The Airline Deregulation Act completely changed almost every aspect of how the airline industry worked, and opened up the possibility for air travel to more than just the most wealthy Americans by drastically reducing the cost of a plane ticket. 

Brian and Kaleena discuss the evolution of air travel leading up to the passage of the bill, as well as the affects, positive and negative, that the changes had on all aspects of travel.

Travel is in a weird place. What better time to look back to see how we got here—and where we might go?

Each episode, travel industry veterans Brian and Kaleena discuss the big and small moments in travel history that led us to where we are today. Some moments completely rewrote the rules—like the invention of jumbo jets. But we’ll also discuss moments that reflect ongoing trends in travel, like how Disney changed Orlando.

In our discussions, we’ll explore how these examples might inform our current state of travel, and the challenges ahead. We’ll talk about everything—domestic politics, electronic music, international relations, new inventions, natural disasters, religious pilgrimages, race, all of it. It’s been a long road.

Travel (as we know it) could soon change in a huge way—and it probably should. Our goal is to create a dialogue about the future of travel, and what better way to do that than to look first to the past?
