Let’s be honest - there aren’t enough magazines in the world to use up all the airplane miles that are burning holes in your Frequent Flier accounts.
Happily, the good people at SmarterTravel found two sites that will help you pick the right flight to the right place at the right time to make the most of those miles.
With MileWise, you search for flights just like you would on any other travel site. The difference is that - on top of pointing out the redeyes and nonstops - MileWise will tell you which flights you’d be better off paying for with miles vs. cash.
Superfly takes all of your miles and loyalty program accounts into consideration when giving you results, so you can not only sort by airline and price, but by which flights will earn you the most miles.

The TSA - which has a much more entertaining blog than one might expect - has published its list of the Top Ten ‘Good Catches’ of 2011.
From adorable wildlife to plastic explosives, after reading this, it’s hard to blame them for making us take off our shoes.
