Hi, I’m Priyanka!
Foodie, traveler, points nerd, and the founder of Champagne Flight
I created Champagne Flight for travelers who are tired of overhyped recommendations, crowded “must-see” lists, and trips that feel forgettable the moment they’re over.
If you’ve ever followed a viral recommendation only to end up disappointed, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too.
What I’ve learned is simple: the best experiences aren’t the ones being shouted from the highest rooftop.
They’re quieter, more personal, and rooted in local businesses and people, not massive global chains.
Champagne Flight exists to help you find them.
Here you’ll find curated local experiences and practical planning strategies to help you design trips that feel intentional from start to finish.
If that sounds like the kind of travel you’re looking for, you’re in the right place.

What “Elevated” Travel Means
At Champagne Flight, “elevated” doesn’t mean luxury for luxury’s sake.
It means making intentional choices that meaningfully improve your experience.
That can look like:
- Using points and miles to fly business class instead of economy so the journey itself becomes part of the experience
- Choosing a family-run B&B or boutique hotel over a massive chain
- Skipping the winery packed with tour buses and tasting rooms and instead finding the one where you can sip wine on the winemaker’s porch
Over time, I’ve learned that these small shifts are the difference between trips that are just fine and ones that stay with you long after you’re home.
Why You Can Trust Me
I’ve been to 60+ countries and redeemed over $100,000 in flights using points. I’ve had my fair share of champagne at 50,000 feet (get it… Champagne Flight?).
I grew up watching my dad fly around the world on points and was so inspired that I created my own system for making elevated travel simple, attainable, and repeatable.
It works so well my husband put it in his wedding vows that he’d always trust me on anything points-related. (I’ve absolutely reminded him of this.)
As much fun as it is to fly in business class using points, the real magic for me happens on the ground.
At a tiny family-run winery in Portugal, over a vegetarian tasting menu in Japan, or at a neighborhood taverna in Greece where the owner swore their grandmother’s recipe would ruin me for all others. (Spoiler: it did.)
Over the years, I’ve gotten really good at finding places most travelers overlook—the ones with unforgettable meals, incredible wine, and stories you’ll still be telling years later.
Wanting to turn that instinct into something useful, I combined my nerdiness (I seriously love being a student) with my love of travel and went to Wharton to get my MBA.
Today, Champagne Flight is where all of that comes together. Everything on the site is personally vetted and tested by me.
