In my last financial travel tip about traveling in style for free, I talked about scoring a free upgrade to a first class flight – just by asking for it.
But that methodology is pretty hit-and-miss when it comes to the art and science of flying for free (or almost free). For that, you need frequent flyer miles, and lots of them.
The good news is you don’t need to fly (and often don’t even need to spend any extra money) to accumulate miles that will get you on that next flight. If you really apply yourself to the accumulation of frequent flyer miles (and there are lots of ways to do it that are actually quite easy), you might find yourself on a long-haul business class flight, enjoying luxury in the sky – all for less than the price of an economy ticket.
To whet your tastebuds for business class travel, here’s a description of my trip from New Zealand to Spain (exactly half-way around the world) in business class last year: My Business Class Travel Adventures – and Using Frequent Flyer Miles
And here’s how you can learn to do the same for yourself:

there are some great deals out there.
If you could, what websites would you
recommend to me to book
the cheapest flights? Thanks in advance.
