About

My name is Goffe de Boer and welcome to uponboarding.com! I found my passion for travel at a young age and I can proudly say that I have explored 80 countries so far. I want to visit many more in the future! A few years ago, I decided to expand my knowledge on ways to travel more luxuriously by spending less money. I knew there were so many possibilities with loyalty programs but I did not know where to start. For example, I did not know how to access airline lounges, how to get free upgrades on flights and how to accumulate tons of frequent flyer miles and hotel points. After doing my own research, I found that it was less difficult than I had previously thought to use these loyalty programs with taking advantage of the benefits offered. Later, I found a simple way to earn miles on cheap fares and spend them on first and business class awards.

I have earned and spent millions of frequent flyer miles, hotel points, and saved a lot of money by doing so. I have learned that elite status is very efficient. For example, I save a lot of time given that I do not need to line up at check-in and boarding, Moreover, I have special privileges of adding an extra checked baggage free of charge and I have exclusive access at airports lounges worldwide. I am also more likely to get upgrades to first and business class. I have created uponboarding.com to share my travel stories and reviews with my followers.
