Award Booking Request

You know where you're going.
Let's book the seats.

This is for travelers who already have the trip in mind and want the flights found and locked in with points. No consult required. Just the trip, booked. Everything runs over email, and I only take on requests I believe I can actually book, so the detail below is what lets me tell you yes.

1

Send this request. It's free. The more detail, the faster I can answer.

2

I review within 24 hours and tell you if I can take it on.

3

If it's a yes, you pay the search fee and I start hunting.

How this works

The essentials, up front

A few things to know before you fill this out. If any of it changes what you want to ask for, even better to sort it now.

✉️ Email only

This service runs entirely in writing. No calls or meetings, so every detail of your itinerary stays documented and nothing gets missed.

✈️ Flights, on points

I find and guide you to book award flights with your miles. Not cash fares, not hotels, and I never charge a markup from airlines.

🔐 Your accounts stay yours

I will never log into your bank, card, or loyalty accounts. I hand you a step-by-step, and you book the flights on your end.

🎯 I only take what I can book

Large blocks of premium seats are limited and rarely release together. I review every request first and tell you honestly if it's feasible.

Priced by the seats you need together. Each price is for that many seats booked together on a single one-way. If you're flexible and willing to be split across seats or even separate flights, I can often place your group in a lower bracket. I'll always steer you toward the option that costs less.
Why per one-way? Award seats are booked one direction at a time, not round trip. The best space opens the moment an airline's calendar does, usually 330 to 360 days out, and your outbound and return often open on different days or even on different airlines. A round trip is simply two one-ways. Multi-city is priced per segment.
The search fee is half of your total and is due up front once I accept your request. It's non-refundable, and it applies toward your final total. If I find space that matches what you asked for and you decide not to book it, the balance is still owed. In the rare case I can't find anything that fits, you owe only the search fee.

Airline taxes and carrier surcharges are always separate and paid by you directly to the airline.
Your request

Tell me about the trip

Fill in what you know. Flexibility is your best friend here, so where you can be open, say so. It widens what I can find for you.

1

About you

So I know who I'm booking for and how to reach you.

2

The trip

The destination, who's flying, and how you'd like to travel.

Your estimate

2 seats · round-trip$400
Search fee due up front (half, applied to total)$200
Balance after I book your seats$200

Estimate only. Final quote is confirmed when I accept your request. Airline taxes and surcharges are separate. 6+ seats and complex multi-city are custom quoted.

3

Airports & positioning

Award space favors bigger hubs. The more airports you'll consider, the more I can find.

4

Your points & cards

Most important

This is what tells me whether the trip is bookable. Think of it like your portfolio. I can't tell you what you can afford to book until I know what you're holding. List every card, even ones with no rewards.

Please add your name, email, and destination so I can review your request.

Request received

Thank you. I've got your request.

I personally review every request, usually within 24 hours, and I'll email you to let you know if I can take it on. I only say yes to trips I believe I can actually book. If it's a fit, I'll send your search fee invoice and get straight to hunting for your seats. Warmly, Lillie
