  • So Goooood

    The episode on 2026 Airfare Trends was insightful and informative. Good to know that traditional ‘off season’ prices are obsolete and that most airlines still give a 24 hour window to complete purchase. Learned about Dollar Flight club, and Norse air, and AI’s potential for helping find lower cost fares.

    I love Pauline Frommer’s thoughtfulness, experience and openness in the Frommer podcasts!
