Yes. You don't have to be in an MLM, you don't have to do much of anything except work with a travel agent, you can fly free using frequent flyer miles, and that's about the only way. Forget all the nonsense you read about getting paid to travel, etc. Here is how you can travel for free:
The most common way is to apply for a credit card affiliated with an airline. Currently Citibank and American Airlines have one of the best offers going. Go to the AA.com site and sign up for an Advantage Citibank Mastercard. You will get 25,000 miles after you make $500 in purchases. There is no fee for the first year on this card and it's enough miles for a domestic round trip ticket. There are a lot of other airline miles offers with credit cards out there. Just do a search and you'll come across the sites. Pay attention to the fees. If you don't pay your credit card off each month, pay particular attention to the interest rate. Nothing is really totally free in the long run.
Free cruises and vacations: If you are able to put together a group, it's possible to go free. With cruises, you usually have to sell 10 cabins for one free cabin and that can be you. It's really not difficult. If you belong to a church, get a group together at work, or any organization, make up a flier with the help of an agent and you collect the money and have them sign the contracts. It's really that simple as your travel agent will process the rest of the booking and send in the money. It's getting your passengers to commit that is difficult.
Same goes for a land and air tour. Say you want to go to London for a week. You get a group of 20 people, 10 rooms with air and you can go free. It's handled the same way. Sometimes the amount of the group will depend upon the tour company, but that is currently the standard. Just about all destinations are included.
It is important that you have a clear contract with your travel agent and that agency. The agency must be IATAN accredited, willing to do a contract, and it meets both party's needs. Do not cut corners and I suggest you do not tell anyone you're going for free. You are responsible for providing information on the passengers, collect the money, make sure they know the travel rules, passport requirements, and you may be asked to be the leader. You should also have a contract with each passenger with everything spelled out including the cancellation penalties, insurance offered, etc. This is your compensation for your "free" trip.
