How I Scored an $8,967 First Class Ticket for Less Than a Latte — The Untold Hack Airlines Don’t Want You to Know
How I Booked a First Class Ticket Around the World for $5.60
With just a few months until the wedding, I knew I needed to book a flight fast. Unfortunately, Honolulu to Barcelona is not an easy route to fly. Without a direct route, I was looking at two layovers and almost 30 hours of travel time.
- Option 1: Pay $500 or so for the flight in cattle class. 30 hours from airport to airport? Hell to the no.
- Option 2: Pay $8k for a first class ticket. Yeah, I don’t think so.
- Option 3: Pay 5 bucks and let my points do the heavy lifting. Yes please!
Now look, I’m not against flying economy. If I can score a good deal and fall asleep, then I’m happy to pay for a cheap seat. But with 30 hours of travel time ahead of me, and with enough long-haul flights behind me, I knew it was going to be one long, hellish ride in economy.
