Hard to find the words (or decent photos, apparently) after almost 300 people joined us - from Minnesota, Cape Cod, LA, Memphis, Rhode Island, Memphis, Boston, Buffalo & the Netherlands (!!) - last night for the @thriftytraveler Podcast Live.
I’m just so immensely grateful that this is my job. And so proud of @Gunnarsolson & our entire team for what we’ve built.
Also, the Parkway rules.

Early this year, we had what seemed like a pipe dream for our new @thriftytraveler Podcast:
What if we did a live event? Probably at a small theater, 75-100 attendees max.
Tonight, we're taking over the Parkway Theater in Minneapolis ... with close to 300 (& counting) coming!

Two days, two text alerts for @thriftytraveler Premium members for some absurdly good business class deals - including the best Delta One SkyMiles deal to Europe in years🦄🥂
Who said flight deals have disappeared? Not us.
Who said SkyMiles are worthless? Definitely not us.

NEW: The latest federal inflation report shows airfare up almost 27% in May compared to the year prior. Woof.
But based on jet fuel prices trending down and what we're seeing on the flight deal front, I suspect the worst is behind us.
Doesn't mean fares will drop, though...

Big news in the world of points and miles: Chase just made some (overwhelmingly positive - with one big catch) changes to its popular Sapphire Preferred Card.
New benefits
Better spending categories for gas stations, EVs & vacation rentals
Free PreCheck or Global Entry
& more

In the credit card landscape, new benefits like these always mean a higher annual fee. It's why they do it.
Chase just bucked the trend. Full story from @jackson_newman thriftytraveler.com/news/cre…

Right after the trade I’d have called this a blunder but McCarron proved me wrong.
Guy is a dawg. A very tall dawg. #mnwild
As has been rumoured, the Minnesota Wild are closing in on re-signing Michael McCarron
He will be staying

The thought of someone flying from Singapore to LA in business class, then boarding a Southwest flight to Midway is just 🤌🤌🤌

Southwest just announced a partnership with Singapore Airlines and the top comment is:

For eight years the entire travel media landscape has tried to fill the void Bourdain left.
For eight years the entire travel media landscape has failed.
Wholly singular.

P.S. the book “In the Weeds” by longtime producer Tom Vitale is a must-read - a nuanced portrait of a man who was simultaneously far worse and even better than I could have imagined and the team he built around him.
