This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel updates on the world of travel slowly coming back, from countries slowly opening to the real back story of airline frequent flyer programs and what you really need to know about your miles and points. Peter commemorates Pride month, and the intersection of that movement with the travel experience. The conversation includes Brian Kelly, Founder and CEO of The Points Guy, who argues the importance of travel to places that might not be fully LGBTQ+ friendly. Maritime historian Peter Knego on the evolution of gay travel, especially on cruise ships. Then, Gary Leff, who writes one of the better websites around, ViewfromtheWing.com, on the real valuation of frequent flyer programs and why you should use your miles now. And, if you’re feeling isolated during the pandemic, we reach out to the South Atlantic and Vince Thompson, on one of the most remote locations in the world — the island of St. Helena. There’s all of this, plus more answers to your calls and emails, on this week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel.
