Julian KheelFounder and CEOPoints PathOver the last 15 years, Julian Kheel has become one of the world's top experts on travel rewards. He first learned the ins and outs of travel loyalty programs while flying more than 200,000 miles a year as a TV producer and director for World Wrestling Entertainment (and yes, of course it's all real). He expanded his expertise on travel topics in the following years, writing about travel for U.S. News and World Report, along with popular weekly columns for the travel rewards websites Frequent Miler and Travel Codex.Noting Kheel's growing following, he was recruited in 2016 to work at The Points Guy, the largest website in the world covering travel rewards, where he served as both Editorial Director and Director of Special Projects. He was the creator of the site's now‐annual “Best and Worst U.S. Airlines” special report, as well as personally authoring its first and second yearly editions, both of which drew attention from hundreds of media outlets across the country.Following his time at The Points Guy, Kheel became a Senior Editor at CNN covering both travel and finance topics, and launched the company's first e‐commerce division focused on travel rewards. Battling through the global stoppage in travel from the pandemic, he grew the small section from its infancy to over seven figures of annual revenue in only three years.In 2023, Kheel left CNN to become the founder and CEO of Points Path, a company that helps people utilize their travel rewards. The company's browser extension not only shows travelers the cost in points and miles of every flight directly in Google Flights, but also indicates whether using points or miles for each flight is the better deal. In just 8 months, Points Path has grown to over 40,000 users, and has been lauded by numerous travel publications.Kheel has appeared regularly as an analyst to discuss finance, travel and loyalty programs on national television segments for CNN, Bloomberg News, CNBC's “Squawk Box,” Yahoo Finance and Cheddar TV, as well as on ABC and CBS Radio. He has been quoted in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, the Chicago Tribune, and many other print and web outlets on travel-related topics. He has also worked as a consultant for the “Big 3” US airlines, advising them on their frequent flyer programs.Originally from New York and South Florida, Kheel is a graduate of Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Public Communications with a bachelor's degree in television, radio and film production. His hobbies include managing his ever‐changing personal inventory of 25+ credit cards while maintaining a credit score of over 800.summaryIn this episode of the Big World Made Small podcast, host Jason Elkins interviews Julian Kheel, founder and CEO of Points Path. Julian shares his unique journey from being a reluctant traveler to becoming an expert in travel rewards and frequent flyer miles. He discusses his experience working with WWE, the importance of understanding travel points, and how Points Path simplifies the process of finding the best flight deals. The conversation also covers tips for maximizing travel rewards, the value of credit cards, and the future of Points Path.takeawaysJulian Kheel initially disliked travel but overcame his discomfort through frequent flying for work.Points Path is a browser extension that helps users find the best flight deals using points or cash.Frequent flyer programs are more valuable than airlines themselves, especially post-pandemic.S Learn more about Big World Made Small Adventure Travel Marketing and join our private community to get episode updates, special access to our guests, and exclusive adventure travel offers on our website.

We get some ‘healthy and hydrated' skin tips from Dr. Susan Poelman - Associate Professor at the University of Calgary Division of Dermatology - and Co-Director of “Beacon Dermatology”.

As a child, Autumn Carolynn gazed skyward, dreaming of the day she'd soar above the clouds. Now, with the passport stamps of 30 countries adorning her well-traveled pages, she sits down with me, Christi Cassidy, to recount her evolution from a flight attendant to a travel design manager and travel photographer. Our conversation sweeps across the globe, from the academic pathways of Canterbury to the high skies and the intricate world of travel planning. Autumn's stories are a mosaic of laughter, mishaps and invaluable insights that remind us of travel's transformative power on our lives.Have you ever wondered what it takes to confidently navigate the globe alone? Autumn opens the curtain on the challenges and triumphs of solo travel, her journey into the world of flight attendants—where every half-point in training could change your fate—and the artistry behind capturing moments that tell a story. She shares personal anecdotes and practical tips, and together we celebrate the special kind of magic one finds in new destinations and long-lasting memories made with friends, strangers and loved ones alike.Wrapping up our adventure, we tackle the intricacies of trip planning, from choosing accommodations to embracing the spontaneity of travel. Autumn encourages us to push past travel anxiety, to seize the day and book that flight, immersing ourselves in the rich tapestry of cultures awaiting discovery. Her book, Traveling in Wonder, beckons with tales from her voyages and serves as a guide for the anxious traveler seeking to conquer fears. So, tune in, get inspired, and perhaps you'll find yourself planning your own journey into the wonderful world of travel. -------- HIGHLIGHTS ---------0:03:10 - Childhood Dream of Becoming Flight Attendant 0:06:18 - Followed Gut Feeling, Became Flight Attendant 0:12:05 - Benefits of Solo vs Group Travel 0:18:53 - Rediscovering Photography During Lockdown 0:43:55 - Finding Flight Deals Using Kayak 0:47:27 - Advancements in Travel Technology 0:51:17 - Flexible Travel Plans and Destinations 0:53:42 - Overcoming Anxiety Through New Experiences  Resources recommended by Autumn Carolynn:KayakHostelworld.comViatorReddit - travel subredditCouchsurfing.comRick Steves travel guides Places mentioned in this episode:Minneapolis, MinnesotaCanterbury, EnglandNewcastle, EnglandAustraliaCosta RicaSan FranciscoIcelandChicago, IllinoisElmhurst, IllinoisIllinois State UniversityNorwayJapanBudapest, HungarySeoul, South Korea Contact information:Website: https://autumncarolynn.comInstagram, Facebook and YouTube: @autumncarolynnphotographyTikTok: @autumncarolynnphotograph (no y)  CREDITSHost and creator: Christi CassidyContact: christi@movingalongpodcast.comArtwork by Phyllis BusellMusic by Eve's Blue.

Welcome to Part 2 of the Metaphysical podcast's dive into time travel. It seems like nobody is talking much about the actual time travel machines and gadgets that have been reported to exist—and the weird details about them—so Rob and John decided it was about “time.” Hear tales of the wearable “Chronovisor” allegedly used to see scenes from other time periods and project them on a screen. Hear about the mind and time experiments done during the Montauk Project. Ponder the secret, Nazi time travel device “Die Glocke” and whether Hitler really had such a bell-shaped instrument, given his other occult pursuits. Then, discover one of the most famous stories of time travel out there, about the mysterious John Titor, because everyone asks John Vivanco to remote view whether Titor's story was real. Was Titor really a time traveler who sent Art Bell a fax and posted in online forums around the year 2000? Was the whole situation a psychological operation? Or was it just a hoax for gullible internet users? What's so special about IBM 5100 computers from the ‘70s that could be valuable in the future in the first place? Find out all about it. Also in this episode, hear about A.I. time machine patents, more stories about time travel, and what John and Rob think it all really means. Amazingly, you can easily find patents for “Method of gravity distortion and time displacement” and “A.I. Time Machine” online. Why is this technology important to people and artificial intelligence in the first place? Why are some patents talking about psychic robots, video games, and virtual worlds?

Back behind the mic after 3 week of travel in Croatia and Italy. The trip went amazingly well up to the last leg, when United's Newark team couldn't get our bags on our plane. But, I'd stuffed Apple AirTags into our luggage, so we were able to track their movements 'til they got home. That experience and a listener's tweet led to me re-visiting my travel tech stack. We then talk to Jeff Cioletti, author of the new book Imbibing for Introverts, about the art of drinking alone.Check out this episode's show notes here

In 2016, ITB Berlin celebrated its 50th anniversary. The anniversary was the festive occasion for us to visit various destinations worldwide to thank them personally on site - under the motto "From Berlin With Love!" 50 topics or events from 50 destinations worldwide were selected as a hook for the visits, each related to tourism, politics, social issues, nature or history. 50 ITB Ambassadors (Ambassadors) from Berlin each visited a local Representative on site, with both people having a personal connection to the topic. During the personal meeting, an interview was conducted and each was presented with an ITB Buddy Bear. Today, we are reviving these emotional stories, true to the motto: "What's up with the ITB Berlin Bears?" Namely, we wanted to know how the Representatives have fared over the past 5 years, what they have experienced and learned, how the pandemic has impacted their work, and what their biggest wish is for the future. Join us on this adventure!

No travel since the last episode, so just talking through a random potpourri of travel stuff. There's more travel planning; this time for a couple of weeks split between London and Wales which means sorting through a new set of COVID travel requirements. We look at some stats -- Uber's latest financials and how deeply last year's lockdown hit Nashville airport vendors. I marvel at how much European mobile data rates have fallen, strip down my English to have a deeper chat with an Italian bartender, and wrap it all up with highlights from this year's traveler's gift guide.Check out this episode's show notes here and the 2021 Traveler's Gift Guide post here

A glimmer of hope for Kiwis stranded overseas because they can't get a spot in managed isolation. The Government's making a major announcement about changes to the MIQ system today. Shorter MIQ stays for returnees, home quarantine, and possibly no quarantine from safe countries could be in the mix. Travel technology consultant Mike Moore told Kate Hawkesby home quarantine has been used successfully in countries like Taiwan, by using things like apps and phone calls. He said reducing MIQ from 14 to seven days is one of the things mooted. “That actually only increases the number of people you let into the country from 350 to 700 a day so that's still massively massively short of demand.” LISTEN ABOVE

The unconventional stories of a company's founding are often the most interesting - rather than the fairly formulaic idea-when-traveling-Y-Combinator-seed-investment-route.After studies overseas, Richard Valtr was back in his home country of the Czech Republic and helping with a family project to renovate and build a hotel, when the concept of Mews was formed.Now powering 2,000 hospitality brands around the world, Mews is a platform to automate and simplify operations for hotels and their guests.Payments, front- and back-office functions, guest apps and business intel - Mews has come a long since its foundation in 2012.Valtr and team have not trodden the typical path favored by other startups in travel, tourism and hospitality, having not taken on any external funding until 2016 or built out a sales team until solid revenue was coming in the front door.Valtr joins us as the latest guest on How I Got Here.HIGH is a weekly show produced by PhocusWire and Mozio, aimed at getting the inside stories behind startups and innovation in travel and transportation.It's hosted by PhocusWire's editor in chief, Kevin May, and Mozio co-founder and CEO David Litwak.

Tours, activities and attractions are at the sharp end of figuring out how to recover from the coronavirus pandemic.They are, at least in the leisure segment of the travel industry, often the reason why people travel in the first place.But for many of those that are located in countries that are able to start reopening, they are realizing that it's hard having to grapple with issues around hygiene, social distancing and, of course, attracting visitors.Luuc Elzinga, president of Netherlands-based Tiqets, which takes bookings for big-ticket attractions around the world, joins us on the latest episode of InPhocus to talk about the issues that many suppliers are facing.We also get into the tactics that attractions are using to market to new audiences (essentially, domestic and local customers) and the on-site challenges that need to be addressed.Hosting this week's episode are Alice Jong of Phocuswright and PhocusWire's Kevin May.

IATA's New Distribution Capability project had a rocky start in its bid to redefine airline distribution.But recent years have seen a cooling of the anger from many sides that surrounded its early days - with almost some sense of peace in the valley between airlines, global distribution systems, intermediaries and other technology players.But will its gradual adoption by relevant parties in the ecosystem have been hindered or helped by the outbreak of the coronavirus?Norm Rose, a Phocuswright analyst and veteran travel technology consultant, thinks the reset phase that airlines currently find themselves in will accelerate NDC as a standard (and more) in aviation.He described his theory in a post on his website last week and we followed up with him on InPhocus to find about more.PhocusWire's Linda Fox and Kevin May host this week's episode, book-ending the interview with Rose.

It was the deal that would supposedly help Sabre shape its quest to modernize airline distribution.The November 2018 acquisition of Farelogix (coming in at $360 million) was touted as Sabre's way to "offer the innovative and comprehensive solutions that airlines require."But it didn't turn out that way, as we now know. Regulators had other ideas.In August last year the Department of Justice filed a lawsuit to block the acquisition, claiming it would eliminate competition that had "substantially benefited airlines and consumers."Sabre dug in and went to court.On April 7, a U.S. court decided in favor of the deal but then, just a few days later, a decision by the U.K.’s Competition & Markets Authority effectively killed the planned acquisition.Sabre formally pulled the deal on May 1.In this latest episode of InPhocus, PhocusWire's Kevin May talks to Jim Davidson, CEO of Farelogix, to get his take on the entire story, including the background to the deal, the court case, the decision to nix the acquisition two weeks ago and what's next for the business.

In this episode I talk to Máire P. Walsh.  Máire is one of my wonderful cousins. She’s originally from Ireland but has been living and working in San Francisco for over 15 years. She now considers both home. And is fortunate to work in a capacity that allows her to support Irish companies in Travel Technology while being based in SF. Máire was quick to point out that she’s at the beginning of her Becoming Aligned Journey.  I might argue with her a bit... I am family after all;-) Because I can see the process of becoming more aligned in how she approached her move to SF and how she became involved in the community there.  It’s undeniable that she’s currently experiencing a new level of personal growth and of becoming aligned.  Some of this is based on choices she’s been able to make for herself in terms of her career. And some of this is based on situations she has no control over. I really appreciated her sharing about both of those experiences.  She has so many wonderful nuggets of wisdom to offer.   In particular, I appreciate that she was willing to share and be open about her experiences managing grief and her feelings around that.  We talk about how this experience has drastically shifted her perspective and learn how she’s staying focused on what’s truly important and taking care of herself in the process. I’m grateful for this conversation and hope you enjoy it as well! To learn more about this episode and any resources mentioned, please see the show notes.

As business travelers we often rely on technology to travel smarter but many times two things occur:We get set in our ways, I call a Road Rut, and we stop learning and experimentingWe're unaware of all the options out there and hence today's interview..This week we interview Jeff Feldman project manager, and fellow road warrior. We will ask him the following questions:What should we think about or maybe pre-plan to make things maybe go a bit smoother?What if I forget something really important like my passportWhat websites that can help us better plan travel so that we can make traveling just a little easier and maybe more palatable?What “equipment” do you suggest we carry when we travel for business?Answers to these questions and so much MORE.If you're new to the show, every episode has a physical or mental energy habit focus that we'll highlight and many will have a corresponding article (see show notes and the ERW website).Extended Show Notes

Doing Business in Emerging Economies What are Emerging Economies? The emerging economies are countries like Iran, Brazil, India, Russia, Turkey, Argentina and China. Zara hails from Iran, or Persia. She tells us that Iran is the original name, then it became Persia only to revert to Iran.   Zara Zamani - her background Zara's official forename is spelt Zahra, but she has gone by Zara since aged 12. She is just 32, but Zara runs 2 companies, each with 3 business sections. Zara was born in Iran. She is very proud to be from Iran too. When she took up her studies, she studied in Malaysia, Iran and the United Kingdom. She currently is studying part time in Sweden. Then studied electronics and petroleum engineering. After that, Zara took up business law and business management and later ended up in innovation sciences. Zara has always been working. She started her first business aged 7 and was privileged to work in a multi-cultural environment. Zara worked as a field engineer in the oil and gas industry where only 3% of the workforce was female. After more than a decade away from Iran, when she returned, she discovered Iranian ladies were not allowed to work on oil and gas rigs. This limitation created an opportunity for Zara Zamani. She became an entrepreneur. How did Zara get into the travel business? She decided to travel around Iran, to get to know her country better. It became obvious there was a desperate need for travel technology and infrastructural technology in this emerging economy. The market gap was identified and that is how she got started - in travel technology. Here's a snippet from her http://www.egsdigital.com website Watch Zara Explain The State of Travel Technology in Iran Graham Arrowsmith asks Zara Zamani about the state of travel technology in Iran. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Zara-Zamani-the-problem-of-travel-technology-in-Iran.mp4   Iran is actually attracting visitors. Despite sanctions. See this link to an article in The Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/middle-east/iran/Galleries/Irans-travel-highlights/ It is also one of the cheapest destinations for tourism in the world. The political issues do prevent tourism. Beyond the political, there are so many other barriers, similar to other emerging economies, than limit innovation, certainly when it comes to technology. Huge opportunity for business in this emerging economy Her travel business required many international agreements. Zara wanted to give travel services abroad access to Iranians. And to tourists coming to Iran. There is no Expedia. Right now, there is basically NO competition. That's a feature of an emerging economy. If you are prepared to innovate, then there is huge opportunity. Right now, a lot of the innovation is INNOVATION IMMITATION. This is the first phase to generating original innovation. What are the characteristics of emerging economies? These are the things that make it a dream investment: They have a large population of young educated professionals. A huge population of young ICT users. (information and communications technology) - which means if you have a tech solution, users will be onboard quickly. Very little competition. Had Expedia been present in Iran, Zara would have had to send her CV to loads of companies!! Market growth is very rapid. There is an expanding middle class. This means more purchase power by people. Operation costs are much lower. There is a higher return of investment (especially important for entrepreneurs). The emerging economies are reaching originality This idea of imitation has almost reached originality in emerging economies. Her booking engine business was required by people in Iran. But, Zara realised that copying Expedia is NOT good enough. She has localised her business. Innovation PLUS culture. You have to know what EXTRA the local people need.
