Ep. 31: Decision Making In Travel: What to book first? Where to travel?
Today we are talking about decisions, decisions, decisions. Do you book flight or hotel first? How do you choose where to travel? What are the best lounges to visit? In this episode, Angel and Mackenzie walk you through their thought processes when it comes to choosing:
• How to decide where to travel: deal vs. destination, and how to combine the two
• How to use points for backup plans if you don’t immediately see a deal but need to go somewhere
• Having an “FU fund” of points for back up flights
• How to choose positioning flight cities or layover cities
• How to decide which lounge to go to
• Our ranking of which lounges we prefer
• The power of making a decision and sticking to it to learn your preferences
..and more!
