This guy used a frequent-flyer loophole to take a $60,000 trip in a first class suite on Emirates Airlines - here's what it was like
Sam Huang
Travel blogger Sam Huang recently cashed in his Alaska Airlines frequent-flyer miles for a $60,000 trip around the world, and luckily he took plenty of pictures documenting what it was like.
"Unlimited Don Perignon, wild caviar, and a shower spa while flying 40,000 feet in the air - it's no wonder the Emirates First Class Suite is consistently named one of the best airline seats in the world," Huang writes over at his travel blog, TopMiles.
His trip spanned 11 cities, 7 countries, and 5 continents, and Huang managed to pay only $300 for the journey - in addition to cashing in his frequent-flyer miles - by taking advantage of a clever loophole when booking the trip. Business Insider even confirmed with the airline that the booking was legitimate.
From getting to skip the boarding line and enter the plane through a private entrance, to fancy suites featuring automatic doors, shower access, and a seemingly endless supply of food and drinks, this is what it's like (in Huang's own words) to take a trip of a lifetime.
