  • Travel Expert Reveals Top Credit Card Strategies for Remote Destinations
    Lorena, a seasoned traveler, prefers general travel rewards cards like Capital One Venture X for flexibility in booking hotels, especially in remote areas. She highlights the value of Hyatt points, citing a 5-star Rio de Janeiro stay for just 9,000 points. "General cards offer travel credits usable at any hotel," ideal for destinations like the Galapagos Islands.
  • Travel Insurance: When It's Essential and When It's Not
    Lorena advises travelers to check if their credit card offers free trip delay and baggage loss insurance. For health insurance, she suggests verifying if your regular insurance covers out-of-state emergencies or if the destination offers free healthcare. Lo says, "Tailor your travel insurance to your needs to avoid unnecessary expenses."
  • AirTags: A Traveler's Essential for Tracking Lost Luggage
    Lorena finds AirTags invaluable for locating lost luggage. She recalls, "I saw with my Find My iPhone app that my luggage ended up in England," despite airline claims it was in the US. This technology provides real-time updates, aiding in quicker recovery and better travel planning, though updates depend on nearby Apple devices.
