I Just Spent 35k Miles for a Flat Bed to Southern South America
August 7, 2017
Last year I opened an Asiana Visa Signature Card for a very specific reason: to fly flat bed Business Class to "Latin America 2" (Southern South America) for 35,000 miles. I spent $3,000 on the card to unlock the 30k Asiana mile bonus, earned 3k points for the spending it took to get there, and then spent a final $2k on the card to reach a balance of 35,000 Asiana miles.

August 22, 2016
Next month I want to fly Lufthansa First Class from the United States to Europe, like I did a few years ago, because I love the Lufthansa First Class Terminal in Frankfurt, the luxury of sitting in the nose of a 747-8, and the onboard food and drinks.
But I want to do it smartly. Instead of paying 110,000 United miles one way, I want to pay 40,000 Starpoints.

Unless you live under a rock, you've probably heard about the phenomenon called Pokemon GO. It's creating quite a stir as people run around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to bag rare Pokemon. Even if you don't play video games, it's probably caught your attention in some way or another as the application has more users than Twitter, and more hours of engagement by users than Facebook.

Cheapest Way to Fly Lufthansa First Class: 40k Points + $203 Europe to USA
April 7, 2016
Forget paying 110,000 United miles one way for Lufthansa First Class. You can book the same flight for 40,000 points + $203 (and there is even a way to avoid the $203.)
Lufthansa First Class flying from Europe to the United States is a fantastic product.
The onboard First Class product is solid--a step above American carriers and a step below Asian and Middle Eastern carriers.
And the ground experience in Frankfurt is my favorite in the world.
