Miles to Go - Travel Tips, News & Reviews You Can't Afford to Miss!

We cover a lot of ground today. There are some signals out there that travel demand may be tanking in the fall. Disney World prices are dropping this summer and Southwest recently offered a big fare sale for the fall. What's old is new again now that Norse Atlantic is reviving Norwegian Air's low-cost model with their airplanes. Are they worth it or will the fees crush your wallet? Delta makes another odd decision about SkyClub access. JetBlue vs Frontier vs Spirit is still popcorn worthy. United is launching new Australia service which may be great for award flights.

One of Marriott's credit cards has a new sign-up bonus that could be worth up to 250,000 Marriott Bonvoy points. Richard and I are breaking down the offer and whether it's really worth it. I also end up giving Richard marital advice, though you'll have to wait until the 39-minute mark for that one. In between we also discuss strategies for how to COVID test abroad and Richard gives us an update on the Singapore Airlines flight he's been trying to cancel for over a month.

He may have left his microphone behind but Richard Kerr remembered to bring his sense of humor. Still, he's pretty surprised when I share that my business partner has 4 million Marriott points.

We're recording from New Orleans the morning after the Freddie Awards and both Richard Kerr are on the struggle bus.

We're talking mainly about Hyatt and American AIrlines today and Richard Kerr is back in the saddle with me. Hyatt started adding new all-inclusive properties to the award chart, with an anticipated 50 to come in the next month. We take a look at the value proposition in relation to redeeming your points at one of these newly added properties. And, as points and miles nerds, we love the double-dip opportunities. Right now, you can earn miles on American Airlines, points on Marriott and make progress to elite status on American from your Uber rides. We also answer some listener questions on Las Vegas that are a follow-up to our deep dive on Vegas with Michael Trager.
