Inventive Premium Ticketing Strategy Nets Business Class for 33.33% LESS Than Coach?

FCF’s Leg Stretch Strategy using miles (which you can now buy cheaply) nets four long-haul segments in Business Class for 100,000 miles—or 80,000 Starpoints—or $455 international one-way tickets in cash if you don’t know what Starpoints are.

We’ve been Leg-Stretching so much lately here at FCF that we’re considering ice-dancing at the next Winter Olympics. This particular Leg Stretch Strategy takes advantage of a round-trip ticket using miles that offers two free stopovers in the U.S. between Europe and South America.

It’s not for everyone, but if you are planning on, say, going to Europe twice this year and South America once in Business Class, or vice versa, this is pure gold, because you can time it so that the “free (home) stopover” lasts as long as you like. But the clock is ticking: The itinerary has to be completed within 12 months.
