FCF is a truly invaluable resource that helps avoid overpaying for flights and hotels. I caught a BIG saving on a flight to Australia. The information put out is useful and timely.

Solid, reliable information.
After twenty four years in existence, FCF still manages to present timely, relevant, and innovative information for the savvy air traveler. FCF does this with a well-organized newsletter. There are no
distractions, no fluff, and no gimmicks - just clear information. Individuals stand to up their air travel strategy considerably by paying close attention to what FCF has to say each month, and can have a bit of fun in the process.

FCF is the ticket to thousands, and I mean thousands, of dollars off EACH business or first class international RT flight. They also provide context and theory writings that help change your thoughts about flying as a static event. This is THE premium service everyone wants to claim to be.

Some of the articles are presented in a way that would only be logical to someone experienced with travel. I often give the newsletter to my PA who really doesn’t have the time to figure it all out.

Freedom Flights
Your FCF newsletter was most helpful to me. I was searching, along with my Centurion travel counselor and 2 consolidators, for flights to Italy this summer. The best fare we could locate on Delta One was $8,500 and $4,200 on American. Then I remembered your article about the “Freedom Flights”. We searched Emirates and found their business class JFK-MXP for $3,500 and full suite service for $5,000. These flights were not showing up as options for any of us. Thank you for your helpful articles.
