On this episode I’m joined by Bethany Walsh, the creator of the site Bougie Miles. She gives us three tips on how to be a bougie traveler on a budget and, of course, we talk a little Vegas. Bethany likes to focus on flights for a bougie trip because hotel status can be fairly easy to obtain. She details tools she uses to search for flights, why using the portal is undervalued, and how she gets a great deal on Aria's Sky Suites. Be sure to check out her site, BougieMiles.com Notes and such:  TFBourbon trip to Louisville is Nov 8 and 9. Let TFB know if you'd liked to join in any of the festivities. TFB will be at the Chicago seminars October 18-20 Thanks to Jim for joining the patreon.com/travelfanboy bunker!
