Episode 57: Show Notes. Sometimes you just need to do some travel banter! And who better to do it with than TravelZork Travel's Michael Trager? In today's conversation, we discuss our recent travel experiences and dig into the nitty gritty of points, upgrades, flight paths, and so much more. To kick things off, we hear all about Michael's recent trip to Madrid and the benefits of American Airlines' ConciergeKey status, which Michael has access to thanks to his wife, Ellen! We then discuss optimal flight paths to Europe from different parts of the US, why JetBlue is on the naughty list this week, and how to optimize your next trip to Vegas. Next, we explore the flagship lounge and dining experience on different airlines, before discussing why it sometimes makes sense to pay for travel (because you can't do everything on points) and the exceptional cases where we break our own rules. We also dive into Marriott points and benefits, including getting the fifth night free, the challenges of hotel hopping, and the importance of a positive arrival experience; especially if you have your family in tow. Finally, Michael tells us the essential details and updates for ZorkFest 2025, including the festival's four-star accommodation, their new miles and points labs, their epic foodie and beverage dining experience, the speakers they have lined up, and much more.

If you enjoy the podcast, I hope you'll take a moment to leave us a rating. That helps us grow our audience! Watch us on YouTube!  We're starting this week's episode with some bad news about Southwest Airlines. Amid rumors and internal announcements that the airline would make some cuts, they announced pretty massive service cuts to service from Atlanta. These airports will soon no longer see service from Southwest out of Atlanta: Cleveland Fort Lauderdale Fort Myers, Florida Greenville/Spartanburg, South Carolina Jackson, Mississippi Jacksonville, Florida Louisville, Kentucky Memphis Miami Milwaukee Oklahoma City Omaha Philadelphia Richmond, Virginia Sarasota, Florida We interrupt this somber news day to talk about our friend Michael Trager's event ZorkFest. Not only is ZorkFest a great event to learn about travel AND how to play the Vegas status game, it's also where Richard and Ed first connected (no matter how much Richard says otherwise). If you want to register, we have two discount codes you can use: Code "pizzalate88" gets you $50 off a ZorkFest ticket Use code "wish" to have Trager donate $88 to Make a Wish Nevada on your behalf. And, we end the show on a sad note, talking about how Southwest's new assigned seating will work. It's about the worst of the possible scenarios we contemplated a few weeks ago. If you're looking for a way to support the show, we'd love to have you join us in our Travel Slack Community.  Join me and other travel experts for informative conversations about the travel world, the best ways to use your miles and points, Zoom happy hours and exciting giveaways. Monthly access Annual access Personal consultation plus annual access We have witty, funny, sarcastic discussions about travel, for members only. My fellow travel experts are available to answer your questions and we host video chats multiple times per month. See More: https://milestogo.boardingarea.com/ Follow Us!
