Q3: What travel initiative (eg e-ticketing, self check-in) did you first hate but now love? #TWchats via @awtravelweekly

A3: Honestly, probably @Uber . It took me awhile to feel safe getting into a random stranger's car. But now, I never take taxis. #TWChats
TravelAgeWest
A3: In-flight Wi-Fi (we still have a love-hate relationship with that one!); mobile boarding passes; and key-less hotel room entry (isn't there something a little unnerving about unlocking a room with a smartphone...?) #TWChats

A3 I'm sure I'm not alone in loathing the added time that tightened travel security adds to our airport time, but I weirdly have grown to love the challenge of packing light and smart to move thru the security line like a ninja #TWchats via @awtravelweekly

A3: We’d have to say e-ticketing because at first, it was a hassle to have to zoom in to scan the barcode, but we now love how it reduces our carbon footprint. #GoGreen #TWChats

A3: None. I hate thoughtfully, and presciently. And I am not wrong. I will always rage against the lifeless machine, the devaluation of humanity. Soon we’ll have to fly the damn planes ourselves. #TWchats

A3: @awtravelweekly At first glance, self check-in seemed like it might be a daunting task, but guests quickly came to understand and appreciate its ease and efficiency. #TWChats

A3: Not sure if we’ve ever hated them, but we’ll have to go with TSA pre-check for domestic flights & Global Entry for international flights

A3: @awtravelweekly, for many the concept of anytime dining on a #cruise was daunting, changing the tradition of set meal times and tables. But now, open seating is more and more popular to fit into a flexible schedule! #TWChats

A3: At first glance CLEAR looks just like having a flight status, TSA pre-check, or Global Entry, but we definitely notice a time-saving difference in our travels! It’s especially handy for business travelers. Don’t need to worry about running to catch your flight! #twchats

replying to @meeshull @meeshull @awtravelweekly A3: I hated having to remember to check in the night before but now I set a google calendar invite and it's glorious! #twchats

A3: The enhanced security measures taken during the check in process! But now, I fully appreciate and understand the importance — our guest’s safety are our first priority! #TWchats via @awtravelweekly

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews @awtravelweekly A3: E-ticketing was a tough transition for our agents - originally you had to have a specific format, and if you missed a letter, you'd have to start all over again - which was a tedious process! Now it's the easiest thing in the world for us! #tzelltravels #twchats @Twtravelnews

A3 I thought that self check in and the lack of paper documents would be an issue but most clients have adapted to it. #TWChats

replying to @TWtravelnews @TWtravelnews @awtravelweekly A3: Apps on ship instead of paper schedules. So much easier to look it up rather than carry around paper. #TWChats
