A printed travel guide and an espresso on a table in Italy

Field Guides

The plans we actually ran — yours to keep.

Field Reports are the free read on the site. The guides are the deep, printable, day-by-day version — every address, every booking link, the kid logistics, the points play. Most are free for an email. The big one's worth paying for.

How we fly a family of four nearly free.

The whole system in one PDF — not theory, the actual moves we run. The transfer-partner sweet spots, our real redemptions with the numbers, and the kid-travel math nobody explains. The one guide we charge for, because it's the one that pays for itself on your next trip.

  • The transfer-partner map — which program books which airline, and why it matters
  • Our actual redemptions: Europe, Maui, the Caribbean — points in, what we got
  • Hotel points vs. free-night certs vs. cash-and-points, decoded
  • Home Exchange & ThirdHome — skipping hotels entirely
  • Traveling with kids on points: the four-seat problem and how we solve it
