About Shawn Gallagher

Shawn Gallagher grew up for 18 years in Tokyo, Japan, in an international family. He made frequent trips across the Pacific to visit family on the US East Coast from a young age, and the concept of air travel has stuck with him since. Now based in both New York City and Boston, he shares his lifelong experience and knowledge on Altitude Yes.

He focuses on loyalty programs, his own experiences on the go, and ongoing airline news to help others see what’s possible in today’s points and miles world.

Aside from the points and miles world, Shawn specializes in the business of the transpacific air travel market. Trends in how and where people move, products offered by airlines, and ongoing geopolitics are key things that shape the transpacific market and bring the vast ocean together, and are ultimately the key topics he focuses on.

You can connect with Shawn via email, X, Instagram, and Bluesky.
