Zach Griff spent nearly seven years as The Points Guy's most recognizable reporter, filing dispatches from first-class cabins and airport lounges around the world—before walking away in 2025 to launch his own venture, From the Tray Table. Today he joins Matt to talk about what actually makes airline food good, the science of why food tastes different at 30,000 feet, the credit-card-fueled arms race over airport lounges, and how one might achieve the coveted Delta 360 status. And it's the return of Three Things, where Aliza and Matt discuss what's interesting in the food world and beyond including amazing juice at Olabisi Sips, stops at Morning Sunshine Market in Ellenville, NY, Eataly Caffè in Manhattan, and Win Son in Brooklyn. Also: Maya Kaimal's new Indo-Chinese sauce line, and watching Moonlighting for the first time is highly recommended.

Choice's loyalty refresh goes the opposite direction of most programs: easier to earn, easier to reach status, easier to redeem.

Over the past few days, there has been controversy in the frequent-flyer community about the apparent extension of Silver and Gold status by BA to people who had done hardly any flying with the airline. Rob Burgess, founder of the Head for Points website, has been telling me more.A spokesperson for IAG Loyalty, which runs the scheme for BA, said: "Due to a technical issue, some members (fewer than 1%) were incorrectly told they had retained their status, when they hadn't earned it, or been entitled to it. Because of this, we'll be contacting affected customers in the coming days to apologise and reinstate their correct tier.”This podcast is free, as is Independent Travel's weekly newsletter.

In this episode, Emily interviews Brendan Henrique, a fourth-year PhD student in education at the University of California, Berkeley. Brendan leverages his conference and research travel plus personal spending into free luxury travel by amassing credit card points and elite status at hotel chains. He breaks down how he pursues the points and miles hobby even while living on a grad student stipend and how it's motivated him to work hard so he can play hard. Brendan's travel habits might seem out of sync with his income or 'student' status, but it's achievable for many grad students who are free from credit card debt and have a small degree of savings.
