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.

Always terrific advice and insight into the "UP FRONT" flying experience!!!
Monthly newsletter and daily deals keep me informed.
Always look forward to reading the monthly newsletter. Also look at the Daily Deals frequently. This information has helped me find 'up front' fares several times resulting in savings of thousands of dollars. I have finally kicked the habit of tying myself to one frequent flyer program and look forward to future travel using the carrier with the best value in terms of fares and schedule to my travel destinations.
a great resourse
a great resource when booking business class or first class seats on long range flights
FCF is unique in the industry - and it works
I have subscribed to FCF for several years now, and in 2019 alone, i was able to make two trips to Europe with such great savings that the savings on just one of the trips i took covered all the years of FCF i have ever paid for!
I truly appreciate the mindset that Matthew Bennett projects throughout FCF - it makes sense these days in business travel, leisure travel too.
i am grateful for the opportunities that FCF has presented me - it seems unique in the industry, but works for me

Great ideas with short-term execution regarding travel planning. My wish is that there was a more enhanced service level where a specific itinerary could be provided to a given venue and have input on the mechanics of how to optimize points/dollars to secure.

Concise and easy to understand strategies to get the most opportunities for flying up-front.
What About Air Canada?
I have been subscribing a long time and have gotten some good tips. However, where we live, we must fly to a gateway city so some of the strategies don’t work.
We live near the Canadian border and have driven to Calgary several times to get flights to Europe via Air Canada. This airline is always high in the rankings yet you never talk about it. We have been able to get great business fares to Europe which makes the drive worthwhile. I would like to see more about them.
As always, the one downside to me is the price.
