One year ago, I published my first blog post, which was my 2024 recap. Since then, I got engaged, launched a newsletter, tried to buy a house, and am manifesting a really exciting 2026.
Again, I have to thank everyone who has supported me over the last few years. Although I was not as active in the past year, I am hoping to have a really exciting 2026.
Find Flights for Me 2025 recap
It was a pretty hectic year for me work-wise and in my own personal life, so I was not able to post as much. I was still able to share 43 deals on Instagram, 16 deals through my newsletter (started publishing in late September), a handful of time-sensitive deals on my Instagram story, and now have ~33k followers. Deals ranged from flying Japan Airlines First Class to flying on new airline routes, such as Delta’s new route to Marrakech.
Most popular deals (by views)
- US to Paris in business class + rare West Coast availability on Air France (June 17)
- Phoenix/Los Angeles to Taipei in China Airlines’ business class (July 25)
- New York to Paris business class for summer 2025 dates on Air France (March 31)
- New York/DC to multiple Italian cities for summer 2025 in United business class (June 1)
- Qatar Qsuites business class between US/Doha/World (February 2)
My favorite deals (personal preference)
- DC to Rome on United business class, I booked this one for myself! (April 23)
- Emirates First Class for 2 people between NYC/Milan (January 22)
- British Airways business class for ~$1,300 round-trip between US/London (October 11)
- Japan Airlines First Class for 2 people between Chicago/Tokyo (October 15)
- Multiple Delta One fare sales between US and Taipei or Seoul (multiple times throughout 2025)
My travel recap
I didn’t get to fly as much as I would like this year, but I was able to meet my parents in Berlin over Easter with a last-minute award flight. I also set a pretty high bar for a honeymoon after celebrating my engagement in Italy including an unforgettable Lake Como experience, staying at a hotel overlooking to Colosseum, and flying Lufthansa first class back to the States. I’m thinking Seychelles 😎
Hotel-wise, I had around 30 actual nights across different programs and an additional 5 nights from a mattress run.
My 2026 calendar was looking pretty dismal travel-wise, but I am now headed to Taiwan and am trying to figure out how to squeeze in honeymoon plans for 2026 or 2027.
Anyways, cheers to another year and wishing everyone a prosperous and healthy new year. And sign up for my newsletter!
