Established in August 2016, The Higher Flyer has been committed to helping its audience understand how airlines, hotels, and banks — and their loyalty programs — all work. The posts and pages of this website explore some of the ways that readers can get more bang-for-their-bucks; with some know-how and creative thinking, anyone can turn into an elite, knowledgeable traveler: a higher flyer. Need more help? Professional consulting services are available at the companion site: THF Consulting.
Everything on this website is my, Paul Colins’s, unbiased work. I do not receive any special or unusual funding or compensation from airlines, hotels, banks, or any other third party. All of the writing is my own, just as my commentary is independent of anyone/anything other than myself and what I have experienced personally.

Today’s feature — for January 4, 2021 — examines the state of higher flying entering 2021, and it also bids farewell to Fido (in a way), covers a (potentially) practical aspect of higher flying in a pandemic, and, on a more aspirational note, it highlights some new hotels scheduled to open in 2021.
