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

And for people who travel frequently, this is hugely important and a great source of anxiety because voice-verified

Airlines more or less gave everybody a year, an extra year to cover the pandemic. voice-verified

So whatever status you had in 2019, you still have it. voice-verified

So some have reduced levels. voice-verified

Some have said, hey, we'll include your 2020 travel as well. voice-verified

There was some travel in 2020 and that'll help you requalify. voice-verified

But I think you're going to see a scramble in the second half of the year if people feel more confident traveling. voice-verified

They're going to be taking trips just to qualify for their elite levels. voice-verified

And I think you'll also see airlines start, and this will come at the end of the year, start making offers to people who aren't able to requalify. voice-verified

I would suspect, based on past history, that you're going to have to pay at this point to keep your status level. voice-verified

I don't think they're just going to sort of blanket say, hey, here's an extra year for everybody. voice-verified

But we'll see. voice-verified

Always a pleasure, JR. voice-verified
