Please fasten your seatbelts and place your seat backs and tray tables in an upright position, because we’re ready to take off and talk all things air on Trade Secrets.
This week, hosts Emma Weissmann and Jamie Biesiada delve into a plethora of questions: Should travel advisors sell air? Is it a value add for clients? Is selling air a must for luxury-focused advisors? Should you bundle air with other supplier offerings?
Hear all that and more, with special guests Nadia Henry (founder of Travel With Sparkle) and Robbi Jumaa Hamida, senior vice president of agency operations for Nexion Travel Group.
