Does each news report on the latest air passenger’s nightmare strengthen your resolve to never step on a plane again? No wonder: Air travel grows more unpleasant than ever, with airlines making the experience less comfortable and convenient, while constantly adding new fees and hidden charges. What’s a frustrated flyer to do?

Nicholas Kralev, a globe-trotting author and entrepreneur who has visited almost 100 countries and flown more than 2 million miles, decided that knowledge is the most effective key to affordable and comfortable travel. He learned to master the system and how to beat the airlines at their own game—using their own rules. His resulting book, Decoding Air Travel: A Guide to Saving on Airfare and Flying in Luxury, became an Amazon bestseller.

Spend a day with Kralev and gain the practical skills and savvy to improve your travel life and save money. He can help you become a more empowered and sophisticated traveler who can navigate an increasingly baffling system.
