Geobreeze Travel Saving $40K on a Luxury Trip to the UAE with Abdul and Sumaya | Ep 44
(Disclaimer: Click 'more' to see ad disclosure)
Abdul and Sumaya Bezrati from @game_of_points run the Game of Points blog, which is all about travel, collecting points, and maximizing redemptions. They are a family of four and have been to more than 30 countries. They love the opulence and luxury, but not the high price tags, so they travel hack their way through five-star resorts and premium sky cabins.
In today's episode, we discuss an incredible 10-year anniversary trip that Abdul and Sumaya took around the world in business class with stops in Singapore, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi - a trip that would have cost more than $40K if paid for in cash, which a lot of people on their flights did! We also discuss some cultural considerations about what it's like to be a Muslim person in the points and miles world or just in the world in general, and... it's pretty eye-opening. The hobby of award travel should be available for anyone who wants to take part, and I know it can seem daunting to get started for a variety of reasons. If you'd like some personalized coaching to get started with your points journey or to level up your game, check out the link in the show notes to sign up for a coaching spot.
