We cover a lot of ground here at the good-ol thriftytraveler.com. But if you're not subscribed to our free daily newsletter, The Extra Mile, you're missing out.
Every weekday, Monday through Friday, we send our subscribers an easy-to-read newsletter that's nonetheless jam-packed with all the latest travel news and insights you need to stay up-to-date: analysis, tips, booking guides, fun stories, and more. And while that includes some of the stories you see here, there's much more you won't see elsewhere, like:
- A special “Deal of the Day” on flights, hotels, or credit card offers you'll only see in our newsletter
- Bitesize reviews of flights, hotels, and even destinations
- Fun weekly features like “On Our Radar” – an analysis of some recent news and what it means for award travel – and “Gettin' Booksy,” recapping some recent booking wins from our team, readers, and members
- And exclusive discounts on our Thrifty Traveler Premium flight deal service (and hotel deals, if you opt for Premium+)
Psst… get on our newsletter ASAP to get the scoop on our upcoming sale!

A Look Inside the Extra Mile
Here's a glance at a recent newsletter, breaking down the $410 Turkish Airlines business class mistake fares we found – a deal so good it was later featured in the Wall Street Journal!
And here's another featuring some screaming Delta One SkyMiles deals to Europe this summer – a deal you won't find anywhere else. Oh, and our first-ever edition of “Gettin' Booksy” featuring yours truly!
Subscribe now and start getting the Extra Mile in your inbox every weekday morning!
Best of all? The entire Thrifty Traveler team is contributing every weekday. You’ll hear more about where we’re traveling, what we’re booking, what worked (and what didn’t), and how we’re using points and miles in real life so you can level up your own game.
Bottom Line
If you're not getting our Extra Mile newsletter, you're missing out.
We're just a bit biased, but we think it's a can't-miss, must-read digest of everything you need to know to be a smarter traveler in six minutes or less. And without it, you'll be missing some exclusive stories … and exclusive discounts on our Thrifty Traveler Premium flight deal service, too.
