A big “thank you” to agents: Industry shows appreciation at Travelweek’s ‘Future of Travel’ event

Here are some key updates from yesterday’s keynote speakers:

Jamie Milton, President, Uniglobe Carefree Travel, the founding travel agency of Travel Agent Day

A big “thank you” to agents: Industry shows appreciation at Travelweek's 'Future of Travel' event

Jamie Milton

When asked what inspired the very first Travel Agent Day back in 2011, Milton said she and her colleague, Colleen Lorenzen, had always felt that travel agents deserved their own day to be recognized, much like their staff on Admin Assistance Day. And now, more than a decade later, Travel Agent Day has taken off across Canada and in various parts of the world, with a vast number of suppliers offering booking incentives, rewards, prizes and words of appreciation every year. But what Milton really hopes to see from suppliers is competitive commissions and commission protection.

“I think we all deserve fair pay for the work that’s being done. And I think that’s something that came to light throughout this past winter as being very

Quarterback Lamar Jackson hands the ball off to running back Kenyan Drake.

The Cleveland Browns are still sorting out their depth chart behind all-world running back Nick Chubb and well-traveled veteran Kenyan Drake has been linked to the team as a potential option.

Drake is a free agent after playing last season with the Baltimore Ravens. He was effective during his time on the field in Baltimore’s run-heavy offense, rushing the ball 109 times for 482 yards and four touchdowns. He averaged 4.4 yards per carry in 2022 and has averaged 4.5 per tote over his career.

Drake can also play a role in the passing game, with 216 receptions in his career for 1,624 yards and eight touchdowns.

Bleacher Report singled out the Browns as a realistic landing spot prior to training camp for Drake as he searches for his next team.

“He’s not an every-down back, but

Two self-styled militia members, who were arrested after one shot at FBI agents at the Lake of the Ozarks, planned to travel to Texas shoot at undocumented immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexican border and murder Border Patrol agents who would have tried to stop them, according to new charges filed against them.

During our family road trip toward our final stop in Missouri, we decided to have a BBQ dinner at Hickory Log located in Dexter, Missouri. They truly live up to their motto of “Famous for Bar-BQ Ribs!” This restaurant with its rustic elegance décor has been open since 1953 and I know why!

Memorial Day weekend air travel tops pre-pandemic levels: TSA

Air travel during the four-day Memorial Day holiday weekend topped pre-pandemic levels, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced Tuesday.

The TSA said its agents screened nearly 9.8 million individuals at airports across the country over the holiday period — about 300,000 more than the 2019 Memorial Day weekend, before the COVID-19 pandemic hit.

Friday reached 2.74 million people screened at airports, which the TSA says is the most it’s recorded in a day since the pandemic.

The reported figures are in line with an AAA prediction that air travel would surge back to pre-pandemic levels.

The TSA has also forecasted an overall increase in travel this summer, which begins Memorial Day and runs through Labor Day in September.

The rise in Memorial Day air travel and the anticipated summer levels come after other high holiday travel numbers in recent months that have signaled travel and transportation are returning to

Is AI better for trip planning?

I was with my travel agent for only a couple of minutes before getting a detailed itinerary for an upcoming trip to New York City. The schedule not only included suggested activities during a mid-September weekend, such as a stroll through Central Park and a visit to the Empire State Building but also factored in time for flights from Nashville, Tennessee, where I live.

“Can you help me book those flights?” I asked.

“I’m sorry, but as an AI language model, I don’t have the capability to book flights for you,” ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence computer program from OpenAI, responded.

I was using the term “travel agent” loosely.

Killers of the Flower Moon review: Scorsese’s handsome Western is ‘too slow’

Other alternative protagonists keep drifting into view. The film is adapted from David Grann’s book, which is subtitled “The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI”, and yet the main agent responsible for cracking the case, played by Jesse Plemons, isn’t introduced for two hours. Incidentally, the lawyers in the subsequent court case, played by John Lithgow and Brendan Fraser, don’t turn up for another half-hour after that. Or what about Mollie, who trusts Ernest, but is also a proud, cool-headed, perceptive woman who is determined that justice will be served? Might the film have had more purpose if it had concentrated on her? There are fascinating revelations about how the Osage people are infantilized, and how they conduct their business, but these should have accounted for a bigger chunk of the three-and-a-half hour running time.

The last half-hour in particular prompts mixed feelings because, despite some touching, sober
