Ever looked at your hotel loyalty points and felt like you were on a marathon with no finish line? Well, you’re in good company. Our inaugural #FrequentFlyerFunnies takes ‘loyalty’ to new heights… or should we say lengths?
Take a peek at the comic below where our intrepid travelers calculate just how many nights they need to bag that elusive free flight. It’s a laughably long stay – 274 nights, to be exact. And the catch? A daily game of hotel hopscotch with check-ins and check-outs. Talk about dedication!
A couple is surrounded by the all-too-familiar chaos of a hotel stay. Amidst the unpacked luggage, one has discovered a ‘reward’ that’s almost too Herculean to consider. The punchline? They’re in it for the long haul – plus the daily grind of check-out and check-in rituals.
“If we stay another 274 nights, we’ll earn a free airline ticket!”
“…’Course, we’ll have to check out and back in each day!”
The humor is in the hyperbole – a free ticket at the cost of practically moving into the hotel! It’s a playful jab at the sometimes absurd points system that many of us frequent flyers know all too well.
This week’s comic pokes fun at the extreme lengths some of us go to for a “free” ticket. It’s humorous, yes, but it also sheds light on the sometimes absurd realities of loyalty programs. Let’s peel back the layers together:

I confess, I’ve checked out and checked back in once or twice. How many of us have?
If it doesn’t cost me more than I’m getting out of it, I’m “game” for whatever it is.
