Have you ever considered Mexico City as a strategic hub for award travel? If not, you’re missing out on some incredible opportunities. If you want to tap into some serous award travel potential, this is the episode for you. I’m joined by Kelsi Sullivan, the older sister of the Point Sister Duo and an expert on booking award flights through Mexico City.
