Types of Posts You’ll See on This Blog

Share with a friend

A friend of called the other day to ask if she should cancel her trip to Asia because of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and AirAsia QZ8501 flight that went missing.

And she wanted to know why I hadn’t blogged about it.

Long story short I told her that two incidents in a year may seem like a lot but in the grand scope of things, it’s really not that much.  Air travel is safe.  But things can happen.

But the longer conversation was about the types of post you’ll see on this blog.

It’s about the destination and getting there for less

I could write about everything related to travel.  All the news and events that happening.

Express how my heart goes out to the family members of both missing flights. How it’s a horrible tragedy not to mention not having closure might even be worse. And pontificate on other travel matters.

But that’s not what this blog is all about.

And I’m fortunate because I can and do write about travel news and events, but not here.

What You’ll Find On This Blog

Things I post about on this blog are meant to help you travel well for less, get to your destination as cheaply as possible, but without having to give up some luxuries.

Airfare deals

So I post about killer airfare deals, if they last longer than a few hours.  Otherwise it’s better to follow me on Twitter.

Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card

The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is the best card to get started in the world of miles and points. It is the first card you should get to start traveling for free because the welcome offer is 60,000 points after spending $4,000 in the first three months.

 

My favorite perks about this card are earning 5X points on travel when booked through the Chase portal (2X if direct purchase), 3X points on dining, $50 yearly credit on hotels booked through the Chase portal, no foreign transaction fees, and transferring points to 13 airline and hotel partners like Hyatt, United, and Southwest.
