I’m Brian Kelly, The Points Guy. In 2010, I started a blog for fun to show how to use frequent flyer miles and credit card points to book trips. And it took off like crazy. Now I fly, ride and even glide over 250,000 miles a year to the most amazing destinations - and I’m taking you with me.
This isn’t an ordinary travel vlog. You’ll go behind the scenes to see how I use my personal points stash to find exotic destinations, fascinating people and delicious food. But I’ll also show you what most people leave out: the journey. Whether it’s caviar on Etihad or vegan lasagna on Ryanair, exclusive airline lounges or jumping out of helicopters in Colombia, you’re along for the ride - no matter how crazy it gets! And we’ll do good along the way, with PeaceJam and Nobel Peace Prize winners.
Being The Points Guy is fun, but I also love helping you maximize your own travels. Because whether you’re at a million miles or your first, getting there is more than half the fun!
The captain on this plane was Brian Heron.. he commanded the 787 with pride. He is gone, but certainly not forgotten and I am sure shining his love down from the friendly skies. Miss you Boo
‘It gets the adrenaline going’ As she literally acts like it’s just another day at the office and doesn’t realize you have 90 seconds or less to evacuate an aircraft.
I flew ElAl 10 years ago. The food was absolutely delicious but many passengers complained rudely that the food was not good enough. I feel sorry for the ElAl staff.
Pretty unreal that you casually talk about doing the most expensive products from all these airlines. BTW, 4:34 what are you gonna lay down on the bed? A blanket? You mean _lie_ down.
2023 update: Scooters now require helmets (free with most units), or you can face a fine. Tourists are perhaps more likely to be left alone, but know the risks!
I’m with you about towels. However, in Italy wash cloths are paper thin and don’t exfoliate anything but if you ask they do have thicker ones that Americans are used to. I learned about that in a better hotel when we initially had thicker wash cloths but after the first room service was done we had the thin wash cloths.
