THIS IS HOT! The best deal ever I’ve heard from Cathay Pacific or Dragonair for award redemption discounts. It’s valid on most routings except the major long-haul cities listed below. Economy passenger loads are probably really light and under expectation for them to be promoting this, which is good for us customers! While the travel period is supposed to be March 1 ...

I needed to book a ticket from Sapporo CTS to Tokyo HND one way on specifically Japan Airlines. I wanted to see which program would cost the least for an award ticket. Asia Miles won’t even allow a one-way ticket with JL, so it would cost 15,000 roundtrip. American Airlines charges 7,500 AAdvantage miles, not too bad. United charges 6,000 miles one way, ...

US Airways 100% Bonus is a great offer. If you’re traveling long-haul, especially on business class I think it’s a great value since you can redeem them on all of the Star Alliance partners, including Singapore Airlines and ANA! Originally this was targeted but I’m assuming not many people bought the miles so now it’s open to everyone! Key Points: ... Read More »
Friends always ask me how I am able to fly around the world so much redeeming my miles. I tell them it’s because of credit cards, but it’s not that I’m spending over $100,000 USD each year racking up miles, it’s due to the bonuses for signing up for a new card.
