Born and raised in Northern California, schooled in our Nation's capital, and currently working in the greatest city in the world - NYC. I was instantly hooked to traveling the second I stepped foot in Europe. The addiction only grew once I found out I could do it for free, all on points and miles. I could also eat bagels for every meal.

Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend that you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you're using the American Express Platinum Card, you'll need to book directly with the airline or through Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia's courtesy cancellation if you're unable to get the time away from work or family.

WOW Air is offering incredibly cheap fares to Iceland once again, with prices starting from just $200 round-trip.

WOW Air is a budget airline so you'll be paying extra fees if you want to choose your seat or check a bag, but we've had good experiences with WOW. Flights are available at these low prices generally from January through May, but be sure to use Google Flights to help you find your ideal itinerary.
