    In a Miles To Go first, Ed is throwing the challenge flag and asking Jeremiah for an instant replay review on comments Richard made in a previous episode. Who's right? Tune in to find out. Richard and Ed are also diving into the swampy world of airline policies for customers of size. Airlines don't make it easy to deal with this ahead of time, and airline employees don't invest the time to avoid these issues at airports and onboard planes. We've also included links to the customer of size policies for a number of airlines:
    • Delta
    • Southwest
    • Alaska
    • American
    • United
    We're also answering a listener question about booking family rooms in Europe.

    Richard got left behind by his hometown airline, but we're not leaving you behind on the latest travel news! Senators on Capitol Hill were grilling airline CEOs about fees that customers pay after purchasing an airline ticket. In the midst of questioning and testimony, Senator Josh Hawley proclaimed that flying on Spirit and Frontier was "horrible". Is it really horrible flying on Spirit and Frontier? Richard and Ed are sharing the soapbox on the topic this week. Watch the airline CEO testimony. We're also recapping Ed's time in Lisbon, including a lovely Mr. and Mrs. Smith property that you can redeem Hyatt points at. Interesting twist, you can also redeem Hilton points (as an SLH property)!
