New Folo episode: Catching up on airlines, advisors and the war

Welcome back to the Folo by Travel Weekly. We are back – this is the first in all-new episodes on the latest travel trends and news, brought to you by our team of reporters and expert guests and hosted by director of editorial strategy Rebecca Tobin. This week and next we’re talking to all our reporting team on the biggest stories in travel right now – what we’ve been watching during the last two months and what we’re looking at going forward.  We’re diving in right now on air with aviation reporter and editor at large Robby Silk, and the latest travel agency data with Jamie Biesiada, our editor of content innovation and retail. Of course the Iran war and its implications is prominent, but there are other topics, too -- TSA, advisor booking trends -- that you're going to want to catch up on. These episodes were recorded over the past two weeks at the end of March and beginning of April. And have been edited for length and clarity.
