Travel Hacks

  • Use Skyscanner for both flights and car rental. 
  • Choose in-terminal car rentals, even if a few bucks extra. The meet and greets have proved very interesting. Read, sometimes nonexistent. 
  • Use Google Maps to check the location of (and search for) hotels and places to stay. Location is everything! 
  • Get a Chase Sapphire Reserve. Now. The hefty annual fee ($450) instantly becomes $150 after you’re reimbursed for anything travel related (including rideshares, people), and you get a Global Entry credit (worth $100, includes TSA Precheck). 
  • The points on the Reserve make it worth it, and you’ll then pay for glorious international (or domestic, should your heart desire) trips with those points.
  • Speaking of domestic travel, you can also transfer the points to travel partners like our beloved Southwest.
  • Ask us how to get the Southwest companion pass. 
  • To find the best grub spots in any location, simply use Google Maps and filter for “top rated.” Wala!
  • Guys. This one is huge. When booking a trip, be sure to check that in today’s technological world, autofill doesn’t change up your info. Avanti Daniel (Jon’s middle name) Bakane had to rebook a flight minutes prior to departure because Avanti Deepak Bakane was already on the flight. Jon on the other hand… was not.
