American Airlines CEO Unconcerned by Potential U.S. Recession. – It is understandable for airline and hotel CEOs to get cocky when travel demand is so high. But consumer and business demand can turn on a dime during a recession. As much as we all want to travel after being home for 2 years, when people are fearful of their jobs, they stop or scale back discretionary spending (like flights). They may still travel, but they will take road trips instead of planes to their destinations to save money.

Why Travelers Still Need COVID Travel Insurance This Summer, According to Experts. – While the risk is lower for vaccinated and previously infected people, the risk isn’t zero. And with the U.S. and some other destinations requiring a negative test before entry, you don’t want to get surprised with a big bill while you wait until you receive the all-clear. Travel insurance helps to mitigate the cost and keeps you from blowing your budget. Check out the latest prices using our referral link to Allianz travel insurance.

I’ve been to the Chandelier in Vegas and the Carousel Bar in NOLA. But, it seems that I’ve been missing out on the L.A. Jackson right here in Nashville. Have you been to any of these unique bars?
