Welcome to Now Boarding: The Official Boarding Area Podcast!

Each week one of Boarding Area‘s talented crew of bloggers will jump in the cockpit with “Captain” Ed Pizza, host of Miles to Go and blogger at Pizza in Motion. On each NowBoarding flight, you’ll get a chance to learn more about the folks behind your favorite travel blogs. How they got into blogging about flights, hotels, credit cards and other deals; their favorite destinations and preferred credit cards and loyalty programs.

On this week’s episode, Ed interviews the newest addition to BoardingArea, Mike LaRosa from Coworkaholic. Fun fact: Mike’s the producer of both this podcast and Miles to Go. It might sound like our audio quality isn’t the best and that’s because Ed and Mike recorded from Classified, United’s “secret” restaurant at Newark (EWR). It’s tough to schedule time to chat when these two are always on the road! Tune in to hear how Mike caught the points and miles blogging bug, learn a bit more about what this “coworking” thing is as well as Mike’s answers to our weekly lighting round of questions.

This week we’re digging into the archives and re-posting our awesome interview with Angelina Aucello of Angelina Travels. She joins Ed to chat about how she maximizes shopping portals, like how she once got a RT flight to Asia from just buying one pair of shoes! Raised in a family that loved to travel, but only when getting the greatest value, she started blogging about points and miles in 2011. Since that time she’s covered a wide array of different types of travel: from documenting first class flights and five star hotels as a single woman, to flying 90+ flights while pregnant and now exploring the world with her husband and two children.
