Richard made the smart choice to ditch us this week and hang out with his family at Disney World. That means we’re stuck with Julian Kheel, founder of Points Path, stepping up to the microphone to fill in. We wanted to know what was in Julian’s wallet and also figure out what the latest details are regarding Points Path. Julian has added a ton of new features since the last time he was on the show.
We also get Julian’s thoughts on American Airlines’ flight attendants turning down a big raise and doubling down on a potential strike during the summer travel season.
Lastly, we’re taking a look at some comments from United Airlines CEO, Scott Kirby, that have definitely raised some eyebrows.

It’s time to recap 2023 from a travel perspective for both Richard and Ed. We’re going over all the stats from the past year, the good, the bad and the ugly.
We’re also recapping the incredible AirFrance deal that ended up dying for most folks.
And, we’ve got a great matching opportunity if you’re looking to donate to a great cause. We’re joined by Erica Campbell, the CEO of Pinky Swear, an incredible organization originally conceptualized by an entrepenuerial 9-year old.
Listen to Erica tell us more about the mission of Pinky Swear.
One of our listeners, Corey, will be matching the first $500 in donations to our fundraiser. On top of that, Miles To Go is also matching the first $500 in donations. Help us max out our donations this year!
