While I almost always fly coach when traveling domestically, flying coach Internationally is just an awful experience. It is virtually impossible to sleep in a coach class seat and if you do, you won’t sleep long. Whether you are traveling internationally for business or pleasure, you don’t want to land feeling exhausted and aching all over.
盡管在國(guó)內(nèi)，我絕大多數(shù)坐普通艙飛行，然而坐普通艙跨國(guó)飛行真是很可怕的體驗(yàn)。你很難在普通艙睡覺(jué)，如果你真的睡的話，你也不會(huì)睡的很長(zhǎng)。無(wú)論你出國(guó)做生意還是旅游，你都不會(huì)希望在著落的時(shí)候感到疲勞或者全身酸痛
Compare saving $1500 by redeeming your miles for five domestic coach tickets to using those same miles to fly first class anywhere in the world you’ve dreamed of visiting. If there is someplace on your “Bucket List” you want to go, now would be the time to get your airline credit cards and start saving your miles. Even if it takes you five or more years to save enough miles, it will be well worth it.
就拿用積累的的里程去兌換五次國(guó)內(nèi)普通艙飛機(jī)票而省下1500美元與使用同樣的里程坐頭等艙飛去你夢(mèng)想的地方對(duì)比。如果，在你的夢(mèng)想清單里邊有些地方要去，那么現(xiàn)在就是你辦理航空公司信用卡的時(shí)間，開(kāi)始積累里程。及時(shí)會(huì)花費(fèi)你五年或者更久才能積累足夠的里程，那么，這是非常值的。
The second best value for your miles is to use them to fly first class to Alaska (redeem 50,000 miles) and third best value is first class to Hawaii (80,000 miles).
第二種最好發(fā)揮里程價(jià)值的途徑就是使用這些里程坐頭等艙飛往阿拉斯加(積累5萬(wàn)里程)第三選擇就是坐頭等艙飛往夏威夷(80000英里)
While my wife and I selected American and United, every airline offers credit cards. There are also credit card companies such as Capital One, where you can use your miles on any airline. The downside is they require a lot more miles for both domestic and international trips. My advice is to select a credit card that is offered through a major international airline. Even if they don’t fly where you ultimately want to go, more than likely they will have a partner airline that does.
盡管我跟我的老婆選擇選擇美國(guó)以及美國(guó)聯(lián)合航空公司，每個(gè)航空公司其實(shí)都是有提供信用卡的。有一些信用卡公司譬如”captial one “通過(guò)這些公司你可以在任何航空公司使用你的里程。缺點(diǎn)就是國(guó)內(nèi)外旅途你需要花費(fèi)更多的里程。我建議你選擇大型的航空公司提供的信用卡，這樣的花，及時(shí)他們最終沒(méi)有去你最終想要去的地方，他們很有可能有一些合作公司去這些地方。
My last tip is to always book your free tickets as far in advance as you can. The airlines limit the number of seats available per flight for people redeeming miles.
我最好一條建議就是盡早的預(yù)定你的免費(fèi)機(jī)票。航空公司每班航班提供限量的里程兌換座位
While I realize this lesson was a bit more pragmatic than the others, I hope you will be able to put my recommendations to the test. When you experience what it’s like to sit in first class on an International flight and land refreshed, you will know that little things matter. For the best hotel deals anywhere in the world, go to Hotel Deal Site.
盡管我認(rèn)為這節(jié)課的內(nèi)容比其他的更加實(shí)用，我希望你能幫我的建議付諸實(shí)踐。當(dāng)你體驗(yàn)到坐在頭等艙跨國(guó)飛行并且著落的也很精神煥發(fā)是什么感覺(jué)的時(shí)候，你就會(huì)知道小事卻有大作用。去酒店訂購(gòu)網(wǎng)訂購(gòu)世界任何地方的最好旅店。
Don’t just use your miles to save money; use them to improve the quality of your life.
不要僅僅用你的里程節(jié)約錢，嘗試下用它們提高生活質(zhì)量。
