Peter Greenberg Worldwide — Newport Beach, California — June 6, 2026

This week’s broadcast of Peter Greenberg Worldwide is from Lido House in Newport Beach, California. I have all the travel updates, including explosively high airfares on a number of domestic routes, which U.S. airline bumps the most passengers (a surprise), and the real numbers behind the demise of Spirit Airlines. A conversation with author and former First Lady of Iceland Eliza Reid, on her memoir, The First Lady Next Door, who praises travel for restoring her faith in humanity and building resilience and adaptability. Peter also sits down with Walter Cho, Chairman and CEO of Korean Air, on how his airline is still growing in spite of high fuel prices, and regional conflicts. Then a deep dive into Newport Beach with Historian Bill Lobdell, and John Conners, from the Balboa Island museum. Riley Huddleston, Chef Partner of The Mayor’s Table at Lido House Hotel, on the changing nature of sourcing food and structuring a cutting-edge menu. And I answer your travel questions. There’s all this and more on this week’s Peter Greenberg Worldwide.
