Eye on Travel — The Lodge at Torrey Pines — April 18, 2026

This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel is from The Lodge at Torrey Pines in La Jolla, California. Peter has all the travel updates, from the continuing travel fallout from the Iran conflict, to the latest information on airfare increases and looking at the real prospects — and literally the direction — of travel for summer 2026. Plus, a follow up report on airline safety with Greg Feith, former Senior Air Safety Investigator with the National Transportation Safety Board — going beyond the most recent accidents to addressing the failures of the FAA and what travelers need to know. We revisit the amazing story of the cruise ship Astoria with maritime historian Peter Knego — the saga of the ship that has sailed longer than any other — and its current fate. Then, a deep dive into La Jolla. Troy Johnson, Food Network host and Content Chief of San Diego Magazine, on the perfect positioning of La Jolla — and The Lodge at Torrey Pines, on great local food sourcing, the exploding restaurant and food scene, and the latest on defining hospitality and loyalty. And La Jolla at the forefront of preserving the coast, with Solange Jacobs, Executive Director of the Torrey Pines Conservancy. There’s all this and more on this edition of Eye on Travel.
