Daniel: value traveller

Daniel loves the word ‘optimise’ when it comes to travel. That is, maximise the comfort for the lowest cost. And it is this word that allured him to the world of frequent flyer points. There is no cash fare that can ever ‘outvalue’ a great long-haul premium seat redemption. So naturally, you’ll find him sitting at the pointy end of the plane more often than not. There is just simply no better way to travel than that.
