Deep dives on frequent flyer programs, State Department travel advisories, and an extended conversation with Andrew McCarthy

What this episode covers

This week's Eye on Travel Podcast with Peter Greenberg. A deep dive into airline frequent flyer programs and a discussion with aviation business expert Mike Boyd, on our obsession with mileage programs and whether or not they have reached a legal definition of fraud. Then, the power and impact of State Department travel advisories? Most recently the U.S. has issued an advisory for Americans to "reconsider travel" to Jamaica. We’ll speak with Jamaica’s Tourism Minister Edmund Bartlett on the immediate and long term effects of these advisories. Are they being painted with too broad a brush? What travelers need to know. Finally, Andrew McCarthy - Actor, Producer, Director and Author of Walking with Sam - shares his experience walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain, and how that journey changed the dynamic, not to mention the strength of his relationship with his son.
