The Good, the Bad, and the Surprising Ways We’re Traveling Now
With travelers around the world taking their first flights in a while—and vacations beyond a drivable radius—we're starting to get back in the swing of things when it comes to travel, albeit very slowly. But as we get back out there, we wanted to look at what had changed (for better and for worse) about our travel habits, so this week, we tapped three industry experts to clue us into what they're seeing. First, we catch up with Sara Nelson, international president of the Association of Flight Attendants CWA, to hear about the fights and unruly passengers many flight attendants are facing in the skies right now—a sharp turn from when we talked about lobbying for a federal mask mandate last summer. Then, we speak to Divia Thani, Condé Nast Traveler’s global editorial director, about producing a travel magazine when, well, no one was traveling and what's brought her hope throughout the past year and a half. And finally, we chat with Lindsay Nelson, Tripadvisor's chief experience officer, about what changes they've seen in our travel habits over the pandemic—and how the company is changing tactics to keep up with travelers' evolving needs.
