'The Points Guy' Brian Kelly dishes on travel tips
Now, the guru of go is taking his act from digital to print, compiling 15 years’ worth of experience into his first book,“Frankly, travel is still really confusing,” the 41-year-old told The Post about why he finally decided to write the tome for tourists. “I see so many people making mistakes.”“Frankly, travel is still really confusing,” the 41-year-old frequent-flier told The Post about the motivation behind his new tome for tourists. “I see so many people making mistakes.
To coincide with the book’s launch, Kelly shared some of his most valuable vacation hacks with The Post — read on and get packing.“How To Win At Travel,” which hits shelves Feb. 4, is tipped to be a runaway bestseller — and it’ll slip snugly into your carry-on. For example: “Say it’s freezing cold and you want to get away for a warm weekend as cheaply as possible, you can put in a certain time frame… and it’ll reverse engineer pull in all the cheapest flights so you can just look on a map and then select the cheapest flights.”In addition to Google Flights, the intrepid expert says there’s a second site that’s essential to look at before you fly: insuremytrip.
“The biggest mistake people make with travel insurance is buying it through the airline or hotel,” he said. “Do not do that in general. That’s not even travel insurance. It’s called travel protection, and you’re paying a huge premium for really bad coverage.”“It has all the insurers… it’s very simple to compare and contrast policies,” he explained. The most expensive policies don’t always give you the best coverage, so put in your details for your trip.
“Sometimes we leave our luggage with the hotel that could go missing,” he stated. “So knowing where your belongings are at all times is critical.”While Kelly did say it’s important to be flexible with dates, he believes that some travel seasons are superior to others.
