Award-Travel Tips for Big Families with Dr. Susan Zink
Episode Description
Snapping up great award flights or hotel stays on points when you’re a solo traveler with tons of flexibility and an international airport nearby is one thing. This is the dream scenario. But what if you’re a family of five living nowhere near a travel hub? There are very real constraints that most people have to take into consideration, but does that mean points travel is out of reach?
You might need to get a little more creative, but points travel is possible for everyone, even a family of five or more. To discuss the ways families can maximize their points, I’m joined by Dr. Susan Zink. Susan is a psychiatrist with three children who has managed to get some amazing deals that meet her family’s travel needs, and she’s here to share her tips for family travel using points.
Tune in this week to discover some of the challenges related to reward travel for larger families and learn how to overcome these challenges. Dr. Susan Zink is sharing her strategy for earning enough points to travel with her husband and three children, and she’s sharing her top tips for landing the kind of accommodation deals that suit your family’s needs.
