I found these two articles... much of it I knew already...

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/frequent-flier-miles--best-airlines-for-cashing-in-200357859.html

http://travel.yahoo.com/ideas/free-things-on-planes-you-didn-t-know-you-could-get-193058348.html

Such BS.

"United has availability 80% of the time, but US air only 36%".

Can someone explain how someone can write that?

Same way they write some "free stuff" is medical assistance ::)

If you knew that already then I'm afraid to tell you that you know a whole lot of BS.

Actually at the time of the post I had only skimmed that article, but was referring to the 'free things' article when I wrote "much of it I knew already..."

Pull what off? Something out of thin air?
The times that I've asked they've told me that they haven't done that since before 9/11 or since I was a little kid, etc.

My nieces and nephew got wings last time they flew.  Can't remember what airline. I think it was LH.

I've seen kids getting wings, but I think they were more like a sticker in the back and not a pin type.

I'm sure there are airlines like LH that would still have 'em (Heck SQ gives free toys to all kids on the plane) but the domestic airlines don't AFAIK.

I've almost always received for LX/OS without asking. Pretty sure my kid was offered wings on my recent DL BE flight
