The TRUTH about travel right now

This week, we kick things off in completely normal fashion… by debating whether “ahoy” should replace hello (it absolutely should).

Becky’s gearing up for her boxing match (and mentally preparing for at least one black eye), while Jake shares his brutally honest take on what’s actually happening in the travel industry right now… and why some of the headlines you’re seeing are, frankly, nonsense.

We get into:

✈️ The reality of bookings dropping and why agents everywhere are feeling it

📉 Why the industry needs to stop pretending everything’s fine

🔥 Why this could lead to a HUGE late booking surge

🌍 The real value of booking with a travel agent (with some very real examples)

Plus, there’s chaos as always:

🥂 A disappointing afternoon tea review

🎭 A full breakdown of The Traitors live experience (and why it will ruin friendships)

📺 Excitement for Race Across the World’s new series

🧠 A brutally unfair geography quiz that exposes Jake’s knowledge of Asia… or lack of it

🤖 Becky’s rant of the week: possibly the worst AI training platform ever created

And of course, we wrap things up with more nonsense, questionable life choices, and Becky revealing her boxing ring name…

If you’ve ever wondered what travel agents are really thinking right now – this one’s for you.
