Today, I'm chatting with Michael.  Him and his team provide expert advisory and booking services for all aspects of luxury travel. 

In this episode we discuss the math and science of how hotels decide to upgrade you, the art of finessing your way into different complimentary perks, myths and tactics that won’t actually get you upgraded,  and so much more!
