My former award booking partner Steve (some of you know him as “beaubo” on Flyertalk) literally wrote the book on 30 years of leveraging the biggest miles and points exploits.
One lesson he always reminds me is that if it’s a good deal, you should think about how it might scale. And right now Scandinavian is offering 1 million miles for flying on 15 different SkyTeam airlines. You can redeem most long haul destinations on their flights for 50,000 miles in business class, with no fuel surcharges. So 1 million miles is pretty good.
The hard thing here isn’t making an itinerary work! That can be done for a few thousand dollars.It’s the time it takes to do all of this travel if you weren’t doing that anywayAnd of course there’s a risk that an itinerary falls apart.
Someone willing to take on a little bit of risk can arbitrage the first and second problems by finding other people willing to do the travel and funding it. That person is Steve.
His idea is to look for some folks willing to travel. He’ll fund the travel and he will follow all of the rules of the programs on mileage earning and redemption. So if you’d like a ‘free’ set of round the world flights, it’ll be worth connecting with Steve. You just won’t use the miles yourself. He buys the ticket like an employer might, you do the travel.
