Sacre Bleu! A Delta Flash Sale! Look, But Don't Touch..... Feb 15, 2023

Richard is back on this side of the pond and we've got a lot to cover. There's a pretty amazing Virgin Voyages deal out there right now. If you're looking for a great adults-only cruise you should definitely consider this. It can be fully booked with points, including taxes and fees!

There's a Delta Flash Sale that falls under a new header for mileage redemption. "Look, but don't touch!"

Costco has some pretty solid travel deals right now including a really good package to Universal Orlando.

And, we're recapping the final part of Richard's trip, including Disneyland Paris and our horrible pronunciation of Hyatt Regency Paris L'etoile. Oh, and the Air France business class experience that still has us scratching our heads.

I'm Upgrading Your Next United Flight And We're Talking Credit Card Strategy Dec 28, 2022

Show notes

I have a bunch of United PlusPoints that are due to expire, so I'm upgrading a few lucky listeners. If you have a United flight in January or February and there's upgrade inventory, shoot me a note via e-mail or DM. But first, make sure you have United Expert Mode enabled and then check to see what upgrade inventory looks like on your flight. If an upgrade is available or looks likely, let me know and I'll try to upgrade you.

Richard and I are answering a listener question about year-end status challenges and we're also discussing a really bad take on CLEAR, the service that helps you bypass the line at the airport.

New Hyatt Properties And Help Richard Find A French Farm Dec 21, 2022
