My business partner just rolls his eyes when I mention mileage runs. Not sure what I’m talking about? CLICK HERE. This is the first of four mileage runs I have planned this spring – all transcontinental flights, and number one is Boston. The fare was $256.00 roundtrip. That works out to 2,496 each way for […]
