Who we are
Kelly, ND, Micah and Caleb.
We started collecting points in late 2022. The next summer we flew all four of us in business class for the first time. We paid $97 a person for Qatar First Class and flew around the world for $54 per person per day, flights included. This guide is exactly what we’d tell a friend who asked where to start.
