ANA (All Nippon Airways) is a Japanese airline which offers amazing service and premium seating options. I was fortunate to have some miles left over in my account even after my Round The World trip. They are the only airline where your miles expire 3 years from earning them and...

SFO is my primary home airport and parking at the airport ranges from an exorbanant $18-45 per day depending on the area you choose to park (http://www.flysfo.com/to-from/parking).
