You will find them getting upgrades, flying first/business class, and also flying Spirit Airlines! In this preview, Angel and Mackenzie talk about: Why hostels are great, but in some instances may cost you more than a hotel if you are not traveling solo. How and why Mackenzie almost booked a hostel for part of her honeymoon What travel was like for each of them growing up How Angel hacked her way to $7,000 to study abroad in Rome while in College How Mackenzie went from earning barely any points and miles through constant work travel to multiplying that earning through strategizing credit cards and stacking with shopping portals How both Angel and Mackenzie went from making textbook travel hacking mistakes to being speakers at one of the biggest travel hacking conferences, just three years later Why you shouldn't feel ashamed if you find travel hacking confusing--we've all been there!
