Morning Wire
The Overhaul That Could Transform U.S. Air Travel

more Americans travel now than ever before because all this competition especially on the domestic side has really reduced prices and made it affordable for so many families that otherwise maybe couldn't have made that trip or businesses that had to do everything remotely but now they can afford spending a little extra money building those personal relationships on the business side of things so the entire experience has been raised there's no question about it I think they just say we're not done we're going to take it to the next level and I think that's a great thing for the entire air system and that traveler experience

Morning Wire

Nobody should be cut out of the travel experience.

Morning Wire
The Overhaul That Could Transform U.S. Air Travel

And I think the airlines are doing everything they can to make those investments, put those dollars in to make sure that everyone gets to, you know, be part of this great American thing.

Morning Wire

It's not just a thing.
