In 2016 my goal was to review as many new airlines as possible, and that's something I want to continue into 2017. So I figured I might as well get my year off to a good start, and plan a heck of a trip for the first week of the year. The primary motivation of…

Cant wait to see the EgyptAir report!
When will you fly Virgin Australias new Business?
@evan -
And why shouldn't he? It's a region full of spectacular natural scenery, vibrant cities and wonderful hospitality.
Will you be posting a trip report for when you went to Cambodia? Or was that a true personal trip?
I have mixed feelings about some of these airlines. They are the national airlines of countries with horrendous human rights records. These are not great places for LGBT people, and in fact, can be dangerous. While I love flying, period, I don't think I'll travel with these airlines (or Aeroflot) anytime soon. And yes, before the trolling starts, I know that the USA has done/does a lot of pretty horrendous things as well.
@BG - Why should Lucky care about LGBT people? He is a credit card salesman/blogger.
It will be a rough years to come with major US programs going revenue, cc bonus restrictions, and, undoubtedly, future devaluations.
Lucky, can you share your plans on strategy revisions after AS and BoA will follow the herd?
Love your reviews, Regards, Tony
So, you get those miles from Credit Card companies free in exchange for advertisement?
It is impossible that on top of these crazy travels that you would actually fly Alaska, AA, UA and all the other airlines, (Money and Time), so much that you would earn all those miles. It is next to impossible. I have traveled on my own so much and I even spend time and enjoy the places, but it is next to impossible to earn all those miles, unless you are a millionaire (then you would not need to blog and sell credit cards) or you work for an airline. And you have plenty of free time!
So, please tell us that you do get the miles from let's say Bank of America (they credit your Alaska account) in exchange for advertisement and then you fly on those miles. Or Airlines comp you these trips and you pretend that it is done with miles??? Which one is it?
@ Alan -- Since you've mentioned this a few times now, this post might help you: https://onemileatatime.com/
Ben also talks about how he funds his travel here: https://onemileatatime.com/trip-report-index/
And in our advertising policy here: https://onemileatatime.com/one-mile-time-advertising-policy/
Great info, by the way. Thks.
I am curious. When you find those cheap fares, i.e. ex-CAI or ex-KUL, can those fares be purchased being US based, or do you have to spoof the airline website via a VPN connection?
