On this week’s Good Morning Hospitality, A Skift Podcast, Hotels Edition, Sarah Dandashy and Steve Turk break down how AI is quickly becoming a bigger part of hotel strategy, from Hilton’s new AI travel planner to analysts predicting that years of hotel tech investments could finally start delivering real earnings gains.

They also examine how rising oil prices could push airline fares higher and how government shutdown pressures are already creating TSA staffing shortages and longer airport security lines across the U.S.

Finally, in the Unhinged Story of the Week, an SAS flight bound for Málaga turns around mid-air after a mouse is spotted onboard, proving even the smallest stowaway can derail a flight.
