About The Expat Flyer

Emirates 777 over the Burj Khalifa Dubai

Hello, I’m Patrick. I grew up an expat kid. My earliest childhood memory is of sunrise over the Alps from the upper deck of a KLM 747 as we flew home on an annual home leave trip.

I’ve worked as an expat in Switzerland, Singapore and the Middle East. I’m now bringing up an expat family in the UAE.

Expats fly a lot. Like everyone else we fly for work and we fly for holidays. But we also have to fly to maintain relationships with friends and family spread across the globe.

When you fly this much, it is vital to make the budget stretch as far as possible and the journey as comfortable as possible.

That’s why I created The Expat Flyer to help other expats like me, living in the UAE, make the most of opportunities to earn and spend miles and points.
