We've seen our fair share of lawsuits in the travel world over the past couple of decades, largely airlines or hotels using the legal system to protect their interests. However, I was definitely surprised to see The Points Guy suing American Airlines over a dispute over information displayed in the TPG app. We've got two special guests this week! First, Brian Kelly, the founder of The Points Guy, joins us to offer up his perspective on why they filed a suit against American Airlines. After that, we're joined by Gary Leff of View From The Wing. Gary offers his perspective on both sides of the disagreement and offers his opinion on what we could expect to see in the future. Don't worry. We'll have a full regular episode ready to drop on Wednesday like each and every week. But, we wanted to take this opportunity to bring you an inside look at this developing dispute.
