Points, Miles & Travel Hacks (What Actually Works)

Linda King has spent years traveling the world and helping others do it smarter — and this week she’s sharing the real tips most people never hear.

• How to actually score an exit row for a few hundred dollars
• Why you should save your points for long-haul instead of short trips, the exact window to book redemptions
• Why you should never trust AI blindly when planning a trip

We also get into the wilder side of travel — a China incident that nearly went very wrong — and Linda’s philosophy on what actually makes travel meaningful, instead of just checking places off a list.

If you’ve ever felt travel-anxious or unsure where to even start planning, this is the episode to send yourself.
