I just used the excursionist to get a book a VIE-CAI-DXB-VIE flight for two with a stops in Cairo and Dubai. It added an extra $32.20 in fees, but it was 5k less miles than a round trip VIE-DXB and we'll get to see the pyramids.
Awesome resource on this perk! I’m saving it for when longer vacations are on the horizon for me and my family. I’m not ambitious enough to plan a trip to Europe while my little guy is still a toddler, hoping he doesn’t try to break into the cockpit when he inevitably plans that one moment escape on a 10+ hour flight haha
I really enjoy channels that put up visuals while going into in-depth explanations. For some reason this is lost on a lot of other travel youtubers. Subscribed and I'll be checking out some of your other videos too
We did this once to go to HNL - we booked a business class ticket of SAL-IAH-HNL using less miles than the same IAH-HNL flight, flew down to SAL the night before on a greatly reduced $18 fare, and then flew SAL-IAH, overnight in IAH, then IAH-HNL
Lani, I used up all my United miles when there was a rumored deval in 2023. I’m sitting on a whopping 4,000 miles left. Maybe I will use a 5/24 slot to get a card to boost up my points balances. As always great video and very well laid out. The Excurionist perk is one even experienced points/miles pros need help understanding all the rules. Lastly graphics, and editing are superb
Lani, I've been resistant to getting US airline cards beyond the lone Delta card I have. But you're causing me to rethink United. Don't do that, I already have it all figured out. Please stop making me rethink my strategy!

Yeah, my son (16 months) did a 6 hour flight fine, but I'm also apprehensive for a 10+ hour flight.

Good stuff as usual Lani. I only have 1424 United Miles but I am flying United to the Meet Up🫡

You’re very thorough Lani! One of the most enjoyable travel channels to watch
Appreciate it! And also appreciate you coming back!
Lani, I used up all my United miles when there was a rumored deval in 2023.

As always great video and very well laid out. The Excurionist perk is one even experienced points/miles pros need help understanding all the rules.

Thanks, Key! Not gonna lie, it was a challenge to try to make this understandable and digestible. Hope I hit the mark🎯
Lani, I've been resistant to getting US airline cards beyond the lone Delta card I have. But you're causing me to rethink United. Don't do that, I already have it all figured out. Please stop making me rethink my strategy!

Thank you for this information! Very informative. My new favorite channel.
I really appreciate that! You're welcome and also, Thank You!
Thanks for sharing this travel hack Lani! I'm for sure be referencing this after I (hopefully) get that 100k bonus on the United business card.
Thanks, Monty! Good luck on that bonus! Yeah, this is an easy way to get a little extra out of a trip!
Thank you again - yay! Awesome hack. I saved this video to I can come back & watch it again :)
You're always welcome, Guadalupe!
The video was sweet but that shirt is sweeter
Haha! Thanks, Jake!
Great tip in using United Airlines!
Thanks!
Your editing and video production really makes your video stand out! Very engaging
Thank you very much!
The Editing is top Notch
Always appreciate you, Sledge!
I believe starting this year, you can now earn miles even when you use miles to book travel with United.
You'll earn Premier Qualifying Points (PQP) and "Miles Traveled" which go towards 'Million Miler' status, but not frequent flyer miles.
Thanks for the clarification, that makes sense.
No problem!!
Have you looked at the united quest card?
Not a bad card at all. I prefer the Explorer card more. Do you have it, or considering getting it?
@@CallMeLani I have the explorer. Was looking at upgrading
Fellow youtubers seem to be the primary audience of most travel youtubers.
we def support one another
First time I see a video explaining the benefit! Great explanation and example! Thank for the information Lani!🫵
Travel Hacking is part of the game too! Super appreciate you, Cesar! Thanks!
