Non-Rev Super Traveler Brooke: 60 Countries, Group Trips, Baby Travel, and a Harry Styles Encounter
The hosts of the Non Rev Lounge (Monique, Tyler, and Lara) welcome coworker Brooke, a frequent non-rev traveler in her early 30s who has visited 60 countries, completed five of the Seven Wonders (missing Christ the Redeemer and the Great Wall), and discusses visas, including China’s challenges for non-revs and India visas. Brooke shares why she joined aviation for flight benefits, her start at Piedmont and move to mainline, and how Express employees often use benefits more. She explains planning group birthday trips, using hotel benefits, Splitwise for shared costs, and choosing destinations by weather and social media. Travel highlights include a rugged Komodo Islands liveaboard from Bali and visiting Petra and the Dead Sea. She also covers working pregnant on the ramp, traveling with a seven-month-old, and recounts meeting and repeatedly interacting with Harry Styles in Seoul and later London.
