Our App allows guests to do so much pre- and post-travel.

A8: I'm pretty impressed with the advancements in #biometric screening; a few months ago, I boarded a @lufthansa flight to Frankfurt and boarded the plane not from a ticket, but a facial recognition scan. It felt super weird (but cool!) #TWChats

A8: First, flight. It made the world smaller and wars quicker. Then the internet. Which I’m not sure has actually made anything to do with travel better. Easier, yes, but better --- I can’t think of a single thing about travel it has improved. #TWchats

A8. I would say travel web sites has transformed travel the most as more and more people book vacations on their own rather than using an agent. #TWChats. https://t.co/yNfw3BNftJ
