Using&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.point.me\/\">Point.me<\/a>&nbsp;on a paid plan, what would normally be a time-consuming chore is a fast and easy one. I can search every available airline option in one place, quickly adjusting departure city, date, and cabin class to see the best options for point redemptions. I found a 20K round trip from one airport and 32K from another that\u2019s closer (plus airport taxes). There are even more options if you have a credit card where you can transfer points to multiple programs or you pay your rent using&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biltrewards.com\/\">Bilt Rewards<\/a>&nbsp;and rack up points from that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Free Wi-Fi Eventually on 4 U.S. Airlines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With American Airlines announcing recently that they\u2019re going to offer free satellite Wi-Fi to loyalty members on flights, this means all 3 legacy U.S. carriers should have it in place by next year. It was already free on JetBlue. On Alaska Air you can get it free if you\u2019re a T-Mobile customer but on Southwest, not at all unless you bought a Business Select ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Cheapest Places to Live in the World, Take 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of last year I put up an article on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheapestdestinationsblog.com\/2024\/12\/20\/cheapest-places-to-live-2025\/\">the cheapest places to live in the world&nbsp;<\/a>and apart from a degradation in the value of the greenback lately because of the economic chaos, it\u2019s still the best guide out there if you\u2019re looking to cut your monthly expenses in half. Some people would rather watch than read though, so I put together a video on the subject on my YouTube channel.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/WftOAJ7IQio?feature=shared\">Check it out here<\/a>. (Want more detailed advice?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaplivingabroad.com\/\">Get my book<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Live TV Channel<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve cut the cord or are traveling and miss live TV, then the website&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tv.garden\/\">TV Garden<\/a>&nbsp;is for you. It shows feeds of TV shows around the world, so you can use it to tune into what\u2019s local or see channels from your home country. You can get BBC news on there and the selection from the USA is surprisingly robust, with CNBC, the Food Network, local network affiliates, and various Adult Swim animated channels available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A weekly newsletter with four quick bites, edited by Tim Leffel, author of\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/cbjyU?utm_campaign=Nomadico&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\"><em>A Better Life for Half the Price<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>The World\u2019s Cheapest Destinations<\/em>.
