Die Themen im heutigen Versicherungsfunk Update sind: Vertrauen in digitale Versicherungsabschlüsse wächst, persönliche Beratung bleibt wichtig Trotz hohem Vertrauen in digitale Kanäle bevorzugen viele Verbraucher beim Abschluss einer Versicherung weiterhin den persönlichen Kontakt. Laut einer neuen Deloitte-Umfrage halten zwar 65 Prozent Online-Abschlüsse für vertrauenswürdig, doch nur 48 Prozent würden etwa ihre Kfz-Police online abschließen, bei Lebensversicherungen sind es sogar nur 39 Prozent. Hinderungsgründe sind vor allem unklare Preisgestaltung, Angst vor falschen Angaben und der Wunsch nach Beratung. Deloitte sieht in einer besseren Verzahnung von Online- und Offline-Angeboten den Schlüssel zum Vertriebserfolg. Maklerrente: Diese fünf Fehler sollten Versicherungsmakler vermeiden Viele Versicherungsmakler befassen sich zu spät mit der Vorbereitung auf ihren Ruhestand – ein Risiko für die optimale Maklerrente. Ein Blogbeitrag von Sven Burkart zeigt die häufigsten Fehler: zu späte Planung, fehlende GDV-Daten, unstrukturierte Bestände, fehlender Hinterbliebenenschutz und unzureichende Regelungen zur künftigen Kundenbetreuung. Der Maklerpool WIFO bietet mit WIFIX eine Lösung, die frühzeitige Unterstützung und wachsende Maklerrenten ermöglicht. Pflegekosten: Frühzeitige Vorsorge schützt vor hohen Eigenanteilen Die Pflegekosten steigen weiter – doch bezahlbare Vorsorgelösungen sind möglich. Eine neue Studie der Rating-Agentur Assekurata im Auftrag des PKV-Verbands zeigt: Bereits ab 32 Euro monatlich lässt sich bei frühem Abschluss eine Pflegezusatzversicherung finden, die die Eigenanteile vollständig absichert. Die Untersuchung unterstreicht die Bedeutung kapitalgedeckter Vorsorge als stabile Lösung gegen das Demografie-Problem in der Pflege. US-Zölle sorgen für Turbulenzen bei Airlines und Tourismus Die jüngste Allianz Trade-Studie zeigt: Die neuen US-Zölle bremsen die Erholung der Tourismusbranche und Luftfahrtindustrie aus. Die Nachfrage nach Reisen in die USA sank deutlich – vor allem deutsche (-28 %) und spanische (-25 %) Touristen meiden aktuell die Vereinigten Staaten. Airlines verzeichnen eine sinkende Auslastung, doch sinkende Kerosinpreise stabilisieren die Margen. Während europäische Fluggesellschaften ein Umsatzplus von 10 % erwarten, leiden US-Airlines unter schwachem Wachstum. Steigende Flugzeugpreise könnten die Branche bis 2030 zusätzlich belasten. DVA und GDV starten neuen Zertifikatslehrgang zu Cyber- und digitalen Risiken Die Deutsche Versicherungsakademie (DVA) und der Gesamtverband der Deutschen Versicherungswirtschaft (GDV) bieten ab September 2025 den neuen Lehrgang „Risk and Insurance Manager Cyber & Digital Risk (DVA)“ an. Die modulare Weiterbildung richtet sich an Fach- und Führungskräfte der Branche und vermittelt Kompetenzen im Umgang mit Cyber- und digitalen Risiken. Der Lehrgang kombiniert Präsenz- und Onlineformate und endet mit einem anerkannten Zertifikat. Ziel ist es, Versicherungsunternehmen für aktuelle und künftige digitale Bedrohungen besser aufzustellen. Roland Schutzbrief steigert Beitragseinnahmen um 14,5 Prozent Roland Schutzbrief hat 2024 die Bruttobeitragseinnahmen um 14,5 Prozent auf 44,2 Millionen Euro gesteigert. Wachstumstreiber waren insbesondere der Fahrrad-Schutzbrief und strategische Kooperationen. Die Gesellschaft plant, das Produktangebot weiter auszubauen und neue Vertriebskanäle zu erschließen.

Our Hong Kong/China Transportation & Infrastructure Analyst Qianlei Fan explains why a resurgence in air travel is leading China's emergence from deflation.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Qianlei Fan, Morgan Stanley's Hong Kong/China Transportation Analyst. Chinese airlines are at a once-in-a-decade inflection point, and today I'll break down the elements of this turnaround story.It's Thursday, Feb 6th at 10am in Hong Kong.Last week, hundreds of millions of people across Asia gathered to celebrate the lunar new year with their families. I was one of them and took a flight back to my hometown Nanjing. Airports were jam-packed for days, with air travel expected to exceed 90 million trips.It's all indicative of Chinese airlines making a comeback after a seven-year run of underperformance. In fact, we believe Airlines will be one of the first industries to emerge from China's deflationary pressures this year. And this has implications for the country's broader economy.Although COVID impacted Airlines globally, other regions have since recovered. In China, the earnings recovery is just beginning. Since 2018, Chinese Airlines have experienced demand hits from the trade tension, currency depreciation, COVID-19, and post-COVID macro headwinds.It's been two years since Chinese borders lifted restrictions and air travelers are returning in force. Excess capacity has now been digested. Slower deliveries of aircrafts continue to limit supply, and it is more difficult for airlines to get new aircraft and increase their available seats. Passenger load factors will continue to strengthen this year, which means the airlines are running close to full capacity. This will increase Airlines' pricing power within the next 6 to 12 months, feeding through to earnings.If we put that in a global context, China's airlines industry handled around 700 million passengers in 2024, 8 per cent of global air passengers; but that 700 million passengers only account for half of China's population. In the US, air passenger numbers can be three times its population.Chinese airlines have just reached break-even in the past year, while many of their global peers have already generated robust profits. Chinese Airlines' earnings and valuations have lagged global peers in both absolute and relative terms. But now, with a turnaround coming into view, Chinese Airlines have a longer runway for stronger earnings growth and share price performance than global peers.What's more, the August 2024 turnaround in US airlines offers several key takeaways for China. US Airlines' share prices recovered last year, following a long period of underperformance post COVID. The wait before the inflection was long, but share prices moved up quickly once the turning point was reached, and valuation expanded ahead of earnings recovery. Big US airlines outperformed smaller players during the most recent rally. We think all these are relevant to the Chinese Airlines story.If we look at earnings – Chinese Big Three airlines reached breakeven in 2024, making a small profit in 2025, and that profit will double in 2026. But that's not yet the peak of the cycle; peak cycle earnings could again double the 2026 level, probably in 2027 to 2028. That's the reason why we think Chinese airlines are on the path to doubling share prices.To sum up, Chinese Airlines represent a once-in-a-decade opportunity for investors. With strengthened passenger load factors and a positive demand outlook, coupled with significant potential for earnings growth, this industry looks ready for takeoff.Thanks for listening.

After an up-and-down 2024 for the U.S. airlines industry, our Freight Transportation & Airlines Analyst Ravi Shanker explains why he is bullish about the sector's trajectory over the next year.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Ravi Shanker, Morgan Stanley's Freight Transportation and Airlines analyst. Today I'll discuss why we remain bullish on the US Airlines industry for 2025.It's Friday, December 13, at 10am in New York.The Airline industry entered 2024 with good momentum, lost it during the middle of the year with some concerns around the economy and capacity, but then turned it around in the fall to finish the year with the strongest run that the Airlines have had since the pandemic. The coast looks clear for 2025, and we remain bullish on the US Airlines for next year.While many airline stocks enter 2025 close to post-pandemic if not all-time highs, valuations are still attractive enough across the space to see upside across the industry. The big question right now is: will the focus on premium services continue to pay off, or will there be a resurgence in domestic travel that alters the market dynamics? We think the answer is both.Premium beneficiaries will continue to shine in 2025. We believe the premiumization trend in the industry is structural and will continue next year. Legacy carriers have successfully capitalized on this trend, enhancing their revenue streams significantly through upgraded service offerings such as premium seating and lounge access. This move isn't just about luxury—it's a calculated play to boost ancillary revenues, which are becoming a more critical component of financial stability in the airline industry. The premium leaders are building annuity-like business models – think razorblades, printers or smartphones – where the sale of a popular gateway product is followed by the bulk of the profitability coming from ancillary revenues generated in the following years, as loyalty and adjacent revenues contribute a steady stream of earnings and free cash flow to the airlines.On the flip side, the conversation around better margins on domestic travel is gaining momentum as well. 2024 saw a big shift where several domestic carriers made significant changes and even in some cases fundamentally overhauled their business models to fly less, fly differently, bundle fares, and move upmarket. This change brought significant disruption in 2024 but could be set to pay dividends in 2025 and reignite investor interest in these domestic names. This shift toward domestic travel could potentially redistribute market share and redefine competitive dynamics within the entire Airlines industry.To sum up, the setup for 2025 looks very good. But volatility could remain high due to external factors. The biggest risk into 2025 -- especially the second half of [20]25 -- continues to be the macro backdrop. More specifically, our economists' view of a sharply slowing GDP growth and services spending environment in the second half of [20]25 and into [20]26. While we take comfort from the resilience of travel spending so far, we know that things could change quickly. We will continue to keep you updated throughout the next year.Thanks for listening.

This Day in Legal History: Constitution of Norway SignedOn this day, May 17, in 1814, the Constitution of Norway was signed, marking a pivotal moment in the country's history. This significant event established Norway as an independent kingdom, following centuries of union with Denmark. The constitution was drafted at Eidsvoll by the Norwegian Constituent Assembly, composed of prominent figures who were determined to assert Norway's sovereignty and democratic principles.The document drew inspiration from both the United States Constitution and the French Revolution, emphasizing individual rights, separation of powers, and a parliamentary system. It remains one of the oldest constitutions still in use today, symbolizing Norway's commitment to democracy and freedom.The signing of the constitution laid the groundwork for Norway's future political development, even though it initially faced challenges. Shortly after its adoption, Norway entered into a union with Sweden, which lasted until 1905. Despite this, the constitution was largely preserved and served as a foundation for Norwegian governance during the union period.Today, May 17 is celebrated as Constitution Day, or "Syttende Mai," a national holiday in Norway. The day is marked by vibrant parades, patriotic displays, and public speeches, reflecting the pride Norwegians take in their constitutional heritage. It is a day for Norwegians to celebrate their history, culture, and the enduring values enshrined in their constitution.Constitution Day serves as a reminder of Norway's journey towards independence and the establishment of a democratic society. It honors the vision and determination of those who, over two centuries ago, laid the foundation for a free and sovereign nation. The celebrations highlight the enduring relevance of the principles set forth in 1814, which continue to guide and inspire Norway's democratic institutions today.On Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the funding mechanism for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), allowing it to continue drawing money from the Federal Reserve rather than Congress. This decision was a victory for the Biden administration and a setback for conservative critics of the agency. However, the Supreme Court's conservative majority still poses a threat to federal agency powers, with pending decisions that could limit their authority in various sectors. These upcoming rulings, expected by the end of June, involve significant cases concerning the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).The CFPB ruling, a 7-2 decision written by Justice Clarence Thomas, reversed a lower court's decision that the funding method violated the appropriations clause of the U.S. Constitution. Despite this win, the broader conservative push to reduce federal regulatory power continues, with legal scholars predicting further setbacks for agencies. The SEC faces challenges to its in-house judicial proceedings, while the NMFS case could lead to the reassessment of the "Chevron deference," a doctrine that directs courts to defer to federal agencies' interpretations of ambiguous laws.Additionally, the EPA's "Good Neighbor" plan, aimed at reducing ozone emissions, is under scrutiny by several Republican-led states and energy companies. These cases reflect ongoing conservative efforts to limit the scope of federal regulations and reshape administrative law.Despite consumer watchdog's US Supreme Court win, agency powers still on chopping blockAt Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York, his former attorney Michael Cohen testified that Trump directed him to pay Stormy Daniels $130,000 to silence her about an alleged affair before the 2016 election and then falsify business records to cover it up. While Trump's lawyers have tried to discredit Cohen, experts note that prosecutors have supported his testimony with phone logs, documents, and other witnesses. For instance, David Pecker, former publisher of the National Enquirer, testified about efforts to suppress damaging stories, and recordings and call logs showed frequent contact between Trump and Cohen during the negotiations. Despite substantial circumstantial evidence suggesting Trump's involvement, Cohen's claims about specific conversations remain uncorroborated, especially without testimony from Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization's former CFO, who could confirm or refute Cohen's statements but is not expected to testify. The defense will likely argue that Trump delegated detailed business matters and that there was nothing improper about categorizing payments as legal fees. Trump, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges, claims the case is a partisan attempt to disrupt his presidential campaign.Trump prosecutors' hard evidence bolsters Michael Cohen's testimony, experts sayTop lawyers for major U.S. airlines collectively earned almost $50 million in 2023, highlighting the industry's reliance on in-house legal expertise. United Airlines led with President Brett Hart receiving nearly $15 million, including substantial stock awards and cash compensation. Delta Air Lines' Chief Legal Officer Peter Carter earned over $13.1 million, reflecting his additional role and pandemic leadership.These compensation packages underscore the crucial role of legal teams in navigating regulatory, union, and consumer disputes. Airlines face numerous legal challenges, such as the recent lawsuit against the U.S. Transportation Department and passenger litigation over aircraft issues.American Airlines paid its Vice Chair Stephen Johnson more than $10.2 million, while legal chief Priya Aiyar received $7.8 million. Despite pandemic pay cuts, airlines now offer competitive salaries to retain top legal talent.Other industry legal leaders also received significant compensation, with FedEx's Mark Allen earning $5.4 million and JetBlue's Brandon Nelson $4.9 million. This trend reflects the high value airlines place on experienced legal professionals to manage complex legal and regulatory environments.US Airlines' $50 Million Lawyer Pay Shows Industry's Legal NeedsMicrosoft's upcoming appeal of a $242 million patent verdict is set to intensify debates about the role of foreign activities and apportionment in calculating damages. The verdict, awarded to IPA Technologies Inc., found that Microsoft's Cortana infringed on a patent related to its US-based servers. The jury decided that each time a user command was processed by these servers, it constituted infringement.The central issue in the appeal is how damages are apportioned, particularly regarding the extent of infringement and the inclusion of non-infringing features. Legal experts anticipate that Microsoft will challenge the damages calculation, arguing that the verdict oversimplifies the product's functionality and inflates the damages.A significant aspect of the debate involves the Federal Circuit's recent decision in Brumfield v. IBG LLC, which allows for the consideration of foreign sales when calculating damages if they result from domestic infringement. This precedent was used to support the current ruling against Microsoft.Judge Richard G. Andrews ruled that the damages theory used by IPA was appropriately apportioned, considering both infringing and non-infringing elements of Cortana. However, the complexity of apportionment and the challenge of accurately valuing the patented technology's contribution to the overall product make this a contentious area likely to be scrutinized on appeal.Legal experts believe that while Microsoft will argue that the calculation was flawed, the detailed economic and technical analyses required in such cases will be pivotal. The Federal Circuit's history of closely reviewing these aspects suggests a rigorous examination ahead.Microsoft Mega-Verdict Appeal Primed to Test Patent-Damages LawThis week's closing theme is by Maurice Ravel. Maurice Ravel, a prominent figure in the world of classical music, was born in 1875 in the Basque town of Ciboure, France. Renowned for his intricate compositions and masterful orchestration, Ravel's work spans a variety of genres, each infused with his distinctive style. One of his remarkable contributions to the realm of classical music is the "Rapsodie espagnole," a four-movement orchestral suite that showcases his fascination with Spanish culture and music.Among Ravel's diverse compositions, "L'heure espagnole," a one-act opera, stands out for its vibrant portrayal of a comedic love story set in a Spanish clockmaker's shop. Premiering in 1911 at the Opéra-Comique in Paris, this opera exemplifies Ravel's ability to blend humor with musical sophistication. The fourth movement of "Rapsodie espagnole," titled "Feria assez animé," embodies the spirited essence of a Spanish festival, capturing the lively and festive atmosphere through its dynamic rhythms and vivid orchestration."Feria assez animé" transports listeners to the heart of a bustling Spanish feria, where the excitement of the crowd and the exuberance of the celebration are palpable. Ravel's meticulous attention to detail and his exceptional skill in orchestration are evident in this piece, making it a delightful auditory experience. As we delve into this week's closing theme, we invite you to immerse yourself in the colorful and animated world that Ravel so brilliantly brings to life.Without further ado, "L'heure espagnole" by Maurice Ravel, enjoy.

Our research shows travelers are willing to spend more this summer than last. U.S. Thematic Strategist Michelle Weaver explains how this will impact the airline, cruise and lodging industries. ----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Michelle Weaver, Morgan Stanley's US Thematic Strategist. Along with my colleagues bringing you a variety of perspectives, today I'll talk about the summer travel trends we're expecting to see this year. It's Thursday, May 16th at 10am in New York. With Memorial Day just around the corner, most of us are getting really excited about our summer vacation plans. We recently ran a survey, and our work shows that nearly 60 percent of US consumers are planning to travel this summer. This figure though skews significantly higher for upper income consumers. 75 percent of consumers making $75,000 to $150,000 are planning to travel and this figure rises to 78 percent for those who make more than $150,000. And travel remains a key spending priority for higher-income consumers. They place travel as one of their top priorities when compared to other discretionary purchases. This picture reverses though when you look at lower-income consumers making less than $50,000 a year. Travel tends to be among their lowest priorities when they are thinking about their discretionary purchases.What really matters for companies though is if consumers are going to spend more this year than they did last year. And consumers who are planning a vacation are inclined to spend more this year, with 49 percent expecting to spend more and 16 percent intending to spend less. So that yields a net plus-32 percent increase in spending intentions for summer travel.And what does this mean for key players in the travel industry? For starters, let's look at airlines, where demand no longer seems to be a market debate within the space. It's remained very resilient so far in 2024, contrary to what many had feared when we were going into this year. Our Transportation Analyst also has a positive view of US Airlines, especially Premium carriers. And the reason: This category caters to high-end consumers who are more likely to fly regardless of the state of the economy. Since the pandemic, Premium air travel has been one of the fastest growing and likely most resilient parts of the US Airlines industry, with premium cabin outperforming the main cabin consistently. And then what's in store for cruise companies this summer? The outlook seems to be broadly positive, according to our analysts. The largest cruise operators source the majority of their guests from the US. And these companies provide leisure travel – as opposed to business travel – almost exclusively, so their revenues are closely tied to the health of the US consumer. Of the 60 percent of consumers who are planning to travel this summer, 6 percent are planning a cruise. That's a little bit lower than pre-COVID, but cruise passengers tend to skew older and more affluent. So, they take more than one vacation frequently. This keeps the outlook broadly supportive for cruise companies. Finally, let's think about Gaming and Lodging. These are your hotels and casinos. Investor sentiment is generally cautious for this space, but our analyst believes the data is encouraging. Yes, there's been a slowdown in demand, compounded by continued – but moderating – labor inflation. This has created margin pressure for companies with higher operating leverage but the data suggests that upscale and luxury operators are outpacing midscale and economy ones. In addition, the Las Vegas strip, which tends to skew higher end, has outpaced regional casinos. And even when you look within the Las Vegas strip, baccarat is outpacing slot demand and luxury properties are outpacing more affordable options.So, all in all, the summer looks bright for travel operators, especially those who have more exposure to the high-end consumer. Thank you for listening. If you enjoy the show, please leave us a review wherever you listen and share Thoughts on the Market with a friend or colleague today.

There was a high level of tetchiness between Ireland and the US when it came to transatlantic aviation in the 1960s (By Michael Kennedy, Royal Irish Academy)

We Assess the Current State of the Six Largest US Airlines...on today's Milenomics² (No Annual Fee Edition) Podcast 0:24 Premise of the Discussion Everyone's situation is different. Different hometown airport(s), different common destinations, different enthusiasm for taking on points & miles complexity to defray airfare costs, etc. That being the case, there's are no one-size-fits-all solutions in this game That said, there are tendencies and trends that are worth being familiar with as it's useful in informing moves you might make to prepare for future travel In this spirit, we think it's a good time to take a look at the biggest domestic carriers. We'll analyze them both for using their miles to fly their metal, the overall state of their frequent flyer program, their co-branded credit cards, their bank point relationships, how difficult they are to earn, and their overall position in the market. 04:21 American Could be the last remaining legacy carrier where close-in you can still find saver level awards for expensive cash fares, will have to see how this plays out with a supposed move to “fully dynamic” British Airways Avios (and other OneWorld partner awards) can still be a good play, but AA doesn't seem to release much partner award space A good program to generate miles in, but if their utility becomes mostly for partner awards it significantly diminishes the value proposition for me With no bank point transfer partners, it can be tough to generate AA miles. Bilt transfers are possible. Unique in that they partner with both Citi and Barclays, though churnability has become difficult Bottom Line: Still a lot of great partners, favorable partner award charts, and flexible change and cancellation terms. The value proposition with AA increasingly hinges on partner awards. 14:15 Delta Booking with Delta miles provides decent everyday value with flexible cancellation terms. Not a lot of clever angles here when cash prices are high. Issues with cancellations not actually happening. Need to follow up. Wide variety of co-branded Amex cards with probably the best churnability of any carrier due to targeted offers and lenient approval standards 15% discount on award travel if holding one of their Amex Delta cards. 1:1 transfer partner from Membership Rewards which have been one of the easier bank point currencies to generate the past 5 years Booking with 35% Amex Business Platinum rebate even more valuable than transferring (but beware Amex Travel hassles and harder to cancel) SkyClub membership for everyone who carries an Amex Platinum card is a nice perk when flying, though because of this they can be crowded Bottom Line: Weak SkyTeam alliance and expensive international awards make Delta a straightforward value proposition for domestic flights. 23:54 Southwest A wide variety of fun (if complicated) instruments for booking flights. Fun? I think that when things are going well they can be more 'fun' than other airlines to fly with. “Too good to be true” Companion Pass is perhaps the longest running and evidently effective campaigns in the space. In general, connections with Southwest stress their system and make for longer travel than necessary with other carriers Not low cost. Low fee. Antique seating policy makes for trouble for families with children older than their cutoff of 6. 1:1 transfer partner from Chase Ultimate Rewards Wide variety of Chase co-branded cards (but 5/24 constraints can be limiting) Bottom Line: A carrier worth paying attention to if your hometown airport is dominated by Southwest, a carrier rarely flown otherwise 30:15 United Not a lot of angles for booking flights on United metal with United miles. Award chart for domestic flights seems truly dynamic - tied fully to cash price. Don't see a lot saver level space release here either, so angles like booking with Star Alliance carriers are rare Travel Bank has favorable terms, making it one to consider for Amex incidentals. Flexible booking and cancellations with most fares. Bonus points for clearly labeling refundable fares vs. cancellable fares. Bonus points removed for not refunding without tons of interaction. 1:1 transfer partner from Chase Ultimate Rewards Typical assortment of co-branded Chase cards, but 5/24 can be limiting Bottom Line: Star Alliance tie-in (mostly for awards to Europe) keep me interested in earning United miles, but the partner chart has become a bit pricey 39:01 Alaska Award chart domestically for flying Alaska metal with Alaska miles rarely provides outsized value. Welcome bonuses of co-branded credit cards issued by Bank of America (personal and business) have become increasingly generous Still some good values to be had with premium partner awards No 1:1 bank point transfer partner “World Famous” companion pass requires spending more to get more value out of it, and not even half off at the end of the day Bottom Line: Unless you live near an airport well-served by Alaska, it's an airline that's still mostly one to accrue miles rather than fly. But with partner awards no longer offering differentiated value it could be an airline worth mostly ignoring. 47:18 JetBlue Usually just book with bank points or travel bank Has been a good candidate for use of Amex incidentals, but tone deaf tightened expiry of travel bank is industry worst. Partners come and go (Emirates/Etihad for example) and redemptions are so quirky it's as if they don't even know they exist Some opportunities with alliance with AA Nice that they allow family pooling of points, but they haven't yet figured out how to configure a valuable loyalty program Mint is their single trick. Partner awards on Hawiian (need T, Z, or L fare bucket space) Co-branded cards issued by Barclays Quirky 250:200 Amex Membership Rewards transfer ratio Bottom Line: An airline to ignore if they don't serve your airport. An airline that can't be ignored if you live in Boston or near JFK 54:13 Bottom Line Discuss: How can we be rational? Are airline miles dead? Have airlines gone too far in diminishing their outsized value to the point where bank points are better? What's your overall takeaway for yourself, and for family and friends looking for advice?

It is fair to say the mask mandate is a Trump victory. Which is just an extra reason that the left is enraged. GUEST: Jenin Younes

Many passengers on flights in the US have breathed a deep sigh of relief - without a mask - after mandates on public transport were dropped. The dismissal comes after a federal judge in Florida struck down the 14-month-old directive from the Biden administration. Major airlines, including American Airlines, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines, relaxed restrictions soon after the ruling. New York correspondent Sarah Walton spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Verizon and AT&T have largely rolled out their 5G platform across the United States.  While they have made some accommodations for the nation's airlines near busy airports, the FAA and the FCC are working with both the airlines and the telecommunications industries to determine if there are any ill effects as a result of the roll out on airport operations and airliners themselves.  We bring you up to date with the facts. 

Michelle Martin and Ryan Huang explain why investors are cheering news from Beijing and whether the surge in the Hang Seng Index could drop again. Next, a discussion on the US Federal Reserve's first interest rate hike since 2018 and if Russia indeed defaulted on its debt, plus stock watching Starbucks, US airlines, PropertyGuru, AEI Corp and Evergreen making headlines a year after the Suez Canal blockage.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's episode, Chinmay explains the massive IPO everybody is looking forward to in India - LIC. The episode also discusses how it's been a rough week for America’s airlines, having to deal with a havoc and disruption of operations; thanks to the probable risk caused by deployment of 5G towers near the airports.

America's largest airlines have issued a dire warning over the imminent rollout of new 5G technology, saying it could cause catastrophic disruptions to the industry.

Airlines say they are experiencing Covid-related staffing shortages over the busy Christmas period.

Laurent Magnin, CEO of France based XL Airways is the ultimate aviation enthusiast. His goal is to make us love flying again, so we asked him how he managed to get XL to be the top tourist airline for French Tour Operators under his stewardship. We learn all about he's making flying magical again. But first, Glenn has a lot of complaining to do about how US airlines treat loyal customers, and why they're breaking financial records even as customers loathe them.  Visit our sponsor: Kevin Barry Fine Art Hear how Kevin Barry Fine Art is Reinventing Hotel Art for an Interactive and Social Generation Visit our sponsor: Bartech Hear how Bartech is Debunking Major Minibar Myths Subscribe on iTunes: No Vacancy with Glenn Haussman Subscribe on Android: https://play.google.com/music/listen#/ps/Ifu34iwhrh7fishlnhiuyv7xlsm Send your comments and questions to Glenn@rouse.media.  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/novacancy Follow Glenn @TravelingGlenn Learn more at http://novacancy.libsyn.com Produced by Jeff Polly: http://www.endpointmultimedia.com/­
