BIG ask this week! We're conducting another fundraiser for an incredible organization, Give Kids The World. These are the "behind the scenes" folks who help Make-A-Wish vacations happen for critically ill children. Give Kids The World provides free housing, meals, medical staff, theme park tickets and so much more to make these wishes come true.
Even if you only can spare $5, we'd love to have you support the fundraiser. AND, if we can raise $1,000 to my link, I'm matching it with $1,000 of my own money.
Here's my fundraising link!

We're starting this week's episode with some bad news about Southwest Airlines. Amid rumors and internal announcements that the airline would make some cuts, they announced pretty massive service cuts to service from Atlanta. These airports will soon no longer see service from Southwest out of Atlanta:
We interrupt this somber news day to talk about our friend Michael Trager's event ZorkFest. Not only is ZorkFest a great event to learn about travel AND how to play the Vegas status game, it's also where Richard and Ed first connected (no matter how much Richard says otherwise). If you want to register, we have two discount codes you can use:
Code "pizzalate88" gets you $50 off a ZorkFest ticket
Use code "wish" to have Trager donate $88 to Make a Wish Nevada on your behalf.
And, we end the show on a sad note, talking about how Southwest's new assigned seating will work. It's about the worst of the possible scenarios we contemplated a few weeks ago.

Richard notches his first flight out of Toronto's Billy Bishop Airport, one of the truly unique airports in the world. The airport sits on an island next to downtown. It can be reached by a very short ferry boat ride or a quick walk via underground tunnel.
He also breaks down his first foray into medical tourism, including all the details on how to travel to Canada and get a prescription filled.
Now that Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines have solidified their merger, there are a number of questions that go along with the details. We're breaking down all of them, including whether your Alaska and Hawaiian miles are safe from a "devaluation" (cue Jeremiah's noise machine). https://w

Richard and Ed are discussing the new Westin Bora Bora. Ed has trivia questions for Richard to guess in regards to how many points and how big the resort fee is.
They're also answering questions from the Slack community, including one about what you should do if there's a strike at a hotel where you have an upcoming stay. They also answer producer Jeremiah's question about how to make sure his wife has a great time while in port in Curacao (likely while Jeremiah is home eating baloney sandwiches and taking care of the kids).
