New Beginnings from MileValue
August 26, 2020
Hey MileValue readers! It's been a little while, and the world looks more than a little different since the last time we spoke. Things are looking different for this website as well, with new ownership and a new era on the horizon.
When COVID-19 started to spread across North America in March--and the pandemic took hold--things behind the scenes for us shifted quickly and drastically, as they did for many businesses.

I've always been a terrible photographer, which you might have noticed from my reviews of First Class flights, but I've enjoyed others' photography more than any other visual art.

25 Euro Flight Sale
Air Baltic has a sale for flights booked by February 14, 2017 and flown March 9 to April 10 with fares starting at 25 euros. Example fares:

Rio Gallegos airport is 3:22 driving from Puerto Natales, Chile.
2017 Travel Goals
January 1, 2017
Greetings from Patagonia!
With 2016 in the books, and my rundown of last year’s travel here, I thought I’d share my upcoming travel plans.
I pretty much know exactly where I’ll be in January and half of February, see a few options for the rest of February and March, and then have no idea what I’ll do from April on.
