| 0:11.3 | Good morning. |
| 0:12.6 | Welcome to Frequent Myler on the Air. |
| 0:15.2 | This is Greg, and I'm here with Nick. |
| 0:17.7 | We're the primary writers of Frequent Myler. And today, we're both in California, |
| 0:25.9 | sunny California, in the Bay Area, getting ready to do a FM to go, which is our way of |
| 0:33.5 | visiting readers around the country every now and then. |
| 0:43.8 | And so we're excited to meet a bunch of people in the Bay Area very soon. But this morning, we're going to talk about several things, including Emirates sweet spots and Google Phi headaches. |

| 1:43.1 | Has more availability than you might |
| 1:44.8 | expect anyway. You could save a lot of miles that way. So the new offer, 65,000 points after meeting |
