✈️ How Would a Government-Owned Spirit Airlines Work? (14:48)

This episode is all about the hottest topic in travel news: the U.S. government’s interest in buying Spirit Airlines outright. Not a subsidization, not a bailout, a full-on ownership. How did we get here, what would this mean for the airline industry as a whole, and has this happened before? We unpack it all for you!

🚌 Transportation Costs of The World Cup (40:43)

If you’re planning to attend a World Cup match at MetLife Stadium, in addition to flights and lodging, you’ll need to factor in public transportation to your overall budget!

✈️ How Do You Count Flights? (12:58)

Every trip is a flight but not every flight is a trip…or is it? We debate how you count the total number of flights you’ve been on and the difference between flights vs trips. According to Chantel, this is not a matter of opinion but a matter of facts. Do you agree?

🛎️ The Death (and Rebirth) of the Hotel Lobby (21:50)

What was once considered a path on the way to or from your room has since become a destination in and of itself. We dive into the history of the hotel lobby, how the boom of hotel chain expansion turned lobbies blah, and what they did to successfully reinstate themselves as a designated “third place” in today’s society.

🛏️ We See Your SkyCouch and Raise You a SkyNest (43:49)

🐠 Sydney’s New Fish Market (34:27)

Sydney, Australia is opened the largest fish market in the southern hemisphere and it’s truly not getting close to enough of the attention that it deserves.

🌧️ Weather Apps Might Get Sued (41:57)

There’s drama with the weather apps and local attractions as they claim misleading icons and summaries for daily weather are encouraging people to reschedule their plans or cancel altogether, even if the weather is mostly nice! We get to the bottom of the latest tea on weather, or should we say “forecast”?

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Daylight Savings weekend went by a little too fast, because we lost an hour! Springing forward always gives us the same feeling as jet lag, at least for a little while.

That’s right, there’s a happy couple out there whose lives are forever changed after visiting that Chili’s.

⭐ Would You Rather Be a TV or Movie Star? (10:52)

If we were famous actors, would we rather become a star from a TV show or a movie? While this seems like a pretty straightforward question, there was actually a lot to consider with this.

🎥 Is Los Angeles Actually a Good Tourist City? (16:11)

There’s a saying that “everyone loves LA until they visit,” but LA is the second-most visited city in the U.S... So are millions of people lying or is it being evaluated wrong? We’re debating if LA is actually a good city for tourists and why there may be some ill-informed prejudices against it.

Similar to what we discuss in our Set-Jetting episode, this show has had some serious and positive impacts to the tourism industry of its destination. 

✈️ Pimp My Air Force One (45:30)

🏆 Would You Stay, Or Would You Go? (31:51)

This week’s seat pocket discussion is on-theme as we debate, if we were athletes who had concluded competing at the Olympic games, would we stay and enjoy the festivities or head home?

🤼 Milan vs Cortina (34:52)

You’re already familiar with Milan vs Cortina in terms of their role in this year’s Olympics, but what about when the game flame isn’t around? We put the two cities head-to-head and look at them as destinations to travel, their vibes, their cost, and the best time to go.

🇦🇹 NDA = Non-Disclosure [Austria] (53:52)

Odds are you’ve heard of an NDA, maybe you’ve even signed one for your job. But have you ever signed one when entering a new country? That’s right, there’s a new NDA in town and it doesn’t stand for “non-disclosure agreement,” it’s “non-disclosure Austria.”

As if we need more motivation to travel, the Olympic parade really gets the travel bug moving…yes, from just the athletes walking into the Opening Ceromonies. Like we said, it doesn’t take us much. Ohhhh and, have you heard of Ski-Mo (aka Ski Mountaineering?!) it’s the newest olympic sport and it sounds electric! 

Favorite Winter Olympic Sport (11:32)

We love the olympics and we love to make our life difficult which is why we are debating what our favorite winter olympic sport is. There’s actually quite a few sneaky choices. 

How Italy Won the Bid to Host the 2026 Olympic (14:35)

By now we all know Italy is hosting the olympics, or at least we hope you Taggies sitting on the couch watching the games realize they’re taking place in Italy. The question is - how did Italy win the bid to host? It was a close battle between Sweden and Italy but there were a few key elements that tipped in Italy’s favor

Olympic Mascots Milo & Tina (44:37)

Italy’s New Outdoor Dining Rule (71:57)

💃 What’s Our Next South American Country? (21:50)

Brazil was the first time either of us visited South America, marking our 6th of 7 total continents, and we’re not stopping there! In true Bag Tag fashion, we’re already planning our next trip back to this part of the world. The real question is: where will we go?

🇧🇷 Unpacking Brazil (26:22)

From Rio to Iguazu to Sao Luis to the Dunes, we truly made the most of our time in Brazil! And today we’re unpacking it all including trip food and drinks, beaches, Carnival, our favorite things, and souvos. 

✈️ Runway Report: GIG (89:23)

Huge missed opportunity to use the bag tag code RIO! We hit a lot of airports on this trip but only one that really mattered. Consider this our official runway report for the Rio de Janeiro International Airport, aka Galeão International Airport, and find out how many clouds we find it worth of.

📰 What In the World Is Going On? (94:09)

A better question might be: what isn’t going on? An acquisition, new policies, a reopened road, something with Vegas and good, old fashioned internet beef. We take time to run through a handful of juicy travel stories that occurred while we were gone!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A couple of weeks ago we were telling y’all that people have claimed it is a scientific fact that bloody mary’s are better when cruising off on an adventure. Chantel is a supporter of bloody marys and Wyatt is not so we figured we’d be great tasters of this theory. Well the results are in and we’re ready to discuss

😵‍💫 Worst Travel Habits (06:48)

Hannah Montana truly said it best “Nobody’s perfect” and unfortunately when it comes to travel, we all have bad travel habits. Yes, even us expert travelers have a thing or two we’d like to change orrrrrr maybe we don’t care but those we travel with do! 

✈️ The Travel Effect (12:56)

When we talk about travel, we usually talk about escape. A break. A reset. A getaway. But here’s the thing we don’t talk about enough: Travel is not neutral. Every plane ticket, hotel stay, museum visit, coffee order, and Instagram post sets off a chain reaction — one that reaches local economies, national politics, and the daily lives of people who live there year-round. Today, we’re unpacking The Travel Effect — how tourism quietly reshapes the world, whether we notice it or not.

🏜️ Unpacking Texas (42:15)

We kicked off 2026 in style at a wedding in Texas but we have been so busy we haven’t had a chance yet to unpack so what better time to do so than now! We discussed Austin and San Antonio to see how they compare and what surprised us most before giving our runway report on the Austin Airport! 

🚠 Gondolas in Paris (58:07)

Paris is known for so much - food, history, style, architecture, art - but not so much for it’s transportation. Well, in an effort to continue providing fast and affordable options to locals and visitors to get around the city of love, Paris is turning to the skys with Gondolas giving people a new perspective on the city!

Iguazu Falls or Parque Nacional dos Lencois Maranhenses (05:55)

Our Brazil adventure is not silo’d to just Rio! We venture off to Iguazu Falls and Parque Nacional dos Lencois Maranhenses. The question is…which are we most excited for! That is our debate for this week’’s seat pocked

Iguazu Falls - Fun Facts (11:47)

If you’ve never heard of Iguazú Falls before, that’s okay. You’re not alone. It doesn’t always get the same instant name recognition as Niagara or Victoria Falls—but once you understand it, Iguazú tends to ruin all other waterfalls for you.

Parque Nacional dos Lencois Maranhenses - What to Know (23:50)

Imagine a sea of brilliant white sand dunes stretching as far as the eye can see — like a desert… but with something no desert has: freshwater lagoons that fill with rainwater between the dunes. 

History and Fun Facts about Brazil (34:07)

Brazil didn’t just happen. It collided into existence.

Long before Europeans showed up, Brazil was home to millions of Indigenous people, spread across hundreds of cultures and languages. Groups like the Tupi, Guaraní, and Yanomami lived off the land, navigated rivers like highways, and built societies deeply connected to nature. The Amazon wasn’t “discovered” — it was already known, mapped, and lived in.

What in the World is Beto Carrero World? (45:17)

Beto Carrero World—a 14-million-square-meter theme park that just surpassed multiple Disney parks in global rankings and is now teasing a roller coaster set to break six world records.

Yeah. Six.

There’s a lot of side hustles out there, but one of the most unique has to be purposely booking oversold flights and getting money to get bumped. While this isn’t a new technique, it’s certainly not one that most people are willing to try. 

🌃 Daytime vs Nighttime (07:47)

Rio is known for its beautiful beaches, rainforests, and attractions but they also have a nightlife that is simply unmatched. While we’re very much of the mindset that we have to do it all when we’re on a trip, we discuss if we’d prefer daytime or nighttime activities if we could only choose one.

🇧🇷 Getting Real About Rio (12:20)

As we pack for our upcoming trip to Rio de Janeiro, we’re giving you everything you need to know! From history and fun facts, to a breakdown of the beach culture, top things to do, and their national food and drinks, we really get into it all.

🚡 Trains, Planes, and Gondolas? (48:05)

There’s a new transportation method on the rise (literally) and it’s not what you might think… Gondolas are a quick, reliable, and affordable way for major cities to create a new public transportation route that avoids traffic. We discuss which unexpected city is in the midst of their first gondola, and whether or not these will become all the craze.

Earth, Wind, Fire, Water…yes, all very important elements to Avatar (the blue people and the anime show) but your sign may very well impact the way you prefer to travel! Isn’t all of that star sign and ish just a bunch of fantasy? No! It’s real and it’s fun especially when it comes to their impact on travel! 

✨ New Years Resolutions (08:50)

Cliche, classic, lame, exciting whatever you think about New Years Resolutions, on this adventure we embrace it! Because with all travel, you gotta go in with an open mind. Now you’re probably expecting us to say travel more or visit all 7 continents but we have jobs and things sadly cost money so we share a bit about our more lowkey resolutions but of course we had a travel twist

📍 2026 Top Travel Destinations (15:10)

Paris is out and Philadelphia is IN! You think that sounds crazy? Well we explain why it makes all the sense in the world. This year we have 5 destinations that will be all over the feeds and timelines. Some of these, you’ll nod your head and say “yup” and others, like Philly, will have you questioning everything you knew. 

🧳 2026 Travel Predictions (26:39)

We nailed the 2025 Travel Predictions (some may say we are experts) so we’re back with our 2026 travel predictions! Is this the year RVs make a comeback?

🌎 2026 Travel Headlines (33:20)

If you thought 2025 was packed full of travel stories and news, well yeah it was, but 2026 is already shaping up to be one epic sequel! From new amusement parks, to changes at the National Parks to a country reshaping your desire to travel, the year ahead (that we know of) will be one fun adventure

When it comes to finding the best place to stay, there’s a new technique that can give you the 5-star experience without the 5-star price tag!! It comes down to accepting a little less space.

🧀 The Rule for Queso 

Queso comes in all shapes and sizes or perhaps not. There’s a hot debate going on whether queso should be simply cheese with no additives while others claim the cheese is a good foundation but the flavor lives with the additions. 

🤖 Everything You Need to Know about Austin

Austin truly is different than anywhere else in Texas, it has a full on bat display, 100 foot light posts, a nude beach and a ton of tech! Keep Austin Weird is a fitting phrase, one the city adopted thanks to local businesses. A place that start as just a pile of dust, took over as capitol and has become the spot for bachelorettes! We unpack everything you need to know about Austin! 

🎨 Las Vegas Art Museum

Las Vegas has been struggling over the last year and continues to look for ways to reinvent itself! What was once just a desert full of casinos, has added in a F1 race, major US sports teams, immersive experience district, and now a formal fine art museum. Crazy to think a city full of unique and special experiences with all of their shows and Nevada, home to burning man, never had an art museum until now!

🚽Windows in Airplane Bathrooms (01:45)

Is it weird to have windows in an airplane bathroom? No, but think about it. If you’re 30,000 feet in the air, who even will be able to peak in and see what you’re doing? It may actually be nice to get some natural light in there. Although if you need to use the bathroom at the gate…

Not all drinks are equal when at cruising altitude. No, this isn’t a bold claim by yours truly, it is a scientific fact!!! Thanks to the low moisture, low pressure, and the loud noise of flying….yes, noise plays a factor in taste, tomato juice and bloody mary’s are the best tasting drinks. Personal opinion, some of us respectfully disagree

📖 Travel to an Author’s Home or a Book Setting? (13:27)

Airplanes for the ground? Aren’t those just cars? Nooooo, that’s crazy! Landlines are buses.

No, we’re not crazy, just listen to the episode! 

👻 Haunted Hotel - an amenity or a deterrent? (09:39)

🌐 What in the World is Going on With the EU? (39:54)

If you’re planning a trip to Europe, more specifically the European Union, your entry and exit might look a little different now. That’s right, Schengen has a new system for non-citizens coming into the area which is supposed to speed up the process but it might slow you down when it first rolls out.

It’s no surprise that movies with a travel thing just hit different when you’re at cruising altitude on the way to your next destination. On our last flight, Wyatt discovered a new movie that he thinks fits the criteria perfectly: The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Don’t let the title fool you, it is indeed a perfect airplane movie.

💸 How Much Is Convenience Worth to You? (07:55)

Have you ever considered volunteering to push your flight in exchange for monetary compensation? Would you do it for just $25? Inspired by a real offer Wyatt received from Alaska Airlines, we discuss what our minimum dollar amount would be to give up our seat on a flight to take one that’s less…convenient.

🍁 The Best Fall Flavor (08:37)

A new season means new flavors and nothing says, “fall is here” like that first taste of pumpkin… Or apple! Or maple! Or pecan! The debate for best fall flavor is officially on. Will you agree or disagree with our picks?

🍂 Fall Factual vs Fallacy, Where in the Fall is This?, and Everything Fall Travel (13:27)

🇯🇵 Unpacking Japan - Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka (17:40)

We take you on a step by step journey through all the fun activities we took on in the big 3 giving some insight into some of our favorite spots, things we learned, favorite food spots, and somethings we probably would have done differently. We also gush over the Shinkansen bullet train! 

 🛫 Runway Report - Haneda Airport (83:41)

Tokyo’s international airport gets added to the list. Does the layout, efficiency, stores, shops, and vibes give it a chance to land high on the list? Spoiler- it’s not at the bottom

Sure, booking the exit row sounds like the cheat code for infinite legroom. But after six hours of flying, you’re not stretching out like royalty—you’re the unofficial leaning post for every aisle-stretcher and bathroom wanderer. Congrats, you’ve basically booked a lobby.

✈️ What to Do if Your Plane is Diverted (06:44)

👾 The Best Japanese Mascot (08:36)

This one was tough. There are so many iconic mascots that have come out of Japan - Hello Kitty, Mario, Pikachu, Gudetama but only one can be the ruler of them all. We debate which mascot is the most iconic and we don’t agree on which it should be! 

🇯🇵 The History, Fun Facts, and Top Things to do in Tokyo (14:08)

We’re headed of to Tokyo, the top destination on both of our bucket lists for some time.

You’re never too old to get into the Back to School Spirit! While Labor Day Weekend no longer marks the end of summer break for us, we still used this time to regroup and get ready for a new season. Instead of going back to school, we’re looking forward to heading into fall and the start of football season (or maybe it’s just Wyatt who’s excited for football).

🏠 What’s the best season to stay home and not travel? (09:27)

While there’s really never a bad time to travel, if we had to pick one season to just stay home…what would it be? We discuss the best time of year to be in the house, and finally uncover what Chantel’s personal seasonal calendar is. Brace yourselves.

Airlines keep trying to ditch seatback screens like they’re yesterday’s inflight peanuts—replacing them with the “privilege” of using our own devices. No thanks! We’re launching an official campaign to save the seatback screen, because how else are we supposed to binge trashy shows and doomscroll at 30,000 feet?

🗿 Are You Drawn to UNESCO Sites? (03:58)

Sure, the 7 Wonders hog the spotlight on everyone’s travel bucket list, but what about UNESCO sites? Do they spark that same “must-travel” itch? You may never check them all off, but do they make you want to book that next adventure? Let’s find out.

🗺️ What Even Is UNESCO in Travel? (08:38)

🌎 Why the US Ghosted UNESCO (Again) (33:43)

Why do people insist on playing “airport chicken” at arrivals, clogging up lanes like it’s rush hour on the runway? Newsflash: your passenger doesn’t land for 30 minutes. That’s what cellphone lots are for! They’re close, comfy, and perfect for a Netflix binge or a little stretch before the big reunion.

🎲 Best Cabin Activity – Campfire Stories or Board Games (04:00)

Sure, both hit different when you’re tucked away in the woods—but only one can claim cabin supremacy. Chantel swears nothing tops the spooky magic of a crackling campfire, while Wyatt rallies hard for the competitive chaos of board games. Which one belongs in the cabin hall of fame? We debate it out.

🌲 Cabin Craze (12:36)

Post-pandemic travel went wild for cabins, and honestly, who can blame anyone? From cozy escapes in the mountains to lakeside hideouts, the cabin takeover is real. We dive into the top 5 cabin destinations in the U.S.—plus the best season to hit each one.

Internet influencers (a.k.a. people with ring lights and opinions) are swearing up and down that the best seating arrangement for couples is two aisle seats across from each other. Allegedly, you get more elbow room and an easy escape to the bathroom. In reality? It’s relationship sabotage disguised as travel advice. You’ll be forced into a weird across-the-aisle shouting match like you’re in competing Broadway productions. Want to share snacks? Prepare for awkward midair handoffs as flight attendants glare at you. Need to hold hands? You can’t—unless you both have Inspector Gadget arms. For couples who actually want to sit together and gasp talk without yelling over strangers, stick with your classic side-by-side window and middle—or if you’re lucky enough to find them, those cozy two-seaters at the back of some planes. Romance is not yelling “What?!” over the beverage cart.

🏝 Can You Guess How Many Islands There Are? (05:29)

It’s the travel world’s version of “How many M&Ms are in the jar?”—except the jar is Earth, and the M&Ms are islands. At first, you’ll guess a modest few hundred. Then you’ll remember—oh right—there are islands in lakes, islands in rivers, islands that only pop up when the tide is low and someone’s Instagramming a picnic on them. Turns out there are hundreds of thousands. Yep, even more than the number of unread emails in your inbox. The actual total might blow your mind, and no, you don’t get a prize if you’re close. Unless you count bragging rights at trivia night, which we fully support.

🚤 The San Juan Islands – Friday Harbor Edition (09:23)

Nestled off the coast of northern Washington, the San Juan Islands are a whole other kind of Pacific Northwest magic—think postcard-perfect harbors, orca-spotting boat rides, and that salty sea air that makes you want to write bad poetry. Friday Harbor is the star of the show, with quaint shops, fresh seafood, and a laid-back vibe that could convince even the busiest city-dweller to finally slow down. Fun fact: the islands were once at the center of the Pig War—yes, an actual historical dispute over a pig. Today, they’re better known for kayaking, whale watching, and sunset views so good you’ll briefly consider quitting your job to open an artisanal jam stand.

🚄 What’s the Deal with California’s High-Speed Rail? (31:10)

California’s high-speed rail project has been in the works since roughly the dawn of time (okay, since 2008, but it feels like forever). The idea: a sleek, bullet-train-style route whisking passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco in under three hours—no middle seat required. The reality: budget overruns, construction delays, and more political drama than a reality TV reunion. Recently, the Trump administration pulled funding, throwing yet another wrench into the project’s already sluggish progress. Will it ever get built? Maybe. Will you be retired and collecting seashells by the time you ride it? Also maybe. For now, the dream lives on—at least in renderings and very ambitious timelines.

Last week, Wyatt was hit with a surprise visit from his friends from New York to help him celebrate his big 3-0 birthday which unfortunately caused a slight delay in last week’s episode but we are back and unpacking the joy of being a tour guide to friends 

🇺🇸 What are the 4 US Cities (05:53)

Of course, we had to throw our opinions into the debate that has taken over the internet. What are the 4 U.S. Cities? No extra context, no additional guidelines. Just straight up what are the four US cities. Well it turns out, Wyatt and Chantel couldn’t even agree so there’s a real reason for the debate! Is it New York, LA, Chicago, San Fran, DC, Miami, Houston, Atlanta, or Boston?? Someone even suggested Vegas?? 

🏘️Carmel-by-the-Sea & Carmel Valley (16:11)

We’re heading back to the Monterey Peninsula—but this time, we’re trading sea lions and sourdough for storybook cottages and wine-soaked sunshine as we unpack all things Carmel-by-the-Sea and its chill inland cousin, Carmel Valley. If you’ve ever wanted to visit a town where your mail goes to the post office, your dog can dine with you, and wearing stilettos technically requires a permit (yes, really), Carmel’s got you covered. Chantel practically grew up here—thanks to years of pliés and pirouettes at my childhood dance studio—so this episode’s basically a hometown roast with love. We’re spilling the tea on everything from high-heeled laws and Clint Eastwood’s mayoral days to where to sip the best chardonnay after hiking among waterfalls. 

🌎 What is going on with AI Pricing with Flights? (47:38)

What is going on with AI and airfare? We’re diving into how Delta is shaking up the skies by ditching traditional pricing and letting AI take the wheel—at least for 20% of its flights by year’s end. They're calling it a “full reengineering” of fares, but critics say it’s more like your wallet getting psychoanalyzed by a robot. Is this the future of flying or just a fancy new way to squeeze us dry? We break down the tech, the backlash, and whether your next plane ticket might come with a side of algorithmic mind games.

Did you know Wyoming only has two escalators in the entire state? Yes. Two. And if you count one up and one down separately, then congrats—you’ve officially doubled your tour. We’re talking 10 minutes, both escalators, full circuit. But that’s just the tip of the quirky iceberg. From illegal rabbit photography (not a joke) to the myth of no-Wednesday-showers in Cheyenne, we’re dishing out our favorite Wyoming oddities—plus fun facts like dinosaur discoveries, outlaw hats in theaters, and how the state basically invented dude ranches. Yeehaw, knowledge!

🐎 What Would You Name Your Rodeo Horse? (10:03)

We take a very serious detour into a very important debate: what would we name our rodeo horse if we were tearing it up at the Cheyenne Frontier Days? Think: sass, flair, maybe a nod to Beyoncé. (Spoiler: “Escalator Drama” was absolutely on the list.) Whether you’re a “Dusty Pickles” or a “Thunder Queen” kind of rider, we’re giving this question the gravitas it deserves.

🎤 Interview with Piper & Hailey from the Wyoming Office of Tourism (13:42)

Then, we’re joined by the Cowboy State PR—Piper Singer and Hailey Mach from the Wyoming Office of Tourism. These two know how to wrangle more than just media…they’re shaping the way the world sees the wild, wonderful west. 

We dive into why tourism in Wyoming is booming this year (spoiler: cowboy culture is trending and Beyoncé might be to blame), how small-town charm is becoming a big draw, and how the state is finding clever ways to welcome more visitors while fiercely protecting its natural beauty. 

From soaking in mineral hot springs to spotting baby wildlife on a spring hike, they paint a picture of a state that’s as adventurous as it is authentic. They also take us behind the scenes of their Destination Development Program, a thoughtful initiative that helps small towns grow their tourism game without losing their soul.

🎿 Skijoring 101 (AKA Skiing But With Horses Because Why Not) (37:14)

Ever looked at water skiing and thought, “This is fun, but what if I added a horse and some snow?” Welcome to the world of skijoring. We do a deep dive into this uniquely Wyoming winter sport where skiers are pulled at full speed behind galloping horses—sometimes through downtown streets. From its European roots to its fleeting Olympic cameo in 1928, we break down the weird, wild, and wonderfully extra world of skijoring. Bonus: we weigh in on whether it deserves a comeback at the Winter Games. (Spoiler: we’re team yes.)

We’re all quite familiar when it comes to storm chasers, they’ve made movies about these sorta people - does Twister & Twisters ring a bell? Okay, but what about Lava Chasers - the people who venture off to catch lava spewing and flowing from volcanos? Well between the two types of adventurer, which would you choose?

We’re revisiting one of our very first podcast stories: the spicy saga of Oakland Airport’s identity crisis. Once upon a time, they boldly (and confusingly) tried to rename themselves the San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport — because nothing says clarity like blending two rival cities into one airport name. Fast forward a year, sprinkle in some lawsuits, add a dash of passenger confusion, and guess what? Oakland’s back at it again, still trying to sort out their airport identity. Spoiler alert: the drama is far from over.

🎙️ Aviation Alphabet (10:04)

Then, we test our phonetic skills with the Aviation Alphabet — you know, that official pilot lingo where “N” is definitely not for “Nancy.” Chantel puts Wyatt to the test (and you too!) to see who can actually get through this alphabet without making up words like “Q…as in…Quokka?”

🌍 Economics & Controversies behind the 7 Wonders (21:16)

And speaking of confusion — oh, you thought there was just one list of the Seven Wonders of the World? Think again. We’re peeling back the layers of controversy, competition, and cash behind the Seven Wonders — from the Ancient list to the Natural list to the Modern list that, frankly, caused a global voting frenzy. Who really decides what counts as a wonder, and why does it sound like a reality show gone rogue?

🏺 The Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) (52:00)

Finally, we fly over to Cairo where the long-awaited, much-hyped Grand Egyptian Museum (aka GEM) is still not open, but promises to shake up tourism like never before — if it ever stops being delayed. Think: King Tut, the Pyramids, and a history lesson on a blockbuster scale.

One of the best things about travel is that it exposes you to countless new experiences, broadening your life beyond the day-to-day and opening you up for connections you wouldn’t have found otherwise. One sunrise excursion on the Serengeti showed us something truly adventurous – leaving us yearning to learn more and adding to our travel bucket list.

💺 Seat Pocket - What design would you pick for your hot air balloon? (05:52)

It’s not all about looks, but maybe it is in this week’s Seat Pocket segment. As our experience with ballooning leaves something to be desired, one area we feel confident discussing: the designs we would choose for our own (hypothetical) hot air balloons. We’ve debated the best-wrapped airplanes, so it only feels right that we expand our design debates to a different bird of the sky – balloons.

🎈 Aviation Legend & Ballooning Pioneer - Troy Bradley (10:28)

Then we welcome Troy Bradley, a highly decorated balloon pilot holding over 60 records, Chief Pilot of the Rainbow Ryders, the true definition of an adventurer. Troy takes us to new heights as he walks through his most memorable and impressive balloon flights, breaks down the various types of balloons, what goes into long-haul flights, plus what it was like to come from a family of balloon pilots, and carry on the tradition. It’s more than just a hobby or career, it’s a lifestyle of passion, perseverance, and determination.

🪁 Living a Life of Adventure (46:00)

Some of us spend our days stuck in the confines of a desk, dreaming of our next escape. Meanwhile, there are some of us who truly live a life of adventure, breaking the mold and following our dreams wholeheartedly. Whatever it may be, we hope you have the courage to find your happiness and hold on to it.

In our conversations, we dive into what inspires them, what challenges them, and how they bring destinations to life — one passport stamp, plate of street food, or off-the-beaten-path secret at a time. 

💺 Seat Pocket - Places We’re Starving to Visit (03:11)

This week, we’re skipping the usual tourist traps and going straight for the snacks. Chantel & Wyatt dive into the destinations topping their bucket list not for the landmarks, beaches, or photo ops… but for one reason only: the food. We’re talking travel purely motivated by what’s on the menu — because sometimes, it’s not about climbing the Eiffel Tower, it’s about climbing into a perfectly gooey wheel of baked Camembert.

🍽️ Devour Tours - Lauren Aloise (07:29)

Then, we sit down with Lauren Aloise, founder of the incredible Devour Tours, who turned her love of authentic eats into a travel empire. She spills the sangria on how Devour began, what makes a truly delicious tour, and how food is more than a meal — it’s a window into culture, history, and community.

🍛 A Bite About Food Tourism (36:59)

The World Food Travel Association calls it “traveling for a taste of place to get a sense of place,” and honestly? We couldn’t agree more. From Tokyo ramen alleys to tapas bars in Seville, we explore how food fuels travel decisions just as much as scenery and sunshine.

So grab a fork (or chopsticks, or naan, or a tortilla) and join us

🏢Unpacking the East Coast

Wyatt returns from his caffeine-fueled East Coast extravaganza: Philly, Atlantic City, NYC. He rode the Amtrak, gambled responsibly (maybe), and consumed enough regional delicacies to qualify for a Food Network show. Cheesesteaks. Pretzels. Slices. Bagels. Red Bull. Espresso. Then more Red Bull. Then… Flubber.

🌴 Unpacking the West Coast

Chantel recaps her L.A. trip—equal parts cozy and chic. She enjoyed her 2nd family nights with homer dinners and Netflix followed by glam outings, a shiny new purchase, and a stroll through the ever-photogenic Huntington Gardens. Balance is key, even in Los Angeles.

🚆 Railway Rating: Amtrak Edition

All aboard! Wyatt gives his hot take on the Philly-to-NYC Amtrak experience—station vibes, onboard drama (or lack thereof), and why he’s now a card-carrying fan of the U.S. rail system. Spoiler: America needs faster trains, like, yesterday.

🛄 Runway Report: JFK & LAX

JFK joins our elite airport ranking list as Wyatt breaks down the labyrinth of terminals and whether it deserves the love (or loathing). Meanwhile, Chantel doubles down on her feelings about LAX. No spoilers, but she’s a fan.

🔫What in the World is Going On in Barcelona?

Barcelona is clapping back at overtourism—literally—with water guns. Protesters are soaking visitors in the streets, and it’s not just a Catalan thing. From Spain to Sicily, the Mediterranean is drawing a line in the (sunburnt) sand as summer tourism hits full blast.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Wyatt’s cooked up something new—and no surprise, it’s travel-related. Introducing the Trip Scenario Guide: your new best friend for planning that someday-soon or even two-years-from-now adventure. Why? Because we’re obsessed with travel… and honestly, kind of elite at planning it. Yes, even the “we might go in 2027” kind of planning. Crazy? Maybe. Helpful? Absolutely.

🍩 Malasadas vs. Shave Ice (10:18)

This week’s seat pocket debate flies us back to Hawaii for the ultimate snack showdown. Chantel is Team Shave Ice all day—colorful, cold, and perfect after a beach day. But Wyatt? He’s riding hard for the warm, fluffy joy of a Malasada. Sugar vs. syrup—only one island treat can win.

🏈 NFL x Hawaii (18:03)

Before we dive into Maui Camp madness, we’re rewinding the tape on the NFL’s old flame: Hawaii. From Pro Bowl glory days to the cold shoulder, we break down how the relationship began, why it fizzled, and if there’s hope for a reunion.

🌺 LA Rams Take Maui

Turns out, Hawaii and the Rams are teaming up—and it’s not just for the pretty views. The Hawaii Tourism Authority signed on the dotted line, and we’re digging into what’s in it for both sides. Timing, strategy, and why Hawaii matters for the Rams.

✈️ What in the World Is Going on with Top Gun? (62:35)

Vegas is getting a Top Gun attraction (finally). Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia is easing up on alcohol laws to boost tourism. We unpack both—because if Tom Cruise and tourism laws are trending, you know we’ve got thoughts.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Big news out of Seattle - Captures by Chantel is officially back? Wait…back? Yes, back! Chantel gives the rundown of how this all came to be and what it means for The Bag Tag! Then we discuss who the heck actually uses shoe shiners at airport. Not captures related but still important. 

💺 Seat Pocket: Best Hotel Amenity 

Sure, the price of the hotel is a major factor when tryna decide where to stay but so do hotel amenities. When looking to make the final decision, which hotel amenity actually sends it over the top to get you to book? Is it the free breakfast, nice gym, pool, hot tub? 

👼 Chantel’s “Business” Trip to LA

It’s not realllyyyy a business trip, however, she’s not really going to site see. She’s off to visit her bestie who’s holding a dance recital as well as a bridal shower! Don’t worry, we still give you the history of Los Angeles, the things you didn’t know about LA and top things to do. 

🌏 Universal Studios India 

We’re back to talk Universal Studios for what feels like the millionth time! This update is all about there new INDOOR park in India. We dive into what it will look like, why the location makes sense, and give you everything you need to know about this big international move. 

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We kick off bringing back the nonsense of TSA’s rule that Peanut Butter is a liquid, which begs us to wonder how many peanut butter cups would cause a traveler to be flagged with too much liquid? Oh, and we watched National Treasure ... .certified fresh travel movie! 

💺 Seat Pocket: New York Slice, New York Bagel, or Philly Cheesesteak (09:15)

As if there isn’t a big enough rival between Philadelphia and New York, we enter the battlefield to discuss which east coast food is the most iconic - the New York Slice of Pizza, a New York Bagel, or a Philly Cheesesteak. If you walk away with anything here, it’s likely hunger. 

🥨 Philly - What You Didn’t Know and What to do (15:44)

In Philly, we explore a food lover’s paradise with over 80 vendors (yes, Amish soft pretzels and fresh oysters), and take you inside the wildly unique Philadelphia Magic Gardens — an Instagram dream made of mosaic-covered walls and pure artistic chaos.

🎰 Atlantic City  - What You Didn’t Know and What to do (25:08)

In Atlantic City, we uncover 5 things you didn’t know, like how the classic Monopoly board is basically a city map, and peek into the hidden tunnels under the boardwalk. We also count down 5 must-do experiences, from walking the historic Boardwalk to placing your bets at the casino (spoiler: Vikings vs. Patriots in the Super Bowl?).

🍕New York City  - What You Didn’t Know and What to do (36:26)

 In NYC, it’s all about the unexpected — from kayaking on the Hudson to exploring abandoned smallpox hospitals. We dig into how much of Manhattan is literally man-made, why the Empire State Building gets struck by lightning a lot, and which sky-high observation decks are worth the trip (or the elevator ride).

🌎What in the World is going on in San Diego? (60:42)

We break down the jaw-dropping opening of the Gaylord Pacific Resort in Chula Vista — a $1.3B mega-hotel with a lazy river, 12 restaurants, and enough meeting space to host a small nation. It’s the biggest hospitality opening of 2025 and a game-changer for the West Coast.

 Whether you're into food, fun facts, architecture, or just tagging along on Wyatt’s packed itinerary, this episode is a coast-to-coast ride you won’t want to miss.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The official start of summer travel is here - we breakdown all the stats for flying, driving…and walking? Jk who walks to vacation?!? We’re breaking down the numbers and the places people are headed for Memorial Day weekend in 2025! 

💺 Seat Pocket: The Most Universal Movie (15:23)

Not like the movie that everyone around the universe would like but the most iconic Universal Movie…get it…like the studio?! In honor of Epic Universe, we’re staying on theme to debate if Jaws, Jurassic Park, Shrek, How to Train Your Dragon, Mummy, omg how many more do I need to list??? You get the gist. 

🛄 Tag The Terminal (23:14)

We’re back with another round of Tag the Terminal. This will even up the amount of attempts but will Wyatt be able to catch Chantel…only if he guesses it from The Bag Tag code! 

🌎 Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe (31:08)

With the grand opening of Epic Universe, we break down everything you need to know. We start with a quick overview of Universal Orlando’s original campus including Universal Florida, Island of Adventure, and Volcano Bay Park before we enter into Epic Universe. We highlight each of the 5 new parks - Celestial Park - How to Train Your Dragon - Isle of Berk - Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Ministry of Magic - Dark Universe - Super Nintendo World 

🌐 What in the World is Bare Beating? (57:39)

No, it’s not inappropriate but it is irritating. First we had rawdogging, than barebacking, and now bare beating and it’s taking over public transportation…in a very bad way. 

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We’re back, and oh boy—there’s so much to unpack. Wyatt’s been working on his harmonica skills (still not stage-ready for the Taggies, but stay tuned). The Pope might’ve taken the name Leo, but Wyatt & Chantel made it iconic first—tattoos don’t lie. And yes, Wyatt is still emotionally invested in Oliver & Phoenix sailing to Hawaii like a modern-day Moana fanfic.

Seat Pocket – Talking to Strangers on Planes (0:12:15)

Fresh off a flight from Kansas City, Wyatt found himself seated next to someone who hasn’t flown since pagers were a thing—and they wanted to chat. So, what is the etiquette for talking to your airplane neighbor? We dig into the unspoken rules of mile-high small talk.

Unpacking Kansas City (0:22:12)

Enter: the MudBnB—equal parts chaos and charm. Wyatt breaks down a wild KC trip complete with BBQ showdowns (Q39 vs. Chef J), an emo Cinco de Mayo, escape rooms, Green Lady Lounge jazz, and doctor-themed shenanigans. Conclusion? Kansas City is criminally underrated.

Unpacking Naples, Florida Next stop: Naples for one of the best-planned bachelorette parties of all time (shoutout to Brett’s sister, aka Queen House Mom). Think beach picnics, perfectly crustless tea sandwiches, poolside hangs, party bus to a dolphin-filled catamaran ride, and a hibachi chef with sake-squirting precision. Oh, and blood bag cocktails, naturally.

Unpacking Tampa/St. Pete (1:01:04) Tampa brought the chill: reunited with Onyx the cat, befriended a clowder of kitties, painted ravioli (kind of), and crossed off Florida bucket list items like Waffle House, Pub Subs, key lime pie, and a bear fight shot. Bern’s Steakhouse sealed the deal with a life-changing chateaubriand.

Sky Score – Alaska, Southwest, American(1:31:09)

Southwest? Felt like trying to cop limited-edition sneakers, but worth it for the window seat, cheerful vibes, free WiFi, and Dr. Pepper. Alaska? Weird bag drop setup, but smooth sailing. American? The drama: delays, catering chaos, gate lice, and one lonely pack of pretzels to show for it. We’ve got thoughts, tips, and turbulence.

Runway Report – MCI & TPA (1:48:18)

Kansas City (MCI) is brand new, sleek, shaped like an H (who knew?), and full of chill, modern vibes—7/10 for sure. Tampa (TPA)? Trams before TSA were cool, but the rest was a letdown. Missed the iconic flamingo statue and paid $24 for a glass of prosecco at a pirate-themed bar. Beware the bubbly.

What in the World Is Going On – Newark Airport Outages   (2:01:56)

Newark is... struggling. Multiple air traffic outages, outdated tech from the disco era, and stressed-out controllers are causing major delays. We break down what’s going wrong, what the FAA’s doing about it (hint: not enough), and how travelers can stay sane through the chaos.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Bag Tag Pod turns ONE! We’re officially celebrating our first anniversary with a whole lot of love, laughs, and a healthy dose of chaos. Over the past year, we’ve built something special, and today we’re reflecting on how far we’ve come. Oh, and Real IDs? They’re finally being enforced... and we still don’t have ours. Do better than us.

✈️  Seat Pocket  - Best Year One Moment? (12:51)

Wyatt and Chantel take a stroll down memory lane and revisit the best (and most unhinged) moments from the first year of the podcast. From cross-country trips and wild travel bets to unforgettable games and on-the-go storytimes, we packed in a lot of adventure. One year later, we’re still learning and still overpacking, every single time.

📍 Florida Showdown Naples or Tampa - Bachelorette Weekend (21:56)

Things heat up with a Florida-themed trivia challenge: Tampa vs. Naples. We test our knowledge with 16 questions about top attractions, quirky history, and surprising facts—bragging rights are on the line. Chantel also shares the itinerary for her upcoming bachelorette trip weekend in Naples, full of beach hangs, good food, and a catamaran party that promises to be one for the books. After the bachelorette chaos, we roll right into a chill Tampa Bay week focused on our favorite things: eating, relaxing, and crossing some very Florida items off our bucket list, including spotting a gator, trying key lime pie, and yes—finally getting a sub (and weighing ourselves) at Publix.

🎢 What in the World: Universal Heads to the UK (64:48)

Universal is expanding again, and this time, they’re headed to the UK. A new theme park is coming to Bedford, and it’s going to be massive. The site will feature a full park, a hotel, and a restaurant district you can access without a park ticket. They’re aiming to draw in over eight million visitors per year by 2031, and construction is expected to start in 2026. No word yet on specific rides or franchises, but Universal says this will be the only park of its kind in Europe—and the start of something big for the UK’s entertainment scene.

🎙️ Here’s to Year 2!

Whether you’ve been here from the very beginning or just found us on your feed, we’re so grateful you’re part of the Bag Tag journey. One year down, and we’re only getting started. Here’s to more travel, more storytelling, and more ridiculous moments along the way.

Wyatt’s down bad with a cold (no harmonica practice this week 😔), but he did kick off season two of The Rehearsal…set at Houston Airport(sorta). Plus, the crew celebrates the launch of Eva Longoria: Searching for Spain on CNN. Come for the sniffles, stay for the spicy TV recs!

💺 Seat Pocket - Bareback Boarding: Is It Psychotic? (08:20)

Is it unhinged to board a flight with absolutely nothing? No bag, no carry-on, no personal item. Nada. Wyatt and Chantel get into a surprisingly heated debate about whether traveling light is minimalist genius... or psycho behavior.

Wyatt finally gets his harmonica and, has his first assignment. Chantel introduces us to Finch, her traveling virtual bird (yes, we’re all emotionally invested now). We’ll save the Vegas unpacking for next week because today we’re blasting off into space tourism—from billionaire joyrides to balloon cruises. Oh—and did we mention it’s National Park Week? Let’s get wild(erness).

​​💺 Seat Pocket: Build-Your-Own Space Crew (12:12)

Blue Origin just launched a stacked female passenger list, so naturally we’re asking: Who would you take to space?

Chantel’s got a controversial lineup (yes, Sigourney Weaver is involved), Wyatt’s leaning heavily into Marvel, and let’s just say... tensions rise when it’s time to pick each other. It’s like fantasy football, but in zero gravity.

🛄Tag the Terminal: Round 5 Chantel (21:13)

Chantel takes the first crack at this round of Tag the Terminal with a city full of stars, oil, and queen energy (👑👀). Will she widen the gap in this airport-guessing game or spiral into orbit? The clues are cryptic, the stakes are high, and the drama? Immaculate.

🌌 Space Tourism: Flights & Hotels (32:09)

We’re going full throttle into the wild world of space tourism:

• Blue Origin: Fully autonomous rocket rides with parachute landings.
• Virgin Galactic: Branson’s glitzy 90-minute joyrides from New Mexico, complete with weightlessness and a $450K price tag.
• Space Perspective: Space... by balloon? With a bar? And a bathroom? It’s luxury “space glamping” at 100,000 feet.
• Space Hotels: Orbital Assembly and Vast are building floating resorts—some with gravity, some without. We’re talking maple interiors, inflatable duvets, and space basketball. It’s like a Marriott in the Milky Way.

Is space the new weekend getaway? We unpack the tech, the price tags, the vibes—and yes, who’s already booking weddings in orbit.

🌍What in the World: Hawaii’s Name Change (66:51)

The Big Island might finally get its name back—just “Hawai‘i,” no extra labels. We unpack the identity, the proposal, and why this small name change is a big deal for Native Hawaiians. Chantel gets personal (10 years living there!), Wyatt’s shocked, and we all learn something that makes us a little more grounded—before we float off again.

🎧 So buckle up—this episode’s got harmonicas, space hotels, and a possible showdown over Beyoncé's hometown. You don’t want to miss it.

We are in full-on chaos mode. We just finished unpacking from a whirlwind trip to Vancouver and are already tossing swimsuits and sparkles into our suitcases for Las Vegas. It’s that time of year where everything is moving at lightning speed, and somehow our brains are already scheduling things for Christmas. But hey, it’s going to be a wild ride full of memories, late nights, and more than a few martinis—and we’re here for all of it.

🎰 Seat Pocket Debate: Slots or card games? (11:11)

Before we jet off, we’ve got to settle a classic Vegas debate: are you a slots person or a card games person? Wyatt really just wants the iconic push-the-button lady. We’re diving into what makes each experience so memorable and which one gives you the better story to bring home.

🧳 Unpacking Vancouver (20:24)

Our weekend in Vancouver was fast, fun, and filled in the best way. Friday night was filled with a birthday cake adventure that took us from Stock Room (where we forgot how to get in) to Isabella’s Night Club, where the cake made multiple appearances. There was a cranberry juice shooter situation involving Chantel, and yes, the cake somehow survived the night

Saturday was a more leisurely vibe as we wandered around the city with Henry, stopping by the famous steam clock and checking out the pier and ending with the chaos of a hockey game.

Sunday, we took on Stanley Park and made it further than Second Beach before soaking up the sun at English Bay. We wrapped it all up with a stroll through Granville Island 

🎲 Packing for Las Vegas (60:42)

Next stop: Sin City. We’re leaning into a weekend of martinis, bikinis, and slot machinis. We’re planning a mix of pool lounging, light gambling, and maybe catching a show (sadly just missing Kygo by two weeks).

As for Vegas trivia? We’ve got it covered. With history, fun facts, and things you didn’t know about Las Vegas like….the Strip isn’t technically in Las Vegas? Or that the city has over 150,000 hotel rooms, and a secret network of tunnels running beneath it? From the Sphere’s upcoming Wizard of Oz immersive experience to a John Wick attraction and Universal’s horror concept opening in 2025, Vegas continues to out-Vegas itself.

🌍 What in the World (93:57)

And finally, we’re heading to Toronto (not actually. Because the city’s newest must-see attraction isn’t a landmark or museum… it’s a tree. Meet Rodney, a modest little Eastern Redbud that was planted in a front yard on Massey Street after a bureaucratic battle involving a very determined guy named

Hit play, pack your bags, and let’s take off—this episode is one part jet lag, two parts chaos, and a full pour of fun. 🎧🍸

This week, we attempt to tell you about our weekend playing tour guide in Seattle for our friends Austin & Nicole... but chaos (a.k.a. Henry & Freddie) keeps derailing the story.

💺Seat Pocket Debate: 1 Big Trip or tons of Tiny Trips? (12:38)

Is it better to take one big trip or multiple small ones? Chantel says less stress, more vibes. Wyatt says YOLO. Let us know what side you’re on!

🍹 Caffeine or alcohol—what’s the ultimate in-flight drink? (09:41)

Wyatt and Chantel go head-to-head in this week’s Seat Pocket debate. Is it all about setting the right vibes, or is there an actual strategy behind your beverage of choice? Whether you’re team “espresso martini at takeoff” or “coffee till we land,” this discussion might make you rethink your drink order at 35,000 feet.

🏝️ Tanzania Adventure (18:40)

The final leg of our Tanzania adventure takes us from Moshi’s lush landscapes to Zanzibar’s sun-soaked beaches. Chantel explores Moshi while Wyatt conquers Kilimanjaro, and the two reunite for a well-earned beach escape. Think coffee farms, waterfalls, and hot springs—plus a deep dive into the must-try local dishes like Ugali, Mandazi, and the banana-based brew, Mbege. If Tanzania is on your bucket list (or you just love food), this segment is chef’s kiss perfection! 😘🍛

🛫 Runway Report ZNZ & DAR (65:30)

Zanzibar’s airport is a hot mess—literally. From questionable efficiency to zero air conditioning, we break down the chaos that is ZNZ. But not all is lost!

Say goodbye to NYC’s iconic MetroCard—it’s officially being phased out. But don’t panic!

 🦁 Unpacking the Serengeti's Wild Wonders (19:58)From the Ngorongoro Crater to the vast plains of the Serengeti, we’re taking you on a safari filled with jaw-dropping moments. We talk about witnessing a baby elephant’s birth, a lion feast on a zebra, and the stunning stays at Mawe Mawe and Sound of Silence. Plus, nothing beats watching the sunrise over the Serengeti from a hot air balloon.
