    Hilton Boycott Misplaced? Entitled Airline Passengers, Censorship and Traveling the USA

    Too many people jump on X and other platforms to immediately jump to a conclusion, before having a single fact. That just happened in MN with the ire being directed at the Hilton Hotels corporate office due to a franchisee's ridiculous approach to gov employees. How bad is flying these days? If you get stuck with another entitled passenger, demanding you give up your set, tell them to take a hike...off a wing, ideally. That and more news of the week on TravelTube.com!

    Are Travel Agents Dead?

    Wow, a short clip of last week's interview with an advisor went viral on TikTok, which showed just how many people think travel agents are dead. wiht over 130 comments and growing, I thought I'd address the reality and point out just how clueless so many are. I'd say it surprised me, but that would be a lie. You see, despite decades of travel associations tied to building up the travel agency channel and awareness for it, they've failed miserably. But to cut them some slack, I'd bet that 90% of those sharing the most clueless posts are the same people that still think the Covid vaccine works.
