On this week’s Eye on Travel, I ask the questions: Should the airlines base their fares on how much you weigh? And what’s going on at Southwest’s gates? A report on not just how many foreign travelers are not flying to the US, with some sobering numbers, but a look at how many Americans are not traveling overseas as well. Jeremy Tarr, Editorial Director at Fodors, on what drives airline fare differences. A chat with former Chairman of the Royal Caribbean Group Richard Fain on his life building one of the largest cruise ship brands in the world, in his new book, “Delivering the Wow.” And the latest update from the world of AI and travel with expert, Gilad Berenstein — as well as what AI “demasking” means. And part of our continuing conversations with legendary hoteliers at historic hotels… I sit down with Anthony Taylor, General Manager of the Oriental Hotel in Bangkok. And of course, I answer your travel questions. There’s all this and more on this week’s Eye on Travel.
