"I know people who have a passion for new routes, new aircraft, new carriers, etc., but that's low income apartment rentals not me," says Scott Mackenzie, who runs the blog HackMyTrip. "If sitting on a plane for a day means I get an upgrade or a free flight in the future, that's a fair trade."

First run: "My very first mileage low income apartment rentals run was as a kid," says Singh.

Greatest run: " One Friday night I left work, flew to Dubai, arrived low income apartment rentals Saturday night, spent 24 hours driving over 500 miles to each of the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates, each counting low income apartment rentals as a country for the Travelers Century Club," recalls Krasowski. low income apartment rentals "I flew back Sunday night and went straight into the office Monday morning. 16,000 miles flown, seven countries visited, awesome memories, no vacation days used."
The goal: Travel to every country in the world while holding down a full-time job. "Many of these trips include airfares, often for the shortest flight, that would be prohibitively expensive without being able to redeem miles for them," says Krasowski.
Craziest run: "Sears happened to be having a big promotion low income apartment rentals that day in which they were offering 10 points per dollar through Chase's Ultimate Rewards Mall, and so I spent the day not just flying, but blogging about my online shopping experiences as well," Davis-Kean recalls.

The goal: Keep high elite status with Delta. "With Platinum status, Delta allows free changes to award tickets (up to 72 hours in advance)," making those miles more valuable.

Best run: Visiting Spokane, Wash. three times over five days. "I was flying in First class the whole time, back and forth from Minneapolis or Chicago and bouncing all over the USA to get there.

The goal: Maintain that status. "Combined with an attractive low income apartment rentals award chart and great global coverage, either directly or with partners, I've yet to find an award trip I couldn't low income apartment rentals make work using my points."
Tip: Chase the fare, not the destination. "Assuming the price per mile rates work, I don't really care if I'm headed to Portland, Singapore, Geneva or Istanbul, all of which I've done in the past several low income apartment rentals weeks."
Worst run: "I was flying from Seattle to Washington, DC, via Charlotte, then directly back on United nonstop," says Mackenzie. "My red-eye on United was overbooked, and they wanted to put me on a nonstop low income apartment rentals flight in first class. I turned it down because those few extra miles connecting through Charlotte were critical ... I regretted my decision as the flight was delayed three hours and the gate changed several times. It was like that scene in 'Airplane' where people run along the airport from gate to gate."
Tip: Book first and ask questions later. "Most airlines will let you cancel low income apartment rentals within 24 hours for a full refund, and the rest will allow you to at least put it on hold for 24 hours without paying," he says.

And I did the same trip the following week!"
Favorite airport: low income apartment rentals Singapore's Changi Airport. "It's beautiful, has fantastic airline lounges, a transit hotel, incredible shopping, a nature trail, movie theatre, swimming pool, twister slide and free tours of Signapore are available to transit passengers."
Tip: Expect some delays for connections. "The 45-minute 'minimum' connection time at some airports low income apartment rentals airline low income apartment rentals require is simply not enough time these days. I always try to plan for two-hour connections."

I want the Southwest Companion Pass because then my husband and baby can fly with me for free."
