The Point of Points

One more summer trip with the whole crew in the books. The girls scratched another country off their list and I scratched off another airline. Normally Swiss charges about $250 for the throne seats, but , you can select them for free during your online check in process. Got thrones for my wife and I and the girls sat together.

We’re back! knocks it out of the park again with the best suite upgrade bang-for-the-buck. Check another aspirational redemption off the list. Scenery pics tomorrow…kinda hazy today.

What’s better than First Class? Cockpit Class.

This place can’t be real. This is some farmer’s view out of his back porch. Insane.

And we’re off. 2A will have to do for this trip. Got the whole family up front again for 41k MR per person with some Lifemiles transfer bonus stacking. Can’t wait to get to the mountains!

Coming soon…the much delayed/cancelled family Europe trip that’s 2.5 years in the making.

Trying something new.

Sometimes the point of points isn’t a first class suite; sometimes it’s just about a Suite. I took advantage of shortcut to top level Globalist status for 2021 and got a big payoff for New Year’s at with an ocean view suite for the standard award rate. Unbelievable resort!

The catering leaves a bit to be desired, but 3 windows is always great!

First trip in well over a year was a success!

provided the wonderfully ‘suite’ views, and provided the hospitality and scenery!

I’m currently putting the finishing touches on the main legs of our own family’s summer vacation. There are some exciting deals to be had out there! I was able to get confirmed transatlantic legs in First for 4 passengers one direction, and 4 more in Business in the other. The real win here is t...

Can we just fast-forward through the Rona and get back to traveling please?!

So you don't have a pool of points yet? Cool, you can still take advantage of the current state of travel affairs to purchase your way to the front of the plane for not much more than British Airways would charge you in Heathrow landing fees!

Yup, you read that right. No points needed for this trick. No credit card signup bonus either. By taking advantage of wide open award availability and leveraging that with some lucrative miles purchasing opportunities, you can buy your way to an award ticket for MUCH less than buying the same ticket...

Lufthansa’s First Class terminal is ridiculous. See a whisky to try, point to whisky to try, receive bottle. Repeat. Incredible sit down dining as well, but we didn’t spend much time in that section. Definitely travel bucket-list material.

Wanderlust is kicking into high gear. We’ll be traveling soon enough.

One last turn on final approach to ORD. Connected here to catch Iberia A340 in Biz over to Madrid.

Throwback all the way to 2005. I was clueless about the journey, but definitely could pick the destinations!.

Can’t wait to get back to Jamaica. Killer views and even more killer sunsets!

It’s definitely not the swankiest way to travel, but opportunities to fly on the upper deck of the amazing 747 are getting fewer and fewer.

The Amalfi Coast is as beautiful as you’ve read/heard/seen.

Yes please.

Doesn’t get much classier then Lufthansa First. Unfortunately the DFW-FRA flight has been downgraded to a 3 class A330 with no F. Was a real treat to snag this ticket.
