About this episode

Mark Murphy discusses recent developments in travel, including improvements in TSA lines and various news stories affecting the industry.

Mark Murphy breaks down everything happening in travel right now — and doesn't hold back. This week: TSA lines are actually getting shorter (here's proof), ICE deployed to airports and what's really going on, the San Francisco arrest the media misrepresented, Delta tells Congress to get in line like everyone else, United's new Relax Row seating, the LaGuardia crash op-ed that missed the mark, Chicago's new 19% hotel tax and what it means for tourism, and the British grandmother story The Guardian ran without mentioning the most important facts. If you're a traveler, a travel agent, or anyone who's tired of getting half the story — this one's for you. 🎙️ Subscribe on your favorite podcast app | Follow us on social | TravelTube.com #Travel #TravelNews #TSA #AirportLines #TravelAgents #TravelTube
