Why thank ya! Now, it's almost impossible to get status on any airline. 🙄 #TWChats https://t.co/CZM1Mhgp8k

Q3: What travel initiative (eg e-ticketing, self check-in) did you first hate but now love? #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: AmaWaterways has created the #myAmaCruise app that allows guests to access information about on-shore excursions & ports right from their devices! It takes the guesswork out of traveling and puts exciting information right at their fingertips! #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


Remembering the amazing views on the flight to #Cabo to stay at @HotelElGanzo #TWchats https://t.co/N4Z1qBHfBn

A1: There's nothing like your first sailing. 50 years since ours, we're still pushing the limits by defying expectations and building some of the most innovative firsts to keep you coming back for more. #TWchats https://t.co/taQjIqODuw https://t.co/D5RllCMUCV

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

@TWtravelnews “In 1994, ATA partnered with tour operator Pleasant Hawaiian Holidays, which was the largest tour operator flying to Hawaii. “

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

RT @AKTravel_USA: @TzellTravel @TWtravelnews @kwtravel_ @qatarairways That's definitely a moment to remember. #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

replying to @mtsobek @mtsobek @TWtravelnews @awtravelweekly Yes! @TSA #preCheck is a life-saver! #TWChats

A3: We weren't a fan of being upsold as an agent during the booking process, but we love it now because agents make more money! #Twchats #TravelAdvisor #bookingprocess @awtravelweekly

Our hotels reporter Christina Jelski has checked in. Here's one of her reports https://t.co/UYDglqjFWB #TWchats https://t.co/tNcbthtdW1

replying to @TravelAgeWest @TravelAgeWest @awtravelweekly A3: Our guests love our mobile Collette Compass app which is a new and innovative way to access flight info, travel docs and itineraries all in one organized place. #twchats

replying to @VWT_Travel @VWT_Travel Good tip! Many travelers don't know the difference. #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

Next @TravelAgeWest story: children with preferred status on airlines and their favorite juice box flavor for a long flight #TWchats https://t.co/KGS9CGQJKE

I remember calling the airline to reconfirm. Phones. phones? what dat? #TWchats https://t.co/qVLJPYk4eQ

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 @AmeliaSugerman @AmeliaSugerman So true. I have a friend who flew from Cleveland to Seoul and back (only spending a few hours there) just to keep his Delta status. Crazy! #TWChats

A2: TBH our first cruising experience stands out a lot more. Our first ship, the Song of Norway, was built in 1970 and revolutionized cruising with its grand sailings to the Caribbean. #TWchats https://t.co/nDnMMWn2jF

"fly the damn planes ourselves" Did Bob Guccione Jr. just predict the future of #experiential #travel? #TWchats https://t.co/Jy3HJAax28
