Cheapest Flights and Awards To & From Cuba
March 9, 2015
I'm considering a trip to Cuba in April because I fall under one of the 12 categories of Americans that now have a general license to visit Cuba: journalistic activity. (See the US State Department's information on visiting Cuba. This post is not suggesting you should.)
I've been looking into the cheapest ways to get to Cuba with miles or cash.

Best Ways to Get from South America to Europe
February 23, 2015
I'm intrigued by flights and awards that don't involve America. If there's a cool award to get from Australia to SE Asia, that can be integral to a longer, better, and cheaper trip.
My two favorite continents to explore are South America and Europe.

Master Thread: Off Peak Awards
November 3, 2014
Off peak awards allow us to stretch our miles further by booking discounted awards to select regions during certain pre-determined dates. Off peak awards are offered by several airlines, and this post will put all the off peak awards I know of in one place.
While off peak awards are often less desirable dates, there are some off peak dates that are actually my favorite times to visit a country.

The Coolest Thing You Can Do with 60k Miles
September 7, 2014
Last week I urged people to be realistic with their miles and listed The Easiest Places to Get with Miles. Today I'm telling you to dream big and to look to do things with miles that you couldn't easily or cheaply do without miles.
For instance, for 60,000 miles, you can book yourself a "triangle trip" that lets you practice your Spanish in Chile and Spain.

Gold Mine Award Space to All of Argentina
September 3, 2014
Edit 9/3/14: Readers are reporting that Air France and Delta cannot ticket all the space shown on airfrance.us. There may be some sort of glitch. I'll try to get to the bottom of this.
Award space is wide open in economy and business class between the United States and Argentina for the next 11 months, including award space over the peak December to March summer period.
You can book this award space on wide-open Aerolineas Argentinas flights with your Delta or Flying Blue miles.
Do This to Avoid an Error When Transferring ThankYou Points
August 28, 2014
I got an error when I tried to transfer ThankYou Points to Air France Flying Blue miles. A Citi representative called me to let me know that my transfer would be cancelled, and I could re-initiate at my leisure.
The problem was that I had put my 10 digit Flying Blue number in when asked my Flying Blue number.
Only Flying Blue Award Chart Online
August 27, 2014
Yesterday I wrote that Citi ThankYou Points had added Air France Flying Blue as a 1:1 transfer partner.
That's big news because there are some amazing high value uses for Flying Blue miles, and ThankYou Points are so easy to earn from the Citi ThankYou® Premier Card with its 40,000 point sign up bonus and 3x category bonus on travel and gas purchases.
When I was researching that post though, I couldn't find Flying Blue's complete award chart.

August 13, 2014
This is the twentieth post in a monthlong series that started here. Each post will take about two minutes to read and may include an action item that takes the reader another two minutes to complete. I am writing this for an audience of people who know nothing about frequent flyer miles, and my goal is that by the end, you know enough to fly for free anywhere you want to go.
I’ve covered how to earn miles and the redemption options for miles.
