“I just saw three people jogging outside, and it inspired me to… get up and close the blinds.” Are you inspired to fly somewhere on vacation this summer? Hopefully your ride is smooth, unlike the recent Singapore Airlines flight; here is a riveting interview with one of the passengers about what it was like. In terms of your travel, good luck: Airlines are cutting back on routes across the U.S. even as consumer demand grows due to plane shortages, recalls, and the lack of financial viability for low-cost carriers like Spirit and Frontier Airlines. Atlanta and Orlando saw some of the biggest cuts in the number of seats available: about 860,000 fewer seats are available on routes flying out of Atlanta this summer. Bloomberg reports that Delta cut about 2.3 million total seats from its plans for the summer. Maybe you’ll be traveling to Mt. Everest, as Goldman Sach’s managing director and senior client investment strategist Elizabeth Burton recently did.
