🌎 Global airline award sale

Estimated read time: 3 minutes and 32 seconds

Good morning from my dark, unlit apartment in Toronto. I’ll be honest with you - I’ve got a nasty migraine today, so this one is going to be short and sweet (but still awesome).

Here’s what I’ve got for you:

• ✈️ Global Getaways is back (and it’s awesome)

• 🏠 If you pay rent, you need this program

• 💳 How to book a post-grad trip

✈️ Global Getaways is back (and it’s awesome)

I might feel like a bowl of poop right now, but I’m still SUPER EXCITED about this piece of news…

Every few months, Alaska Airlines drops a big award sale called “Global Getaways,” where they offer discounted rates to various destinations around the world.

What I love most about these sales is that there’s always a theme. Last time, it was famous skiing spots.

This time around, it’s “Embracing the World’s Natural Beauty.”

I mean… come on, how awesome is that??

But it’s not just the cute theme that you should be excited about.

Literally everything about this sale from the destinations to the award rates to the flexible booking window is just… *chef’s kiss*

Destinations include nearby spots like Alberta all the way to far-flung cities like Hanoi and Tashkent.

I personally think that Uzbekistan, Vietnam, and Australia are the most exciting parts of this sale, and I’ll tell you why:

Places like Ireland, Iceland, and Canada are easy and cheap to get to with multiple programs.

Getting to Vietnam for 30,000 points, on the other hand, is basically unheard of. 👇

And if you’ve never been to Uzbekistan, it’s a great place!

I loved my time in Tashkent last year and have been thinking about heading back later this year to see some more of the natural beauty in other regions of the country.

Flying all that way for just 20k miles is, without a doubt, the best deal of this sale.

But let’s talk terms:

• The sale is live, and you can book these rates through April 11th

• Travel can take place starting immediately all the way through July 31st

• Valid for travel booked between the previously listed destination and the U.S.

So you have a full month to book and a full four and a half months to travel, which is fantastic.

Don’t forget that right now, you can transfer Membership Rewards Points to Alaska by way of transferring them to Hawaiian (which you can then link to Alaska).

I know, that sounds complicated… but it’s actually really easy, so check out this newsletter where I break down how to do it.

Alaska already has some of the best award rates out there, and epic new loyalty program, and now, awesome sales like this.

💳 How to book a post-grad trip

Graduation is important, sure. Buuut, your post-grad trip is more important.
