Miles are easy.
Fitting your whole family
on one flight isn't.

We turn a stack of miles into a real trip for everyone — not just one lucky seat. Every traveler, every generation, actually booked.

Four seats on one flight rarely open together. We found a workaround — that's exactly what this site walks you through.

leg 02 · why it's different with a family

It's not just you anymore.

Most points advice is written for one traveler chasing one seat. Bring a family, and everything gets harder in three specific ways.

01

Finding enough seats

Award seats usually open one or two at a time, not four in a row. Getting everyone on the same flight takes a different kind of search.

02

The right trip, not just the best deal

A great points value isn't a good trip if it's a 2am connection with a tired eight-year-old. Family redemptions get judged on the itinerary.

03

Coordinating a whole family

Grandparents on one program, cousins on another, ten opinions on dates — pulling everyone's points together is its own skill.

leg 03 · what makes us different

Points content isn't hard to find. Content built for families is. The big blogs optimize one traveler's next redemption. Concierge services will book your seats for a fee — and you learn nothing. We sit in between: real help with the family-specific stuff, at a price that isn't a concierge fee.

The mega-blogs
Huge archives, written for one traveler optimizing one trip. Family logistics are an afterthought.
Concierge services
Will book the trip for $150–500+ per ticket. You learn nothing, and none are built for families.
