End Of The Year Travel Review And 200% Donation Match!

 It's time to recap 2023 from a travel perspective for both Richard and Ed.  We're going over all the stats from the past year, the good, the bad and the ugly. We're also recapping the incredible AirFrance deal that ended up dying for most folks. And, we've got a great matching opportunity if you're looking to donate to a great cause.  We're joined by Erica Campbell, the CEO of Pinky Swear, an incredible organization originally conceptualized by an entrepenuerial 9-year old.  Listen to Erica tell us more about the mission of Pinky Swear. One of our listeners, Corey, will be matching the first $500 in donations to our fundraiser.  On top of that, Miles To Go is also matching the first $500 in donations.  Help us max out our donations this year!

And, Thrifty Traveler Premium is why I had a 3-hour head start on the best deal of 2023.  AirFrance was offering business class seats for 13,500 miles one-way. And, then it got even better when the seats were 1,500 miles one-way.  Sadly, many of the reservations got canceled.  Did your booking survive?
