Q: I’ve been doing the points game for a couple of years now. How do I get better routing/scheduling when traveling on points?

I’ll go ahead and give away the biggest and most obvious “hack”, which is to book early.

Yeah, real helpful, I know, but what if you can’t?

Basically, what if you have a million frequent flyer miles and can’t find a flight at the last minute that you need?

I explain what you can do to help mitigate this, but it’s inside the “Travel Hacking With Hulk” series, available to AA members in just 5 days.
