New York City, NY
This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel comes from New York City. There are still 5G problems and more disruptive passengers — but this time, it’s not about masks. It’s about upgrading! And I’ll talk about a looming problem with frequent flyer miles — will the IRS tax them as income? And the story of what one U.S. tax court ruled. Then, we have the new booster regulations for travel. I’m joined for a special report from Paris: Elaine Sciolino from The New York Times weighs in on what’s going on in France and the rest of the continent. Simon Wright, from The Economist, discusses the slow recovery of international flights and what we should realistically expect for 2022. Charlie Leocha, President at Travelers United, explains what rights you do – and don’t – have as an airline passenger and how you can avoid hidden hotel fees. And then, I’ll speak with writer Sara Dykman, Author of Bicycling with Butterflies: My 10,201-Mile Journey Following the Monarch Migration, on her solo travel experience of migrating with the butterflies and the important lessons she learned along the way. And of course, I’ll have the answers to all your travel questions as well. There’s all this and more on this edition of Eye on Travel.
