OC Travel Hacker Meetup – Tustin District In-N-Out Burger – Saturday, February 27 12-2pm

Quick shout out: Thank you to everyone who joined me yesterday at the Mountain View travel hacker meetup at In-N-Out Burger.  It was great to see all of you, I will be back soon :)

Good morning everyone, I hope your weekend is going well.  This has been a very busy week for travel hacker meetups.  I had a meetup last Monday, a meetup last Tuesday, a meetup yesterday (Saturday) and I will have another meetup this coming Saturday in Orange County.  I really enjoy meeting other miles and points junkies, it never gets old.  I know it’s been awhile since my last OC meetup, so I am taking my talents back down to Orange County.

P.S. I will be in Orange County next weekend, so I will organize an OC Meetup for next Saturday afternoon (2/27).  Stay tuned for details…

PSA: Check Existing Southwest Airlines Flights for Price Drops, then Rebook

Good morning everyone, greetings from rainy/windy Super Bowl City (San Francisco).  I just got an email from Southwest Airlines regarding their current flight sales.  In most cases, Southwest Airlines flight sales would not be newsworthy, but if you are an experienced/savvy Southwest Airlines flier, you know that Southwest Airlines lets you make free changes and cancellations to existing reservations.  I keep a spreadsheet on my computer (saved to OneDrive and available on my iPhone) that shows all my upcoming flights.  I book a lot of flights and sometimes I forget when I book flights (and I accidentally booked 2 trips for the same weekend #facepalm).

3 Bay Area Meetup Events between February 15-20 (Super Duper Burger, WeWork & In-N-Out)

Good morning everyone.  Yesterday, I flew from Dublin to San Francisco (DUB-SFO) on Aer Lingus in economy (gasp!) and I am getting back to my usual postings.  I am excited to announce a few new Bay Area meetup events for the near future.

For President’s Day Weekend (and Valentine’s Day), I will be taking the California Zephyr‎ Amtrak from Denver to Emeryville (Oakland/SF) with a few travel hacker friends from Denver/Boulder (creators of the Front Range Travel Hackers Meetup Group).  They wanted to do a little meetup on President’s Day (February 15), so if anyone is in SF and wants to talk miles and points, come join us.  We are going to Super Duper Burgers on Market Street (located between Montgomery and Powell Street BART stations).
