This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel is from Oxford Exchange in Tampa Bay, Florida. I have all the travel updates, plus a strategic look ahead for travel in 2026, ranging from hot spots to aviation safety. 737 Captain Dennis Tajer looks back on 2025 — with a closer look at the FAA. What the pilot’s perspective tells him — and you. And the latest travel research from Amir Eylon, President and CEO of Longwoods International, and what to expect in 2026. Then a deep dive into Tampa, from pro football to cigars, from the top chef restaurant scene to one of my favorite destinations — Tampa International Airport. And of course, I answer your questions as we ring in the new year. There’s all this and more on this week’s Eye on Travel.
