Sometimes I wanna say screw it and make KZbin videos about this bc of how much travel hacking has taken over my life, and this is exactly the type of videos I would wanna make because we need more like it. Hope you blow up!

[@TheTravelLane]

I really appreciate it! I wish there was more of a demand for the high level redemption side of this game since it’s so fun to make these videos.

[@chezg1201]

Subbed, great video!

[@MMSTUDIOS5]

Thanks for all that good information!

[@TheTravelLane]

2 Mistakes I wanted to note: 1) The Royal Hawaiian was built in 1927 not 1913 2) Hanauma Bay is on the south east of Oahu not the north

[@TinyTimothy22]

Amazing video. Very insightful and you did a great job of both educating about the different islands in Hawaii as well as specific examples for high-value redemption options.

[@srujangulla9519]

Great video buddy. ✈

[@TheTravelLane]

Thank you so much!

[@LK_EBM]

Great stuff! Love that you get into the redemptions side of award travel, unlike most other KZbinrs.

[@AnthonyVenture]

This was awesome!! Just on a random thought, and being delayed on certain international travel, Hawaii just might be in the cards soon and this guide was very very helpful!! Thank you Shaun!

[@jessicalam1199]

Awesome video 📹

[@TheTravelLane]

Thank you 🙏

[@brucebanksshow]

Good video!

[@TheTravelLane]

Thank you!

[@sarahzhao7564]

i stumbled upon this as i'm trying to plan a trip to hawaii using points and this was the most informative video out there about credit card points, please do more of these guides!!

[@mitchell.9632]

Good to know on the East side of the U.S.A. has the same flight points. That is key when looking for flat rate redemption's. Learned some new things about Hawaii. Thanks!

[@dannydamato4832]

Awesome video, a lot of people don't talk about certain redemptions because they don't have well enough knowledge on the topic of award travel like you did with Turkish Airlines.

[@kauaikalani]

Funny that you used a photo of the Northshore of Kauai to represent the big island. Tunnels beach is one of our favorite beaches

[@mrsmakeuplover]

Could you provide insights on how to book 5x flight tickets through Turkish air using the points/tips you provided? Is it possible? Thank you!

[@rabelothi]

the "Saver Award" situation also happens on First Class flights?

[@911eVoX]

I would argue Southwest is a better buy for direct flights from SNA to OGG... Worth the $300 round trip per person

[@TheTravelLane]

Good point! My only counter is even if SW is $300 RT I would be getting 2CPP using my Turkish mikes and I would get to select a seat versus on southwest I can’t

[@hwang1607]

How do you find good redemption methods like booking United with Turkish miles?

[@TheTravelLane]

The main way is since I’ve been in this game for a while I have a lot of the best redemptions memorized lol. Also if you google things like “top 10 points redemptions within the US” you can find lists of good redemptions

[@danielrd7493]

Hey Shaun, Should we transfer over the miles to Turkish air before calling customer service? Seems a little dicey. Otherwise, I appreciate the truth bombs you’re dropping here.

[@TheTravelLane]

Very good question! I would recommend calling Turkish first and make sure they are able to book the space before you transfer
