Always Ask What’s Included in Your Hotel Rate
Always Ask What’s Included in Your Hotel Rate
Remember traveling 20 years ago? In 2000, there were no Uber or AirBnB, so you could be lumbered with a rickety old taxi or an overpriced fleapit on a far-flung vacation. Then again, it wasn’t all bad: The last chance to squeeze a loved one goodbye before boarding a flight was right at the gate, moments before boarding. So what will travel look like two decades from now? Mark and Nikki explore the findings of a new survey from Allianz Partners outlining how the landscape might change—and get out their own frequent-flying crystal ball to share a few predictions of their own.
This week’s Travel Genius is Moti Ankari. We think he’s one of the smartest yet—though we would say that, wouldn’t we? Moti is a former Pursuits colleague who stepped back from journalism to co-found the dapper shoe line Ankari Floruss. Now, he juggles his schedule as a full-time cobbler with a second role as one of the foremost menswear influencers on social media. (You might be one of the 190,000-plus folks who follow him on Instagram @motiankari.) Moti travels relentlessly for both gigs and is the ideal guide to help everyone stay stylish, even after a 12-hour flight in economy. He shares everything from the unlikely gadget any hotel can install in your room to keep clothes fresh and wrinkle-free to the best outlet mall to find discounted designer threads. All that, plus some bonus tips on how to make every Insta post from your trip irresistibly attention-grabbing.
But we don’t just want his tips. We want yours. Call the Travel Genius hotline at 646 324 3490 anytime, and leave us a voicemail; we’ll play the best on upcoming episodes. Otherwise, hit Nikki and Mark up on Twitter or Instagram with your hacks and ideas.
