American Airlines’ AAdvantage frequent flyer program is one of my favourites. Being able to redeem AA miles for travel on Etihad Airways or Qatar Airways and their fantastic First Class and Business Class products is the main reason why I love AAdvantage. While American Airlines miles are a bit harder to collect than United Airlines […]
United Airlines MileagePlus Distance-Based Sweetspots
United Airlines MileagePlus is my go-to program for redeeming Economy Class awards to Europe or Asia. With great redemption rates and 1:1 instant transfers from Chase Ultimate Rewards, MileagePlus provides some fantastic deals when redeeming for Economy Class flights. Sadly the same can’t be said for Business Class or First Class bookings through MileagePlus. United […]
The Best Award Ticket Sweetspots
Every frequent flyer program has a sweetspot. Whether it is a simple or complex redemption, there is always a frequent flyer program that works best for the award ticket you want to book. The key is having access to miles in that specific program – this is where it becomes incredibly important to ensure you […]
SkyTeam Alliance: An Overview
SkyTeam is the last airline alliance to be founded (behind Star Alliance and oneworld). The SkyTeam alliance arguably doesn’t have many “world-class” airlines, whereas Star Alliance and oneworld have some incredible airlines. I would argue Air France and Delta are the best airlines in this alliance. SkyTeam airlines operate flights to more than 1,000 […]
Transferring Membership Rewards Points To Someone Else
When you first discovered the power of points and miles and booked your first, almost free trip, no doubt you were hooked and ready for more. You may have wondered if there was a way to accumulate points quicker in order to book more trips, or to take someone along with you. Well, the answer […]
Earning, Redeeming, and Elite Benefits with Alaska Global Partners
Seattle’s Hometown Airline, Alaska Airlines, is arguably the world’s most unique airline in terms of partnerships it has created. Alaska Airlines operates their own flights within the United States and to Canada, Mexico, and Costa Rica. The airline is not a member of any major airline alliance and instead has formed interesting partnerships with many […]
oneworld: An Alliance Overview
Star Alliance remains the world’s #1 airline alliance in terms of passenger benefits, airlines, loyalty, etc. The world’s next important airline alliance is oneworld. While oneworld is certainly not as big as Star Alliance, it remains the world’s second most important airline alliance in terms of connecting people and ideas all over the world. […]
Alternatives When There’s No Award Availability
You’ve built up a massive amount of frequent flyer miles over the past year through flying, staying with hotels, renting cars, and spending money on your credit card. Now it is time to book and you’re frustrated that there’s no award availability on your desired date between your origin and destination. You’re not the […]
How To Add Your Family To Your ANA Account
When you have a few award bookings under your belt, you really get a sense of the power of your points. With that, you want to share this joy with your family and friends. You may even go as far as using your points to book their flights. While most airline loyalty programs allow this, […]
Star Alliance: An Overview
The world’s “big” three, most important airline alliances include Star Alliance, oneworld, and SkyTeam. Star Alliance is the world’s largest airline alliance with 27 member airlines and the strongest route network.
