TRUSTED TOOLS
FOR LUXURY TRAVEL
CORE TOOLS
When it comes to points and miles travel, it's crucial to have a suite of tools to assist you in securing your ideal redemption. While the Award Lounge Courses are one essential tool (duh!), there are some additional tools that further enhance the planning process.
Each of these can be accessed for free, though you will find that the premium options are quite affordable and packed with value. All 3 tools combined will set you back less than $150 USD per year.
P.S. These tools will make the tasks in each course easier to complete - so try them out and get ready to learn!
FREQUENT FLYER TOOL
EXPERT FLYER
With seat maps, flight alerts and much more available at your fingertips, ExpertFlyer really lives up to its name. I use this tool for every trip I plan. The premium subscription is worth the cost, with aircraft change notifications, flexible searching and more.
FREQUENT FLYER TOOL
AWARD WALLET
AwardWallet allows you to track your points and miles through its online portal or apps. You can also keep track of your elite status and travel credits in one place allowing you to easily see what your options are when it comes to travel redemptions.
LIVE FLIGHT TRACKER
FLIGHT RADAR 24
Track thousands of flights around the world in real time. Plus, view routes and aircraft types to see on-time performance and the likelihood of getting the seat configuration you want (not all business class seats are equal!)
EARNING TOOLS
While there's thousands of ways you can earn frequent flyer points, the easiest way is to make some small changes to your daily life.
The services listed below allow you to earn points and miles on accomodation, food delivery, credit cards and dining.
So kick back at home with your takeaway burrito (or poke bowl if that's more your thing) and get learning while you earn.
