This week we sat down with the amazing Jen from @DiveIntoPoints to hear all about her incredible points-powered trip to Italy. She and a friend flew in style, stayed in dreamy locations across the country, and packed a lot into just nine days—without spending a fortune. In this episode, we talk through what it’s like to fly Emirates business class there and Emirates FIRST CLASS home (hello, shower in the sky!), how Jen planned the trip after a sudden change in plans, and what destinations made the biggest impact.

We also get into which tourist spots felt worth the hype, which ones she might skip next time, and how she made the most of her time across Rome, Florence, Amalfi, and Milan. If you’re dreaming of Italy—or trying to decide where to go—this conversation is full of insight, inspiration and tips that’ll have you pulling up your points balances and looking at flights.
