Back in the NonRev Lounge: Summer Schedules, Maui Plans, Italy Routing, and a Tucson Museum Trip
Tyler and Monique return after losing a previously recorded episode due to an editing issue and share life updates, including a busy home remodel, an upcoming move, and Tyler’s likely commuting from Salt Lake City while waiting on a transfer. They discuss airline summer schedule changes out of Phoenix (seasonal routes cut, Salt Lake reduced to express flights, Anchorage returning) and frustration with capacity decisions. Monique outlines a packed summer with Flagstaff, Maui, Italy, and St. George trips; they talk about rising Hawaii costs, plans for Maui (Road to Hana, waterfalls, black/red sand beaches, Seven Sacred Pools, snorkeling spots like Napili and Honuolua Bay), and nonrev strategies using StaffTraveler’s new Route Explorer. Tyler recounts a Tucson trip to the Pima Air & Space Museum and notes TSA touchless/PreCheck experiences, plus a potential policy shift reducing international positive bag match requirements.
