WSJ Your Money Briefing · How Travel Is Changing as We Look Beyond the Pandemic · 13 Jan 2021 podcast

So if it's the case of, hey, I got a fever, but I want to go, I'm going to wait two days, and then you got to buy essentially a walk-up ticket for that travel two days later, it could be double the cost. voice-verified

And so you have paid a penalty for essentially doing the right thing and trying to keep other passengers healthy as well as yourself. voice-verified

This is a real problem that the pandemic has essentially highlighted that the industry needs to deal with one way or the other. voice-verified

We can't be sort of pressuring sick passengers to get on the airplane because not taking the flight is going to cost them a lot of money. voice-verified

That was a trend that started before the pandemic and I think is really going to accelerate. voice-verified

Somebody described it to me as low and slow. voice-verified

The days of sort of the capitals tour of Europe or six different countries across Asia, three days here, three days there, you know, skip your way across the continent. voice-verified

I think that's not a good way to travel anymore. voice-verified

And I think a lot of people want to not only take their time, but get to know countries better, get to know communities better, spend more time really exploring neighborhoods and things like that. voice-verified

It is better to go someplace and stay. voice-verified

The more borders you're crossing... voice-verified

The more flights you're taking, the more hotels you're checking into and out of, the more danger of getting infected or getting delayed or stranded because, you know, you may be vaccinated, you may be fine, but a surge breaks out and all of a sudden the country is going to close down the borders and you're stuck. voice-verified

I think people's travel, which is becoming more purposeful anyway, I think that's the pandemic really sort of accelerates that trend in many ways. voice-verified

WSJ Your Money Briefing · What Will Traveling Look Like--and Cost--in 2021? · 6 Jan 2021 podcast

Travelers are at the point, there's so much pent-up demand and frustration that if you can afford it, you're going to pay it to get on the airplane and go once you feel that it is safe to go. voice-verified

Good to be with you, JR. voice-verified

What it means is that ticket prices, and I think you're going to see this in some hotels too, they're going to be very volatile this year. voice-verified

There may be some destinations at some times when a lot of people want to go and airlines, that demand will ramp up faster than airline ability to add more flights. voice-verified

And so you have more demand for the few seats that are available now. voice-verified

And what you'll see are much higher prices. voice-verified

And that's certainly welcome news to airlines. voice-verified
