This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel is from the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley, Minnesota. I have all the travel updates, with airfares dropping (election year exhaustion? consumer credit card debt?), and a look at airline dress codes. Then, Scott McCartney, Travel Editor Emeritus at The Wall Street Journal, on how the FAA has 138 different computer systems but 105 of them have been labeled “unsustainable” and what this means to you. Plus, from the zoo at airlines and airports, to the real zoo — one of the coolest as well as largest in America. Kurt Heizmann, Director of Animal Care at the Minnesota Zoo, on rare animal species and the zoo’s widespread conservation efforts. Katie Luber, President of the Minneapolis Institute of Art, discusses the museum’s amazing collection of over 100,000 works, including one of the most beautiful Rembrandt paintings in the Americas. There’s all this and more on this week’s Eye on Travel.
