The end of the year is in sight, so it’s time for Gunnar and Kyle to pretend like they’re high schoolers on the pod (honestly, not a stretch) for some 2025 superlatives, yearbook style. Who was the class clown of travel? Most popular? Cutest couple? Best hairline?! Plus, the guys unveil the winners of TT’s second-annual First Class and Lavatory Awards, recognizing the absolute best and rock-bottom worst from the year of travel. Oh, and Kyle shares his unattainable childhood dreams and what he was really like in high school.Watch us on YouTube!0:00 - Kicking off our 2025 travel superlatives with “Class Clown” & “Most Popular”4:14 - Recapping (some) of the 25 best flight deals of the year14:29 - A word from our sponsor: HotelSlash, the easiest way to book a cheaper hotel stay - & rebook when prices drop15:23 - The rest of our 2025 travel superlatives, including “Cutest Couple,” “Most Ambitious” & more21:11 - The Worst Glow Up (… is that a thing?) of 202526:31 - The Best Dressed Airline of 2025 30:06 - A back-to-back “Best Hair” winner & Most Likely to Cheer You Up37:17 - Our second-annual First Class & Lavatory Awards (recognizing the best and worst in travel) go to…47:02 - On the spot: What was Kyle like in high school?Produced and edited by Sylvia ThomasVideo editing by Kyle ThomasShow music: “All That” by Benjamin Tissot  Support the show by leaving us a rating and a review wherever you get your podcasts! Have a question you want answered on-air or an idea for the show?
