A notebook by Greg M.
A better trip starts with a better question.
Travel, points and everyday money—with the people, priorities and compromises left in. This is the personal side of the guides I publish at Accel Media.
Start with the Christmas booking
From the notebook
- 01 / A booking story Four of us, two companion certificates, one Christmas trip
San Francisco to Glasgow, via Heathrow. The goal was premium long-haul cabins; the plan involved two pairs on separate flights. - 02 / A point of view The cheaper flight isn’t always the better trip
An illustrative choice between saving $200 and arriving six hours sooner. The calculation helps; it doesn’t decide. - 03 / A beginning Why I’m starting this notebook
The question behind a booking, and the space between a reference guide and a personal story.
Hi, I’m Greg.
I’m interested in where travel, points and everyday money meet real life. A clever redemption is interesting. What it makes possible matters more.
I’m also the editor behind Accel Media. The detailed guides and tools live across its focused publications. Here I can explain the choice behind a booking—and, after the trip, what actually happened.
The story here. The detail over there.
- Get started Travel Tutor for the first steps.
- Understand your points Points Professor for cards, currencies and transfer mechanics.
- Work through a choice Card Calculator for spending arithmetic; Accel Media’s question guide for a reading path.
An occasional reason to come back.
New booking notes, honest trade-offs and—when the journeys have happened—real trip reports. No promised daily output and no separate mailing list to keep track of.
