Watch this video to see how we almost spent more than $7,000 on Business Class flights to Japan. Instead, we flew for just 90,000 miles and about $12 per person out of pocket. In this video, I explain the refundable ticket strategy that made it possible. By booking fully-refundable Business Class tickets as a backup plan, we locked in our travel dates while continuing to search for award availability. When United released award seats less than a week before departure, we booked them immediately, canceled our original tickets, and received a full refund. I'll walk you through exactly how the strategy works, the risks involved, the award search tools I use, and how you can potentially save thousands on your next international trip. Whether you're interested in points and miles, premium cabin travel, or simply finding cheaper flights to Japan, this strategy could change the way you book travel.... and we'll take you with us!
