We do a deep-dive into all things travel with Brian Kelly, the founder of The Points Guy and author of the new book, How to Win at Travel.

Brian shares his extensive travel knowledge, offering invaluable tips on everything from finding the cheapest flights and mastering loyalty programs to overcoming the fear of flying and navigating jet lag.

We explore how to maximize credit card rewards, tips for redeeming points, and why some travel "bargains" might end up costing you more in the long run. Brian also offers practical advice on travel insurance, the dos and don’ts of booking flights and hotels, and the best tech tools for managing your travel experience.

Plus, we talk about how the world of loyalty programs is evolving, how Brian has evolved personally and professionally (including what it’s like being a father of two now), and why his 2024 year of no elite status with Delta has been liberating.
