Pros: Great Customer Service
Cons: Not always able to take a direct flight using points

Cons: limited flight schedule if not VERY flexible.

I live in a fairly small city; the local airport only has connecting flights to two major metro airports, so there are no direct flights to any other airports other than those two Hubs. I prefer to fly out of my local small airport to save three hours ...
