Case study · October 2026

Sixteen nights, five cities.

A real itinerary we designed for two travelers this October. Seoul to Shanghai by way of Japan and Chongqing, with the big moments booked first and the travel days kept calm around them.

The studio

Small on purpose.

Lie Flat Club is a New York studio for award travel and trip design. We take a few clients a month, and every award seat is checked by hand before it reaches you.

Most of the work is in the details that make a long trip feel easy: the right cabin on the right day, a hotel that earns its points, reservation windows that open at awkward hours, and travel days with enough slack that nothing falls apart. We plan most often for Japan, Korea, China and Europe, and we start cherry blossom trips early.

House rules

  • You book and pay in your own accounts.
  • We never ask for passwords.
  • We never hold money for flights or hotels.
  • We don't recommend credit cards.
  • If an Award Search finds nothing bookable, you get half back and we keep watching for 30 days.

Opening offer

Three clients at 40% off any package, in exchange for honest feedback we may quote by first initial.

Notes

Before you ask.

How many points do I need?

It depends on route and cabin. One example: ANA business class between New York and Tokyo is 60,000 Virgin Atlantic points one-way plus taxes on Virgin's published chart, as of October 2026. Tell us what you have and we'll tell you honestly what it can do.

Which points work?

Flexible card points (Amex Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Capital One, Citi, Bilt), airline miles, and hotel points. We work with whatever you already hold.

What if there's no award space?

It happens, especially in cherry blossom season. If an Award Search turns up nothing bookable, you get 50% back and we keep watching for 30 days.

Do you book for me?

You always book in your own accounts. On Award Booking we walk you through it on a call. On Concierge we prepare every reservation and walk you through confirming it, and submit restaurant requests in your name where the venue allows, with you paying the venue directly. We never take payment for travel.

How fast is it?

Award Search in about three business days, Trip Design in seven to ten. Rush is available.

Do you use AI?

Yes, for drafting and formatting, which keeps fees fair. Every flight, hotel and reservation is checked by a person before you see it.
