Summer is in full swing, and that means many Americans are taking long-awaited vacations. While the joys of exploring new places or visiting family and friends are numerous, the chaos that comes with summer travel –such as  flight delays, disappointing Airbnbs and turbulence – can be enough to make us all want to stay home.

Host Martine Powers speaks with Post travel reporter Natalie Compton about how to survive the mayhem of summer travel.

Today’s show was produced by Sabby Robinson. It was edited by Ariel Plotnick and mixed by Sean Carter.
