Your miles are expiring. You know it. You keep telling yourself you’ll figure it out next month.
You’ve got 30,000 miles sitting in an account. You vaguely know you could redeem them for something. But every time you try, the award seat you want isn’t available, the redemption chart is confusing, and you end up not doing anything. Six months later, 10,000 miles expired while you weren’t paying attention.
One reader used this playbook to redeem 28,000 Asia Miles for a Taipei–Tokyo business class ticket — a route he’d been ‘meaning to redeem’ for two years. He said: ‘I had no idea the business class sweet spot was that accessible. I booked it in one afternoon.’

以工程師的習慣,每次規劃家庭旅行前我都會做試算表比較哩程價值,但 Asia Miles 的兌換規則繁雜,看官網看到頭暈。在理智派飛行日誌看到這份 Playbook 推薦後決定入手,最讓我滿意的是把兌換邏輯拆成決策樹:哩程價值低的航段直接買票、長程艙等升等才用哩程、特定夥伴航空(國泰、JAL、Finnair)的甜蜜點都標註清楚。最近幫全家四口規劃暑假東京 7 天行程,照書上「香港轉機 + 商務艙升等」玩法,原本要 28 萬的票用 16 萬哩程 + 18000 補差價解決,省下超過 10 萬。附的 Excel 試算表也很實用,輸入哩程數會自動跑出最佳兌換組合,免得我每次手算。唯一建議是商業夥伴酒店兌換那塊可以再寫深一點,畢竟我們家偏好住萬豪系列,這部分比較略。整體 CP 值極高,比我自己摸索三個月省下的時間都多。2026 年 3 月買的,這個月已實際用兩次規劃成功。
退休後第一年,跟老伴開始計劃好幾趟長途旅行,原本一直覺得自己平常出差累積的里程數應該夠用,沒想到實際開始查兌換時才發現亞洲萬里通的規則繁瑣得令人頭疼。之前在理智派看到這份兌換手冊的介紹,想說花一點錢買個系統化的整理應該值得,畢竟自己摸索要花的時間遠比這個價錢貴。內容的整體編排相當紮實,從淡旺季的兌換比例、聯盟夥伴的優先順序、到區域內如何用最少的點數換到商務艙都有圖表說明,對我們這種不熟英文官網的長輩來說省下不少摸索的功夫。實際依照書中建議幫老伴和我訂了五月去福岡的兩張商務艙票,確實順利兌換成功,這部分非常滿意。只是有些段落寫得偏向年輕背包客的思路,像是熱衷於累積里程的高階策略對我們這種一年只飛一兩次的退休族來說有點過量,希望未來能加上「低頻飛行族群」的專屬章節。整體來說,對於想踏實計畫長途旅行的人這本指南是值得的,老伴看完也讚許作者的用心。2026年2月入手後實際操作了一次。
當初是因為一直存著國泰的 Asia Miles 卻不知道怎麼用得最划算,朋友推薦我看理智派的這份 Playbook。買回來之後,光是看完前面那幾章關於 sweet spot 的整理,我就覺得錢花得超值。它把 Asia Miles 換歐美航線、換亞洲商務艙的 partner 路線都列得很清楚,連哪些航空公司可以用什麼比例兌換都有實際範例,不是那種空泛的「換哩程很划算」的口號。
我在 2026 年 2 月用這份 Playbook 規劃了一趟東京自由行,原本要花將近 5 萬的長榮商務艙,最後用 5 萬 Asia Miles + 稅金搞定。整個流程跟著 Playbook 一步步操作,包含怎麼查空位、什麼時候訂、哪些訂位代碼是有 partner award、客服打去要怎麼說,全部都有腳本,跟著做完全沒踩雷。
最讓我感動的是它寫得很有溫度,不像那些技術文章硬梆梆,反而像有個朋友坐在旁邊耐心解釋。對我這種數字看到頭暈的自由工作者來說,能把哩程兌換寫得讓我看得懂,真的很厲害。值得每個有累積 Asia Miles 的人收藏,至少幫自己省下一張機票錢。
