There's one which I use most regularly called Seats.Aero. I think people get confused my accents. A-E-R-O, Seats. Arrow. The other similar ones, there's one called Point. Oh, it's about to start taking notes. Yeah, I might have to write that down. We actually are recording this. |

| 0:32.4 | travelers who listen to this pod. We got someone from the points guy coming on to tell us all about credit card |
| 0:38.2 | points because me and chaps aren't really experts in the slightest. Yeah, just like best practices |
