3.. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀- Capital One had several partners that flew to Asia, however they cost about 100,000 miles per passenger 😭 So we got creative. We found flights on Google Flights (𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 𝘴𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘨𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘰) for $454 pp and we booked those flights using the miles on Capital One's Travel Portal. 𝘽𝙊𝙉𝙐𝙎- 𝙖𝙘𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙄 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙙 𝙖 𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙡 𝙛𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙩, 𝙨𝙤 𝙬𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙞𝙧𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙡𝙚𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙛𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙖𝙨 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙡. 𝙒𝙤𝙤𝙩 𝙒𝙤𝙤𝙩!
