Pack a bag with the essentials, go to the airport and get a ticket to the next available flight. See where life takes you! 🛫

Look at transferring your points before you book!! Check to see which conversion rate is most favorable then check the airline to see where they have deals on destination travel. Those points will get you something nice for sure!

Bump also from nyc

Got about the same and never found anything good

Think about Flying Blue’s deals, Aeroplan redemptions to Europe, Virgin Atlantic for ANA first class, etc.

I take the opposite approach. I determine a list of places I want to go, and find if my points cover. On all points, (from DC area) I’ve gone to Cozumel, Milan, Lima, and will be going to St. Maarten, in a 3 year period of time. Just reloaded and am already searching for a Valentine’s Day trip. Don’t let the points rule you, but let them help you.
