Forget what you’ve heard about flight prices: There’s still time to get a great summer flight deal … if you know where to look.
That’s what Gunnar and Kyle discussed this week, along with a deep dive on where things stand with airfare. Are we going to get a break from high fares soon? Plus, the guys hate Delta’s new “Basic Business” fares; they love Flighty’s latest update, and they get the latest story in the saga of “bougie boyfriend.”

Can I have more info about the vpn to use for getting more points?
Hi Mary, search Rakuten for “Express VPN” or “Nord VPN.” Both regularly offer close to 100% back – 100x points when you have your Rakuten account set up that way – for these purchases. At 100% cash back (100x points), you’re essentially buying points for 1 cent apiece if you don’t plan to use the service. Just don’t forget to cancel before the promo rate expires!
