship write about the airlines and frequent flyer programs is like having Warren Buffett and Bill Gates write an advice book on investing and entrepreneurship. Both gentlemen individually possess an unlimited fountain of knowledge and insight into the ever-changing world of frequent flyer programs. By combining their talents, they create a treasure chest full of advice and wisdom for anyone trying to better understand the frequent flyer world.” Keith L. Alexander, "Business Class" columnist, The Washington Post

Whether you are a business traveler trying to manage several loyalty programs, or a leisure traveler wanting to make the most of your hard-earned miles, Mileage Pro is an indispensable tool that belongs in every traveler's library.”  Christopher Elliott, National Geographic Traveler's Ombudsman
