Frequent Traveler University is coming to Manhattan this weekend. There’s still time for you to attend.
I always enjoy FTU events and look forward to this one for two reasons. First, it will be in the heart of New York City instead of at an airport hotel. Second, I will be conducting two joint presentations with Tiffany from One Mile a Time. We’ll be holding a two part workshop on airline miles, with the first half on the latest and greatest in miles and points and a live booking session in the second half.
You can save $20 off the $249 conference fee by using the code LASTMINUTE at check-out. Register here.
