For me the travel part isn't that big a deal. I was going to be home this summer anyway. Positive Space from a U.S airport seems fair. I think part of it is that they don't want to deal with ticketing issues overseas and all that it may entail with security etc etc.
Regarding travel benefits, yes that does. I will consider AAG but knowing that there won't be travel benefits after retirement makes ENDV and others equally appealing, since I am not concerned about the flow as much due to age and stage in life.
