My friends and colleagues often rib me for having tastes that tend toward the luxurious. Why, they ask, am I always posting from first-class seats with a glass of Champagne in hand?
The truth is, I fly coach as much as anyone. I just don't Instagram about it since … we all know what coach seats look like.
Most recently, I booked a "unicorn" award flying Qantas first class from Los Angeles to Melbourne, Australia, snagging a seat for 130,000 miles plus around $20 in taxes and fees that would otherwise have cost nearly $15,000.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
