Locations in this article:  New York City, NY

This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel comes from New York City. Peter has the updates on all the flight cancellations and delays (now more than 20,000 since Christmas). And an updated report on the CDC recommendation to avoid taking a cruise, regardless of vaccination status. And a look at 2022 airfares (some good news). What happens in many divorce cases? Battle over custody of the kids? Who gets to keep the house? Of course. But in many divorces, the real mano a mano fight is all about…who gets to keep the frequent flyer miles! Gary Leff, Founder of ViewfromtheWing.com, reports on the wild story of Robert De Niro and the case of the 7 million missing Delta SkyMiles. Then, Bob Dotson, Creator of The American Story on the Today Show, shares the remarkable story of what he found in the attic of a firehouse in Oklahoma. And…how many countries have you visited? We’ll check in with Jessica Nabongo, the first Black woman to travel to every single country in the world, with some of her surprise discoveries — ranging from South Sudan to Uzbekistan. And — especially in the era of COVID — what’s the best seat on the plane? Professor Sheldon H. Jacobson has done the research, and the answers might surprise you! And Peter answers your travel questions. There’s all this and more on this episode of Eye on Travel.
