In Episode 130 of the Award Travel 101 podcast, Mike Zaccheo and Angie Sparks dive into a range of updates and insights. They kick things off with a community highlight from Chris, who shared a Europe trip report and crowd-sourced suggestions for future destinations—Angie recommended Slovenia. They then covered loyalty program news, including a Flying Blue and Accor giveaway of 1 million points, Bilt’s new Virtuoso-partnered hotel booking platform, a 100k mile welcome offer on the new United Business Card, and Hyatt’s new award points calendar for easier booking. Angie also highlighted ZorkFest 2025, which blends casino and award travel education, and shared a promo code for listeners.

The main topic was London—one of both Mike and Angie’s favorite cities. She and Mike discussed flying into various London airports, taking Eurostar, and their own travel experiences ranging from BA economy to a private plane. Lodging options included everything from Airbnbs to luxury hotels, with recommendations for Hyatt properties across categories. They shared top attractions like the British Library, Tower of London, and Churchill War Rooms, plus pro tips for museums, theater, and even cricket. Trip planning notes, a Miami Meetup announcement, and updates on their own travels rounded out the episode.
