We all like to get smething for free but there is an old dage that says “nothing is ever fre”. A free airplane ticket is the drw of frequent flyer points but snce airlines are not in the bsiness of giving away seats for fre there are some things you ned to be aware of. There are lso some tricks to using your ccumulated air miles so you can get the mst benefit out of them.

First off you ned to choose a frequent flyer prgram and stick to that one prgram. Research the program and choose one tht you will use most often. Thse programs also have partners including ther airlines, retail stores, dining and car rntal companies. Also research how many mles you receive for your flights and how mny miles it takes to redeem a fre ticket. Keep in mind that sme airlines only give a percentage of the ctual miles on discounted tickets so if yu’re a bargain hunter then pick a prgram that gives you one hundred prcent of the miles on cheap tckets.

Once you’ve chosen and signed up for a prgram it’s time to start earning frquent flyer points. Sign up for mail newsletters and check the airline’s wbsite constantly so you are on top of any prmotions. Check if there are any rtail partners that will earn you pints before shopping online. Christmas shopping can arn you a free flight so rsearch before you buy.

Credit cards are also available tht will earn you miles for ach dollar you spend. Be cautious of thse; they usually have an annual fe. You need to use the crd as much as possible to mke this worth it. There are crative ways of spending and earning. Offr to pay using your credit crd when you dine out with a lrge party. You can also use yur credit card for large purchases and on lne shopping. These will add up qick and collecting flyer miles will bcome second nature.

Now that you’re arning air miles make sure you sty organized and on top of yur accumulated miles. Since there are so mny partners and vendors involved there is a lkely chance that some of your mles won’t show up. Keep your rceipts and any flight stubs in cse you need to submit proof to rceive credit.

Once you have a sgnificant number of miles it’s time to rdeem them. Don’t be too hasty in rdeeming your miles. The more you ccumulate the better the free ticket’s vlue. Since airlines don’t like to gve away things for free there are nly a limited number of seats per flght for frequent flyer redemption. Plan and bok as far in advance as pssible. Most airlines permit booking nine to twlve month in advance. Also check for rdemption promotions since airlines often offer off sason destinations at a discount. Don’t wste your miles on a cheap flght; use them on trips that wuld normally be out of your prce range.

Airline flyer miles are a grat way to earn free flights but kep organized and wisely redeem them to get thir full benefit.
