Who Is The Miles Man?
I’m Eric “Miles Man” Lipkind — a dedicated travel expert with over 30 years of experience mastering miles, points, and loyalty programs across airlines, hotels, cruises, and car rentals.
I’ve visited more than 25 countries, taken 15+ cruises, and haven’t paid for a personal airline ticket in three decades — thanks to the strategies I now teach my clients. As an IATAN-Accredited travel advisor and seasoned points expert, I help travelers earn faster, redeem smarter, and unlock unforgettable trips with total confidence.
After years of helping people travel for free or upgrade using miles and points, I expanded my services to include cruises, hotels, tours, car rentals, theme park vacations, and more. Today, Miles Man is a trusted resource for travelers who want reliable guidance, honest recommendations, and a seamless, stress-free booking experience.

My Approach to Travel Planning
I believe the best trips start with understanding what you want. Instead of overwhelming you with endless choices, I take the time to understand your lifestyle, budget, and preferred style of travel — then present the options that best fit your needs.
Whether you’re looking for convenience, value, adventure, or relaxation, every trip is built with the same care I’d use to plan my own.
Your next adventure starts here.
Whether it’s your first cruise or your tenth adventure — let’s plan something unforgettable together.
