This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel is from Manchester, in the UK. Peter has all the updates on the government shutdown in the U.S. and the air traffic control situation, and how to navigate the inevitable delays and flight cancellations. And a conversation with 737 Captain Dennis Tajer, with his pilot’s perspective on the shutdown and the impact on safety and security. Peter talks with Gary Leff, Founder of ViewFromTheWing.com, on the continuing devaluation of frequent flyer points—and programs. Then a deeper dive into the history and culture of Manchester with Esme Ward, Director of the Manchester Museum. Then Rob Kelly takes Peter on a special culinary journey through the English city. And as always, Peter answers your travel questions. There’s all this and more on this edition of Eye on Travel.
