Disclaimer: I have zero interest in any of these jobs, nor do I personally know anyone who would. I am just being nosy.
In London, you would be looking at around £28-£30,000 ($45,000) for a 'press release re-writing' journalist job on a small trade magazine.

(Full free healthcare and a guarantee that no-one in your office is carrying a gun is of course part of the Uk package too :-) We also promise that our policemen won't kill you, even if you're not white.)

Not sure if you can command a premium for having miles and points knowledge!

In general travel writing, in fact any sort of trade magazine journalism, is a poorly paid sector, we pay our nanny far more than that.
