This week, I first discuss the latest trending news in travel, including the jet fuel crisis raising airfare costs, rumors of a potential United-American Airlines merger, Europe's new entry system, and more.
Later, I welcome Jessica Blotter, CEO and co-founder of Kind Traveler, to talk about how we can be better travelers. Blotter provides three key steps for all travelers to get started on being better travelers. She also describes why it's actually more affordable than you think to be an eco-friendly traveler and embrace sustainability, as well as how travel advisors can approach this topic with their clients.
The discussion on being better travelers begins after the 13-minute mark.
