Hi everybody!We've got another great episode here with Chris Elliott, travel industry columnist, author, and consumer advocate. As you may know, Chris is a Looking Forward "alum," having appeared on this podcast more than 2 years ago.On this episode, Chris speaks about some of the many trends he's witnessed over the past two years in the travel industry. This includes how COVID has affected hotels, airlines, cruise ships, car rentals, and other forms of lodging (e.g., Airbnb and VRBO). As you'll learn, things are somewhat different between how some travel-related businesses in the U.S. have handled COVID vs. others outside of the U.S.Chris also mentions some of the new companies and services that have emerged in the industry, especially those offering tech-related solutions. Lots of entrepreneurship going on! You'll definitely want to hear about the two start-up companies he mentions. Of course, no Looking Forward episode would be the same without my guest expert discussing the opportunities that exist now and will emerge in the future vis-à-vis their area of expertise. Chris certainly offers plenty of those, along with some wise suggestions for how you might find a job, a career, a business, or an investment opportunity in the travel industry.Oh, two other things Chris tells us that you just have to hear: One is two countries he thinks are beautiful and just waiting to be discovered by more of us. The other is where you can get some free information and assistance with your unresolved consumer problems using his super-helpful Elliott Advocacy service. (See below.) Hey, I've used it myself! Now a little more about Chris. Christopher Elliott is an author, journalist and consumer advocate. He founded Elliott Advocacy, a nonprofit organization that helps solve consumer problems. He publishes Elliott Confidential, a travel newsletter, and the Elliott Report, a daily blog about customer service.

Consumer advocate Christopher Elliott joins the podcast to talk about how to protect yourself and your customers from common travel problems.

Post-pandemic travel poses unique challenges. Prices for vacation and car rentals have soared. Flights have been delayed and canceled as airlines have struggled with demand. And cruises started leaving port again after more than a year off the water. In this new travel landscape, I thought it would be a good idea to talk to an expert about consumer rights and expectations as the industry warms up again. So, today I'm talking to Christopher Elliott – founder and chief advocacy officer of Elliott Advocacy, a consumer rights organization that empowers consumers to solve their problems and help those who can't, as well as the author of numerous travel books (including How to be the World's Smartest Traveler and Save Time, Money and Hassle, and Scammed: How to Save Your Money and Find Better Service in a World of Schemes, Swindles, and Shady Deals). Christopher also writes numerous regular columns for outlets such as Washington Post, Seattle Times, USA Today, National Geographic, and Forbes. He is also a contributor to NPR, Smithsonian, and Travel and Leisure. And, because he's not busy enough, he also publishes the Elliott Report, which is a news site for consumers, and Elliott Confidential, a subscription newsletter that contains travel news and customer service. In this conversation, we talk about the challenges consumers face, and the rights consumers enjoy, related to flights, vacation rentals, cruises, car rentals, and travel insurance. Things like:When and how to get your money back for a delayed or canceled flightWarning words to look for in vacation rental ads.How to find the location of a vacation rental even when you don't have the addressWhen you can get a refund from Airbnb or VRBOIf cruises are safeIf you should get travel insuranceHow to avoid surprise post-facto car rental chargesAnd, the best approach to take when appealing for a refund or an apologyMentioned:  Hichee.com The VergeRecommended: Elliott Advocacy-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:InstagramTribelYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com **Artwork: Dovi Design **Music: Joystock

In the Travel News: COVID and travel are making a comeback at the same time. Can tourism prevail? Or are we destined to go back into hiding? We have a breakdown. Southwest Airlines offers an apology for a string of incidents which have left many people short of their destination in the past few weeks, and an airport piano player in Atlanta is the subject of a feel-good story. Our Smarter Traveler segment features a Letter to the Editor from Christopher Elliott's web site, gently suggesting why it's important to get the vaccination for COVID. Hilton Hotels is ending daily housekeeping at most brands. Do you care? Is it a plus or a minus not getting your room cleaned daily? The move is sure to save hotels a chunk of money. Wonder if that will trickle down to consumers. Lots of fun things to do in Mendocino County this summer and fall. We have a guest with a rundown of events, just in case you might want to check one or two out

With the COVID shutting things down, rental car companies had massive fleets to deal with - fleets that were sitting still and costing money.  Many did the best they could in reducing the size of their fleets, which seemed like a good short term strategy.  Then things started opening up, people began to move about and rental vehicles were back in demand.  Problem is that when the rental agencies try to rebuild the fleet, there is a chip shortage causing a vehicle shortage!  What to do now?Christopher Elliott, a Washington Post columnist and consumer advocate has been following this story and we had the opportunity to talk with him on this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk.In our feature segment, we have this edition of 'This Week In Auto History'.-----  -----  -----Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcast provider for the next episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk six days a week, and check out our live broadcast every Saturday, 8a-11aCT simulcasting on YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and InWheelTime.com.In Wheel Time Car Talk can be heard on you mobile device from providers such as:Apple Podcasts,   Pandora Podcast, Amazon Music Podcast, Spotify,   Google Podcasts,     Stitcher,   iHeart Radio podcast,   TuneIn + Alexa,   Podcast Addict,   Castro,   Castbox and more on your mobile device.-----  ------  ------Want more In Wheel Time in real time?

https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherelliott/ (Christopher Elliott) is an award-winning consumer advocate, multimedia journalist, and customer service expert. He is known for his practical advice and creative solutions to customer-service problems. He’s the author ofhttps://www.amazon.com/Scammed-Better-Service-Schemes-Swindles/dp/1118108000 ( Scammed: How to Save Your Money and Find Better Service in a World of Schemes, Swindles, and Shady Deals) andhttps://www.amazon.com/Worlds-Smartest-Traveler-Money-Hassle/dp/1426212739 ( How to Be the World’s Smartest Traveler (and Save Time, Money, and Hassle)). Christopher is a nationally syndicated columnist through King Features Syndicate, which distributes his work to publications from the Seattle Times to the Miami Herald. He writes a weekly column for The Washington Post and USA Today and is the founder ofhttps://www.elliott.org/ ( Elliott Advocacy), a consumer advocacy organization.   “If you are not going to be in one place for more than five years, do not buy a house, just rent.” Christopher Elliott   Worst investment everChristopher bought his first house in 2001 after resisting the homeowner bug for so long. But he found a great place in the Florida Keys, and he loved being there. And at $175,000, the price was just right. This was before the big housing boom. A few weeks after moving into the new house, Christopher’s partner got pregnant as luck would have it. Now the two-bedroom home was not going to cut it for long. Selling in a booming marketBy the time Christopher’s son was a year and a half, they started getting very serious about selling. At the time, the housing market had exploded. He did a couple of renovations on the house and ended up selling it for $350,000. Buying another home when he really should have rentedChristopher took all the money he made from selling his house and moved to Central Florida. Here he paid $235,000 cash for his new home. The house needed a little tender loving care, but Christopher did not mind; he still had some money left. So he renovated the house. Being a nomad, he started getting restless and thought maybe they should sell the house and move into something a little bit bigger in a different area. And just as they were having that discussion, the bottom fell out of the housing market. They ended up staying in the house for about 12 years because they could not get a reasonable price for it. Finally selling the houseEventually, Christopher could no longer stay in the house, so he decided to sell it for the best price possible. Selling the home was a massive undertaking for Christopher. He got several buyers that came in and fell through. Others kept renegotiating the price down. They finally settled for $285,000. Once the real estate agent took her cut and adding the money he had put into the house for renovations, he ended up losing a significant amount of money on that house. Christopher made a resolve never to buy a home as an investment again. Lessons learnedDo not listen to conventional wisdom when buying a houseStop assuming that what everyone says about owning a home is the best investment you can make, to be true. It is never a guarantee that you won’t lose money from buying a home. The American dream of being a homeowner is overrated. Andrew’s takeawaysA house is not always an investmentIt is never a guarantee that you will always be able to buy low and sell high when dealing with real estate. Be careful when listening to marketing messagesMarketing messages are intended to hook you in. It is not always that you will gain from what is being sold. Remember that whoever is putting out that marketing message is looking to gain and not necessarily help you. You do not have to get into debt just because loans are availableSeriously contemplate your options before you get sucked into a mortgage just because there are facilities that can offer you the loan. Be sure that this is a debt that you can...
