    I was not part of the points hobby but found this looking for episodes about a specific travel destination. But once I listened I was hooked! I’m starting this hobby now. Thank you ladies! I’m so excited!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

207. Is Flying Southwest Still Worth It? Breaking Down the Changes for Families with Jason Steele
Q: What are your thoughts on the Companion Pass and the new Southwest debit card?
Companion Pass remains a strong value for many, but its long-term future is uncertain; the new debit card adds a potential stream of Companion Pass-related boosts, though it's important to balance that with overall card strategy and risk.
207. Is Flying Southwest Still Worth It? Breaking Down the Changes for Families with Jason Steele
Q: How have the fare classes and seating changes impacted family travel planning?
Choice fares offer same-day movement and the ability to sit together; Basic fares are cheaper but limit changes, so many families weigh the trade-off between cost and flexibility, especially when booking multiple seats.
207. Is Flying Southwest Still Worth It? Breaking Down the Changes for Families with Jason Steele
Q: Before we dig into the nitty gritty, what is your big picture take on Southwest's direction?
It's a mixed bag; customer experience is declining somewhat, but there are still strong elements like flexibility with seating and the Companion Pass that keep it valuable for families, depending on how you use rewards and cards.
203. Galápagos on Points: How to Book This Bucket-List Trip for Less with @AdventuringPartyof4
Q: How did you handle inter-island travel within the Galápagos?
We chose to fly between islands rather than take ferries whenever possible to save time and reduce fatigue; inter-island flights were booked through local carriers (e.g., Avianca) and the other well-known providers ESOV and a partner airline, balancing safety and scenery for the family.
203. Galápagos on Points: How to Book This Bucket-List Trip for Less with @AdventuringPartyof4
Q: What was your approach to booking flights and connecting to the Galápagos from the U.S.?
We started with Quito as the anchor, using a mix of programs (Qantas for the first leg, Avianca for the internal legs, and some American Airlines routing). We kept an eye on transfer bonuses and used tools like Daydream Explorer to keep options open, then aligned hotel stays with a combination of portals and direct redemptions.
