From last-minute championship trips to family adventures across Europe, here\u2019s a recap of where we went and how we leveraged our travel hacking strategies. Houston: A Last-Minute Championship Trip We couldn\u2019t miss watching the Huskies in the National Championship, so we booked a spontaneous trip to Houston: Madrid &amp; Lisbon: First European Adventure with the Victoria 6 Our first Europe trip with all six of us was a logistical challenge but well worth it! Madrid Lisbon New York in April: The Gateway to Europe Andrea and I repositioned our flights to JFK to book Business Class seats on Air France to Florence for only 55K points each! Italy: Florence, Naples &amp; Vico Equense Andrea and I did a trip to Italy just the two of us! We got to experience Business Class on Air France Florence Naples Vico Equense New Orleans: A Wedding Celebration Andrea&#8217;s coworker had a wedding in New Orleans, we got a great deal on hotel and used our Alaska Airlines buddy pass(not the best deal and cancelled credit card since) to fly down. Berlin: Sending Bella to Study Abroad Bella was studying aboard for the summer in Germany! Flew her over on points! San Diego: A Friend\u2019s Wedding Went down for a buddy&#8217;s wedding in June, used the Venture X $300 travel credit to fly down and booked the hotel on Venture X travel portal to earn 10x California Road Trip: Basketball, Universal Studios &amp; More I had a basketball tournament to coach in Anaheim, and we wanted to take a road trip down to visit family along the way. Utilized many of our Marriott 5 Free night certificates from opening that Bonvoy credit card last March Anaheim Sacramento Los Angeles \u2013 Westlake Village Burbank San Francisco &amp; Our Christmas Trip to Europe We repositioned our family trip to start in San Francisco to get an awesome deal to London during Christmas! London &amp; Paris: A Holiday Getaway We wanted to share a couple of our favorite cities with the kids and wanted to visit both London and take the train down to Paris over Christmas London Paris New York in the Winter: Wrapping Up the Year Last part of our 2 week adventure wrapped up celebrating New Years Eve in NYC! Plus the flight from Paris to NYC was cheap! And flight home from NYC to SEA was also a decent deal(under $200 per person) 2024: A Year of Travel Hacks &amp; Adventure From last-minute championship trips to repositioning flights for premium travel experiences, 2024 was all about maximizing points and miles to explore the world while minimizing out-of-pocket costs.
