Over the past several months, several times a week, you’ve been receiving the Your Daily Escape email series. These little morsels are designed to whet your travel appetite and inspire you to plan your next trip. Always off-the-beaten-path and original, our goal here at Savvy Navigator is to show you the way that we love to travel – luxurious in our choices of where we sleep at night, but adventurous and authentic during the day as we explore the world.

Today we’re launching a new series, Today’s Travel Tip, which is designed to complement Your Daily Escape. Today’s Travel Tip promises to be short, sweet, and very relevant to the travel-planning process. We’ll share travel tips that you won’t find anywhere else, curated by Jeff and his team of savvy travel experts.

Today’s email is being broadcast from the Ethiopian Airlines business-class lounge in Addis Ababa. Why are we here, you might wonder? Here’s your travel tip:

Transfer your American Express Membership Rewards points to an Air Canada Aeroplan account. Air Canada is a Star Alliance member and has the best availability on its partner airlines such as South African, Lufthansa, Swiss, and more!

So we’re passing through Ethiopia, on our way to Johannesburg South Africa, flying business-class, lie-flat seats, on brand new 787 aircraft. The in-flight service on Ethiopian is really good, and our trip today only cost us 80,000 miles and less than $100 in taxes and fees.

Savvy Navigator now has a team in place to help you find award seats using your miles and points. If you’d like to learn more about this service, drop us a line and we’ll show you the way.
