2 weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending the 2016 Freddie Awards, which, for those that don’t know is essentially the “Emmy Awards of the travel industry.” I recently bought a 360 degree camera, which I’m testing out while traveling and at events. Being bogged down with the launch of our next Frequent Traveler University and the Star Alliance MegaDo 7, I had not had time to post the videos and pictures I took that night.
Wanting to give you an inside look at the event, there’s no better way than a 360 degree view, so let’s take a look:
