This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel is from the Virgin Hotels London-Shoreditch. I have all the travel updates, including the latest on proposed government tariffs, to new routes, to what’s on tap — good, bad and ugly for 2025 travel. Jeremy Tarr, Editorial Director of Fodor’s, shares its “no-list” of travel — places you might want to avoid this coming year. Urban historian Mike Althorpe, on the hidden London neighborhood gem of Shoreditch, and reveals some special London history, from 18th-century squares, to 1980s street art, and beyond. Fred Finn, who holds the Guinness record as the World’s Most Traveled Man (and Author of “Sonic Boom”), shares his experiences from 31,000 hours flying just with the legendary Concorde. Clint Henderson, Managing Editor of The Points Guy, on the latest airline ticketing hacks. Andrea Burchett, Chief Loyalty Officer at Virgin Group, joins the program to discuss changes to Virgin’s loyalty program and what that means for travelers. And James Bermingham, CEO of Virgin Hotels Collection, on his hotel room design psychology, hotel location psychology, and of course, the change in hotel service, guest demands and expectations. There’s all this and more on this week’s Eye on Travel from London.
