Pauline Frommer
Pauline specializes in getting more bang for your buck while out and about. Her philosophy is “spend less, see more,” and man, does she mean it. She’s already written excellent guides on traveling New York on a Budget and Picnicking across Paris, but today, she’ll be joining us to demonstrate how she manages to stumble across these unique travel destinations over and over again. With any luck, we’ll have you out of your travel rut and exploring new ground in no time! You can learn more about Pauline at www.frommers.com/pauline.
Ed Perkins
Some of you may remember Ed from a previous show, where he offered some great travel tips for all of us to use. Others may recall his days as editor of the Consumer Reports Travel Letter or his regular column at smartertravel.com. But whether you’ve run into Ed a time or two in the past or not, one things’ for certain: the man knows his stuff when it comes to discounted travel and airline miles. Today he joins us to share some of this knowledge, specifically with regard to business class travelers!

Special thanks to all the listeners who brought this to our attention! We’d like to welcome you to check out last weeks show, where we spoke with representatives from the company and passed on a little review of our own.
