Is Travel Demand Slowing Down in 2025?

Watch Us On YouTube!

This week on Miles to Go, we break down several wild developments across the travel world alongside Julian Kheel of Points Path!

Topics include:

• Sweet biz-class deal to Africa—how we found it and why it was a no-brainer.

• American Airlines joins the touchless TSA PreCheck game—what it is and why you should care.

• Southwest's radical shift: introducing checked bag fees and removing same-day changes for elites.

• Solo traveler surcharge? A few airlines rolled out (then pulled back) pricing that charges solo travelers more than pairs—here's what's really happening.

• Listener Q&A: How much time do you actually need for an international connection? Plus: a lively NYC check-in, Spirit vs. JetBlue fares to Florida, Disney Cruise holiday discounts, Vegas hotel softness, and a quick update on Points Path.
