Post 10 – Searching for deals. Mistake fares. Mileage runs.
I think of all the posts that we’ll be doing in this series, this is probably one of the most important ones. For us, finding cheap airfare or a mistake fare is a victory. Sometimes when we book travel we don’t even have a destination in mind. We just look for the cheap tickets and then end up planning the destination around that. In this post, we’ll show you how to search for cheap fares, how to take advantage...
Post 8 – Importance of Status and Elite Benefits

Post 7 – Aspirational rewards and Good Mileage Values
I hope that by now you’ve come to realize that points and miles truly are a vehicle to not only get you home to see the aunts and uncles for the holidays, but also as a way to go on the dream vacations that you’ve heard about or read about online. Have you heard of the double decker airplane that has a shower onboard? Or the plane that has a full bar onboard? What about the plane that has a bed in first class instead of...

In this post, we’ll peel back some of the layers to get at the heart of...

Post 4, Other ways to earn miles besides flying
At this point you should have chosen your program, have a basic understanding of how it works, and also how to earn on your airline and your partner airlines. But what if you’re like 95% of Americans who only get 1 or 2 weeks vacation a year (and knowing you, you probably don’t take it all – SHAME!!!) and you want to earn more miles without actually taking the time to get on an airplane? 1. How to choose your best program. 2....
Post 3 – Earning and Redeeming on Partners
In my opinion, one of the best ways to utilize and maximize a frequent flier program is by using their air partners to both use and redeem miles. Now, we are going to go a little in depth here with this post, but it should all be very clear by the end! You’ll leave this post hopefully knowing about how to use airline partners with your favorite plan to earn a bunch of miles for your next flight. 1. How to choose your best program....
Post 2 – Understanding how your Program works
Hopefully after reading the first post, you’ve made the choice of your main program based on the criteria suggested. Now that you’ve decided on an airline, it’s important to know the guts of the program, how it works for you, and more importantly, how you accumulate those precious miles.
