One Mile at a Time

Loyalty programs, first class, and the fine print.

Newsletter Travel Daily Updated Sep 2026

About

One Mile at a Time is a daily diary of one obsessive frequent flyer's pursuit of the best possible seat, run by Ben Schlappig, who has spent years chasing airline elite status and premium-cabin experiences around the world. It's equal parts news source and travel-porn blog for people who care deeply about the difference between business and first class.

Posts cover airline and hotel loyalty program changes, detailed reviews of specific flights and lounges, and opinionated takes on industry moves, often the same day they happen. Readers who redeem points seriously, or just enjoy vicariously flying somewhere expensive, will find plenty to read.
