Q&A: Johnny Jet shares his mile-tested travel advice - Santa Cruz Sentinel
Expert will offer tips on kid-friendly destinations, mileage rewards and more at upcoming Bay Area Travel & Adventure Show
Johnny Jet, aka John DiScala, was an unlikely candidate for the job of global travel expert. At 17, he had a panic attack before a long, expensive trip from New York to Australia and never got on the plane. That anxiety persisted for a few years until he managed to overcome his fear of flying (you can learn how on his website, JohnnyJet.com) — and then, well, you couldn’t keep him on the ground.
Since 1995, he’s logged more than 3 million miles, all while offering advice on everything from maximizing your credit card rewards to finding Instagram-worthy destinations. He sends his followers a daily travel tip and a weekly e-newsletter full of travel deals, news, tips and stories.
