Earn Frequent Flyer Miles - The Best Way to Get Free Trips

In today's world, where you can get free travel from any place that offers free travel certificates it seems that when it comes to earn frequent flyer miles people has lost a bit the feeling for it. Don't turn back to them, as they are still useful. Even if you can get many flights for free, for some of the flights that you take you may need to pay the full price. For example, you can't use a same travel certificate twice in a same year, so if you want to do 2 big trips in a year one of them will need to be payed in full and the other can be free.

A good strategy in this occasion would be to use a hotel travel certificate for the second trip and get the stay for free and at same time pay full for your flight in order to earn frequent flyer miles that in the future will be able to give you a free flight.

In any case, the question many people have is about how difficult is it to earn frequent flyer miles in order to redeem them for free tickets. I must be sincere, and really you need to travel long distances in order to make a good deal. For example, for a trip between the UK and Eastern Asia you can expect to get about 6,000 miles per one way. Normally you will do the both ways, so you can expect to get 12,000.

This number does not make sense if we don't compare it with the number of miles you need to do this same trip for free. And this number is about 5 times larger, about 65,000 miles. In the end this means that for every 5 times you fly this route you will get the same free flight.

At first sight it could seem quite impossible. First of all because you are not going to fly this route 5 times. Of course not, and nobody asks you to do so. You can fly any of the routes that this airline cover in order to win miles and you also can fly any of the routes of their partner airlines. There are basically 3 big aliances of airlines. One World, SkyTeam and Star Alliance. Every one of them has some of the most important air carriers. The best strategy in order to redeem miles for traveling is to always try to book your trips with one of their careers.

If for example you buy a ticket from London to Korea with Korean Air, then if one day you need to fly from London to Mexico you should take AeroMexico and not British Airways, because AeroMexico is in the same group (SKyTeam) that Korean Air belongs to.

This possibility opens a lot the doors to earn frequent flyer miles and being able to redeem them. At same time, instead of trying to earn a lot of miles to redeem them for a long trip, you can earn frequent flyer miles when going on long trips and redeem them for local trips within your country or region.

After all this, there is still another well known way to earn frequent flyer miles nowadays, which is by credit card. I don't want to make any publicity, but simply go yourself an check which credit cards are offering a program in which every single thing you buy gives you miles that you can accumulate with the others for flying. If you think about your expenses and you try to put all them on your credit card, the result can be amazing and you can be flying for free more often than you expect.

In any case, and as I opened this article, the world of travel certificate keeps beating everything else, simply because with 3 clicks you have a travel certificate, with 2 clicks more you can redeem it and filling in a form you have your free vacations. The problem is to locate the right places where they offer these travel certificates for free, but I know a some good websites where you can do that, so it shouldn't be a problem for the lucky ones who are reading this article.
