The best Use of My Miles is during Emergency and Last minute travel and I Love It
This past week I was in the UK packing the last belongings from my house and now I am kind of a ‘digital nomad’ living in hotels.

I am sure Americans cannot relate to this much but for a European person who pays so much in flight taxes I just love how cheap it is to use Avios there. I recently booked some flights with Avios in the US and the shocking price of taxes came to only £3 per person. Like really???

Avios: Why I love short haul redemptions
Avios is my favorite loyalty program as it is so easy to collect and burn them. For those who don't know much about Avios, they are like the old Airmiles with a funkier name.
