This week I'm joined by Taylor Beckett, founder of Luxury Corporate Travel, to first discuss the latest trending news in the travel industry, including the ongoing government shutdown and its impact on travel, a new safest destinations list, and more.

Later, Beckett provides his tips for how to best navigate the points and miles game. From where to start and how airlines vary, Beckett shares details on how travel advisors can best maximize points and miles.

The discussion on points and miles begins after the 13-minute mark.
