Episode 28 - Travel, Updated: How to Navigate Rising Costs, Airline Changes, and Global Disruptions

from Checked Bags and Big Tags · host Ilisa Oman and Sean Mouttet

In this episode of Checked Bags and Big Tags, Ilisa and Sean break down what's really driving the frustration travelers are feeling right now—and how to stay one step ahead. From overpriced hotel breakfasts and seat upgrades that don't deliver, to quiet airline rule changes and risky tight connections, they explain where travelers are losing money (often without realizing it). They also unpack how recent geopolitical events impacted Caribbean travel during peak season, why thousands of travelers were caught off guard, and how working with a travel advisor—and the right travel insurance—can make all the difference when plans suddenly change. The takeaway? Travel today isn't "set it and forget it." A little knowledge, flexibility, and planning buffer can protect both your trip and your wallet. 🎧 Tune in for practical advice, real-world examples, and smarter ways to travel in an unpredictable world.
