In episode 121 of World Travel Made Easy With Itinerary Boss, Ross sits down with Betsey Wilson, founder of Become Travel Rich, to decode how everyday travelers can use Alaska Airlines Atmos points for real value. If you fly from American hubs or you are new to Points & Miles, this is a clear blueprint to upgrade faster, spend less, and book trips that fit actual family calendars.
Join us as Betsey breaks down practical redemptions like 4,500-point economy seats and 35,000-point lie-flats, how American elite benefits map on Alaska metal, why partner bookings matter, and when to pay cash versus use points. You will learn companion award differences, smart same-day change tactics, and why Condor is a standout partner for Europe and beyond. We also hit status-earning via non-airline partners and how to think about premium cards without fear of annual fees. If you want points to translate into better seats and better trips, this one’s for you.
