Vacation Mode is a family-owned business. We are the Hodge Family, we love to travel and we use travel hacking techniques to travel often and inexpensively as possible. On top of that, we like to upgrade our travel, too, using these techniques.

Little upgrades and extras can make a vacation even more special: upgrading to first-class with points, staying in the lounge at the airport, even using credit card benefit that pays for Pre Check for you. These are some of the things that make travel more enjoyable.

Not only is this a family business with all members providing stories, but we also have contributing writers from all over the world.
