Episode Description
Adam of Travel Fanboy influencing fame drops by the podcast to discuss what it’s like to be a beginner, both as a miles and points person (previously) and as a content creator for miles and points beginners (currently). We have a wide ranging discussion about his being content booking domestic first class, what it’s like to work with people who aren’t insane about miles and points, casino stuff (natch), and a little bit about why he highly recommends everyone visit Detroit.
Also, we play some Word Sneak.
In Final Boarding Call Trevor checks in with some updates from his recent trip to Europe.
