Although tourists are flocking to the infamous Minneapolis airport men's room where Larry Craig was arrested, they won't catch a glimpse of the Idaho Republican — he reportedly flies through the Denver airport nowadays.1

I suppose it makes sense — there are no direct D.C.-Boise flights, and none of Northwest's other hubs connect to Boise.

But this creates a problem for the senator, because now that he seems to be flying to Idaho on United instead of Northwest Airlines, I wonder what will happen to all his Northwest frequent-flier miles.

Couple years ago I was stoked that I could use my worldperks miles on Midwest. Apparently the list ends at M so no United...
