While I almost always fly coach when traveling domestically2, flying coach Internationally is just an awful experience. 尽管在国内，我绝大多数坐普通舱飞行，然而坐普通舱跨国飞行真是很可怕的体验。
It is virtually impossible to sleep in a coach class seat and if you do, you won’t sleep long. 你很难在普通舱睡觉，如果你真的睡的话，你也不会睡的很长。
Whether you are traveling internationally for business or pleasure, you don’t want to land feeling exhausted3 and aching all over. 无论你出国做生意还是旅游，你都不会希望在着落的时候感到疲劳或者全身酸痛
Compare saving $1500 by redeeming4 your miles for five domestic1 coach tickets to using those same miles to fly first class anywhere in the world you’ve dreamed of visiting. 就拿用积累的的里程去兑换五次国内普通舱飞机票而省下1500美元与使用同样的里程坐头等舱飞去你梦想的地方对比。
If there is someplace on your “Bucket List” you want to go, now would be the time to get your airline credit cards and start saving your miles. 如果，在你的梦想清单里边有些地方要去，那么现在就是你办理航空公司信用卡的时间，开始积累里程。
Even if it takes you five or more years to save enough miles, it will be well worth it. 及时会花费你五年或者更久才能积累足够的里程，那么，这是非常值的。
The second best value for your miles is to use them to fly first class to Alaska (redeem 50,000 miles) and third best value is first class to Hawaii (80,000 miles). 第二种最好发挥里程价值的途径就是使用这些里程坐头等舱飞往阿拉斯加(积累5万里程)第三选择就是坐头等舱飞往夏威夷(80000英里)
While my wife and I selected American and United, every airline offers credit cards. 尽管我跟我的老婆选择选择美国以及美国联合航空公司，每个航空公司其实都是有提供信用卡的。
There are also credit card companies such as Capital One, where you can use your miles on any airline. 有一些信用卡公司譬如”captial one “通过这些公司你可以在任何航空公司使用你的里程。
The downside is they require a lot more miles for both domestic and international trips. 缺点就是国内外旅途你需要花费更多的里程。
My advice is to select a credit card that is offered through a major international airline. 我建议你选择大型的航空公司提供的信用卡，
Even if they don’t fly where you ultimately5 want to go, more than likely they will have a partner airline that does. 这样的花，及时他们最终没有去你最终想要去的地方，他们很有可能有一些合作公司去这些地方。
My last tip is to always book your free tickets as far in advance as you can. The airlines limit the number of seats available per flight for people redeeming miles. 我最好一条建议就是尽早的预定你的免费机票。航空公司每班航班提供限量的里程兑换座位
While I realize this lesson was a bit more pragmatic than the others, I hope you will be able to put my recommendations6 to the test. 尽管我认为这节课的内容比其他的更加实用，我希望你能帮我的建议付诸实践。
When you experience what it’s like to sit in first class on an International flight and land refreshed, you will know that little things matter. 当你体验到坐在头等舱跨国飞行并且着落的也很精神焕发是什么感觉的时候，你就会知道小事却有大作用。
And remember:Don’t just use your miles to save money; use them to improve the quality of your life. 记住：不要仅仅用你的里程节约钱，尝试下用它们提高生活质量。
