Miles & Routes publishes educational guides that help readers understand and make more informed decisions about miles and points, award travel, flight search and fares, travel rewards, business class, and trip planning.
The aim is simple: turn confusing topics into clear, structured explanations you can actually use. We focus on how things work and the trade-offs involved, using plain language and without hype—so there are no promises of guaranteed savings or a “best deal every time.”
What we cover
Miles, points & award travel
How programs, transfers, redemptions, and award availability actually work.
Flights & fare research
How to search flights, compare fares, and think about timing and flexibility.
Travel rewards
Educational explanations of travel rewards cards and programs, presented as information rather than financial advice.
Premium cabins
How to evaluate and book business class using cash, points, or miles.
Trip planning
Itineraries, checklists, and tools to organize a trip in a practical way.
How we approach our guides
Our guides aim to:
- start from the real question a reader is trying to answer;
- use clear, plain language;
- rely on official and reputable sources when rules or facts need to be confirmed;
- show the trade-offs instead of a single “best” answer;
- make examples and assumptions explicit;
- separate factual information from opinion;
- update content when rules or relevant information change.
Who is behind Miles & Routes?
Miles & Routes was founded and is edited by Vinicius Calegari. His relationship with travel started professionally, working with technology for airline ticketing, hotel reservations, rental cars, airline integrations, and global travel distribution systems.
What began as technology eventually became a passion for travel itself.
Today, Vinicius primarily books air travel with miles and uses travel rewards as an important part of how he plans trips. He has experience with airport lounge access, award availability, point transfers, loyalty programs, and building flexible mileage strategies across multiple programs.
Miles & Routes was created to turn that experience into practical, research-driven guidance for travelers who want to make smarter decisions with miles, points, routes, rewards, and trip planning.

Independence and transparency
Our content is educational. When we mention airlines, programs, tools, or services, it is to explain options and context—not to promote a specific product. The site may display advertising or use affiliate links; where that happens, it does not determine our editorial conclusions.

Accuracy, updates and corrections
Program rules, prices, availability, and policies change often. We update articles when relevant information changes, and we recommend confirming details with the official source before booking. If you find an error or something out of date, please contact us.
