In 2011, I thought I’d save some money by flying standby on a buddy pass<\/a> with a pilot friend of mine to see the Boise State\/Georgia game in Atlanta. \u00a0I should have known better, but at that point I was young in the game of accruing points and miles to make travel almost free.<\/p>\n

We couldn’t get on the first flight because there wasn’t enough room, so we waited for two more hours and then got on a flight that took us to Detroit. \u00a0From Detroit, we couldn’t get straight to Atlanta, so we had to take a flight to Nashville. \u00a0Begging and pleading, we barely got onto the last flight from Nashville, and if that wouldn’t have worked, we’d have had to do a one-way car rental. \u00a0By the time we arrived, we’d wasted an entire day. \u00a0The flight home wasn’t much better and I had to pay something like $300 in fees and taxes. Ugh.<\/p>\n

By the time the Michigan State game came along in 2012, I had become an aggressive frequent-flyer-mile hunter-gatherer, and I pulled off an amazing SLC-TAMPA-DETROIT-SLC triangle for $30 and 26k points on Southwest Airlines that allowed me to see the Republican Convention and the Boise State\/Michigan game – both of which ultimately resulted in an abundance of tears, but were still fun while I was there.<\/p>\n

Now, as Bronco fever overwhelms me with our new coach Bryan Harsin and a exciting future we’re attacking, I’m plotting my almost-free trip to Atlanta to see the Broncos play the Rebels in the Chick-Fil-A kickoff game in August and wanted to share my secrets with fellow blue-blooded Boise State fans.<\/p>\n

Lately we’ve raved about the US Airways Premier World Mastercard<\/a> because it’s a perfect example of what WorldWanderlusting is all about – do a little, pay a little, and get a lot of almost-free travel.<\/p>\n
