Make 2026 the Year You Make
MORE Travel Memories

Make this the year you travel more than ever—with ease, not overwhelm.

You already know free travel is possible.

You've probably already taken a trip or two on points.

But here's what's really happening:

  • You're wasting points and perks, because you're unsure which ones to use when and can't keep travel of them all.
  • You have too many cards and not enough clarity.
  • You're spending hours researching bookings, second-guessing yourself, wondering if there's a better way.

You don't need to learn this from scratch. You need smarter systems to get more benefit out of your points.

And you need to feel confident, supported and not so alone in figuring this out.

  • You're sitting on points across multiple programs—unsure how to use them strategically
  • You know you could be traveling more with what you already have
  • You've wasted perks and points: free nights, travel credits and expired points
  • You're tired of DIY-ing this and want expert guidance and community
  • You want to stop wondering if you're doing it right and start booking with confidence

The truth is: You can probably figure this out on your own. Eventually.

What members say about Families Fly Free...


The results speak for themselves...

"I considered myself savvy with miles, but Families Fly Free showed me what I didn’t know. The personalized plan made the timing simple and the team’s quick replies let me stop second-guessing and just book. It’s simpler, faster and I’m not stuck doing all the research alone."

- Michele S., Chicago

"We can ask questions and get feedback right away. It is an investment, but you get your money back five-fold really. You get that personalization to ask questions and get feedback right away, you get the community and you get a plan so you can just follow it. It’s totally worth it.”

- Brittany G., Tulsa

The Real Cost of Waiting...

You can't recall the memories you never make.

While you're researching award charts and debating whether Southwest works for your goals, your kids or grandkids are growing up.

School breaks are passing.

Opportunities are slipping by.

Before you know it, this precious time is over...

The trips you don't take before your kids leave home?

Those moments are gone forever.

I already have one in college and another leaving in 2026. I'm so grateful I didn't wait to figure this out!

Time freedom isn't just about having points. It's about knowing how best to use them—now, while it matters most.


Imagine December 2026...

You're looking back at the year—and you've taken more trips than any year before.

Not because you worked harder or earned more points. Because you finally had the confidence and support to maximize what you had.

Your family is asking, "Where should we go next year?" And you know exactly how to make it happen.

That future is available right now.

I'm Lyn, Founder of Families Fly Free and Travel Journalist

As a longtime travel journalist for media outlets like US News & World Report, the TODAY Show and USA Today's 10 Best, I've been writing about travel for years and learned how to fly my family free to all the places I'd been writing about in 2015. Since then, we've been flying at least 6 times each year around the US, Europe and the Caribbean, including amazing trips to Hawaii, Disney, Grand Cayman, Europe and more!

I developed a simple formula to fly my family of 4 FREE wherever we want to go, whenever we want to go and I've helped hundreds of families do the same with our personalized and approachable process.

Will you let us help your family shave thousands of dollars off the cost of travel by eliminating airfare and stretching your frequent flyer miles as far as they will go?

My formula allows you to take MORE trips, splurge on OTHER things during your travels and create MORE priceless memories -- all with minimal time and effort.

If you have kids, NOW is the time to figure this out, so you can travel more and make those memories before they leave home...

It's an easy system that, once in place, can be put on autopilot. All you need to do is stay aware of the changing hacks we share to keep you saving month after month, year after year...

Come on, let's travel! Where to first?!

I'm Lyn and I Help Families Fly Free

Back in 2015, I was a travel journalist writing about amazing destinations for outlets like the TODAY Show, US News & World Report and USA Today's 10 Best.

I had one problem: I was writing about all these incredible places, but actually taking my family there felt impossible.

That's when I figured out a simple system to fly us free—and everything changed.

Since then, we've flown at least 6 times a year to Hawaii, Europe, the Caribbean, Disney, National Parks and more. Not because I'm special or spend hours on this—but because I finally had a repeatable system that works.

Here's what I know now: You don't need dozens of cards or a PhD in points to fly free. You need clarity, support and someone in the trenches with you showing you what actually works (and what doesn't).

I'm still booking free flights for my family every single month. My members text me their wins—like the dad who saved $7,500 on his family's Hawaii trip or the mom who finally took her kids to Europe without worry of cost.

My boys are older now (one's already in college), and I'm so grateful we didn't wait to "figure it out someday."

Those memories? Priceless.

If you have kids or grandkids at home, now is the time. Tomorrow comes faster than you think.

Let's make 2026 your most memorable year yet!

Your Most Common Questions

I already know how to use miles and points. Why do I need this?

You might know the basics, but are you maximizing every point? Are you confident in every booking? Most members join because they were wasting points, missing opportunities and spending way too much time researching. They wanted smarter systems and expert guidance to put the process on autopilot—and they got their time back plus tends of thousands in additional savings.

Does this work if I don't fly Southwest? I prefer [other airline].

We do recommend making Southwest your primary airline, as they are currently THE best way to fly A LOT of people A LOT of places free. But you can also fly other airlines to destinations where Southwest does not fly and for convenience on occasion. For example, Southwest DOES NOT fly to Europe, and we offer the SIMPLEST solution to fly to Europe on points.

How much time should I expect your system to take?

Following my Fly Free Formula, you should be flying your family free within 2-3 months.

Once you learn the process, you'll be able to keep your points balances full and your family flying free in only 15-30 minutes each week, a HUGE time savings.

What if I don't have time to implement everything?

That's exactly why members join. You don't need hours—you need a proven roadmap and ongoing support. Most members spend less than an hour per week once they're set up. We handle the research, updates and reminders. You just follow the plan.

Is this a yearly membership?

Yes, you are purchasing a year-long membership, granting you a full 12 months of access from the day you join. If you remain a member for the second year and beyond, the renewal cost is less than HALF at just $495 per year. Membership does not automatically renew. The super majority of our members renew year after year to fly free for life.

How do I receive personal support?

At any time, you can text or email our team and get an answer within 24 hours M-F, post a question in our private community or attend my monthly live Q&A to get an answer to your question live.

Does it work for couples and singles, too?

Absolutely. The system works just as powerfully for solo travelers and couples. You'll actually see results faster, because you have fewer people to book. Many members use their points for romantic getaways, adventure travel and visiting family.

Can I pay with points?

Yes, you can pay for Families Fly Free with Chase points so it costs you NOTHING (just like your flights ;-)). Email us HERE for details on how to do that.  

Is there a payment plan?

Yes, you can opt to break your purchase into 4-24 payments, starting at just $60/month, with Klarna or AfterPay at checkout. Look for your options under Payment Methods at checkout. Note: Chase no longer allow you to use a Chase card with these payment options. You CAN still use a Chase card to pay in full and then afterward, set up Chase Pay Over Time to break your purchase into payments with a monthly fee.

Another option is to get a card like Chase Freedom Unlimited with 0% interest on purchases for the first 15 months. This allows you to purchase the membership and spread your payments over 15 months while paying ZERO interest and earning points at the same time.
