The NFL Draft is over. Our Airline Mileage Program Draft is here as Gunnar and Kyle each pick their top 5 frequent flyer programs. Which airline pulled a Shedeur Sanders and slid into a later round? And more importantly, who wins: Gunnar or Kyle? Oh, and the guys also talk about a crazy Delta SkyMiles sale, Tulum losing its luster, and getting to Italy for next year’s Winter Olympics.

Be sure to vote in the comments 

(00:00) - Is this going to be the best Olympics ever for travelers?

(04:30) - The best Delta SkyMiles sale we’ve ever seen to Asia: Just 25K roundtrip!

(09:08) - Has Tulum lost its buzz? 

(12:20) - A word from our sponsor (us … and our flight deal service!)

(13:50) - Our 2025 Thrifty Traveler Airline Mileage Program Draft!
