It was raining in NYC in mid october (screw that) and I REALLY wanted a steak. Seeing as how a good, high quality grass fed steak can end up in the $100 range in NYC, I thought
"I wonder how much it would cost to go to Buenos Aires tonight?"
I pulled up aa.com and checked the Award Reservations---it was only 40,000 ffmiles + $42.40. For a same day reservation.
Since I run a site all about how to get unlimited free airline miles, I had several million--so the total real cost to me (to get to Buenos Aires) was $42.40. Four hours later I was boarding a plane, and 13 hours later I was eating the best steak known to mankind.
The really cool thing about going to Buenos Aires is that its often the same time zone as NYC and the flights are overnight. So you can go to sleep in NYC and wake up in Argentina with no jet lag (if you can sleep on planes).
it's called http://www.hackthesystem.com . The guide to getting free miles is the Travel Hacking Report. It also talks about how I get free offices in almost every country in the world.
Saw your previous comment and hunted this down. Just read the whole thing -- very, very cool. Regus Businessworld will definitely come in handy; $300/yr isn't bad at all, but 6 months free can't be beat! Nice job.

Definitely worth it :)
