This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel is coming from Queens in New York City and The Rockaway Hotel. Peter has all the travel updates, from airport runways literally melting in the United Kingdom to the craziest lost baggage stories. Then we’ll dive deep into Queens. Donovan Richards, Borough President of Queens, tells us how Queens is more than just where your plane touches down before you get to Manhattan — it’s a hub rich in history and diversity where over 200 languages are spoken. Regina Bain, Executive Director of the Louis Armstrong House Museum, an experience that celebrates the first Black pop star, from 60,000 archive pieces to the Armstrongs’ beautifully preserved blue kitchen. Gary Leff, Founder of ViewFromtheWing.com, talks about how to redeem frequent flyer miles at a time when it is getting increasingly harder to do so. And Nell McShane Wulfhart, Author of “The Great Stewardess Rebellion”, discusses the revolution that changed air travel. There’s all this and more on this edition of Eye on Travel.
