I would love to visit, but that like $2k+ econo-hell airfare for like 14 hours is a muuuuuuuch bigger barrier.

I was looking at SK attractions recently, food, lodging, all seemed reasonable. But again, absolutely ludicrous prices to get there so like... Guess I'm enjoying pizza and daydreaming about visiting places for another [number of years until I die]. Maybe then I can afford to visit other places.

    If you can get approved for a high end travel card and meet the spending requirements of the sign up offer, the bonus points will get you a round trip ticket to almost anywhere. Considering the annual fee on the card, as long as you don't keep the card for more than a year, it's something like 50-80% off the cost of the airfare.
