As portion of an email exchange with Ben the other day,he mentioned “once in a lifetime” tourists while explaining his perspective on whether there is a market for £16 tours of the Concorde. I suspect he is right, but don’t think I’d ever pay that much to walk through a plane.
I was amused by his choice of words because I contain a pet peeve about people describing a trip I’m planning as “once in a lifetime.” I think it is such a depressing plan and it’s one of the reasons I spend so much time collecting, and managing and maximizing my miles and points.
I know this has the potential to sound elitist and that’s definitely not my intention. Instead,I hope this is more of a lesson in how having healthy miles and points balances can allow you to enjoy your travel even more.
I’m sure I’m not alone in feeling travel is transformational. It’s why my wife and I fade through the considerable effort of packing up our kids and taking them to unusual places.
