Airlines, [or any business], don't just pass on profit they make on tickets they sell you. That bonus profit goes straight to the bottom line and is enjoyed by the shareholders who might or might not donate it to some charity you like: <The money the airlines saves on me isn't wasted... Learn some economics dude... It just allows them to offer better deals to others so THEY can donate that way I'd THEY want... ir not... it doesnt just DISAPPEAR!!! > You are right that the money they save on you isn't wasted. It goes to somebody who values the money more highly, which is a very good thing as they will make better use of it that you will do. When people don't care about something, they waste it. I can't be bothered trying to get all the marketing gimmick cost savings because the effort is not worth my time. But I'm not going to pretend to myself that the money I don't bother with goes to "better deals for others" or donations to something that I'd think is a good idea. That's the reason for such marketing - to separate the people who will go to a lot of effort to get the little bit of discount from those who are not sensitive to price and just pay whatever is asked.

Jeez... You are lame... Trusts and tax shelters help you save money on taxes... LOL!! First you call me lame, and then attempt to add "tax shelters" to the original items of discussion which was "trusts" and "trusts ONLY". Now you attempt to sneak in "tax shelters" LOL!!... Non of my trusts have ever saved me a dime in taxes. I don't bother with them... Hence pay a little more, but don't mind... Get it?? Well, you have to own substantial assets for the actual need for a trust. Assets that are "free and clear" that will ultimately be transfered to your heirs or charity. So since your trailer is leased, then you have no need for a trust. Having assets held in a trust doesn't increase or decrease your tax obligations. Course not... You seem to lack basic reading skills. Simply you poorly educated opinion.. As for your dopey FF analysis, you ARE small minded!! You call donating frequent flyer miles to kids needing to travel for life saving medical emergencies "Doppey"¿¿ Sad, very sad, and this tells us what kind of person you are.... Just so sad. The money the airlines saves on me isn't wasted... Learn some economics dude... It just allows them to offer better deals to others so THEY can donate that way I'd THEY want... ir not... it doesnt just DISAPPEAR!!! LOL!! Let's not get into economics, because it appears you can't even compose a coherent sentence. "so THEY can donate that way I'd THEY want... ir not..." LOL!! I see you have quite a bad case of the typical wingNut limited resources syndrome... I see you have a bad case of left wing GED edumatation. Probably live in someplace like Gila Bend¿¿ Anyway... Enjoy counting your beans, I gotta make the last leg of my flight here... the last one was late cause bean counters like you trying to jam their whole lives into the overhead bins made us late! Lol!!! Don't do that any more ok... Check your bags... Lifetime Plantinum... No cost to check bags! Lots of miles to donate for needy kids and no cost checked bags for me.. Seems like a Win/ Win... DON"T BE SO BITTER!! And so it goes, PCSTEL
