This week’s broadcast Eye on the trip is from the new Signia by Hilton, Atlanta Georgia World Congress Center. I’ve got all the updates on Boeing’s continued downfall – and now, a pilot surplus? So, Gary Leff, Founder of ViewfromtheWing.com, discusses a new program from United that will allow flyers to combine accounts and share miles without a transfer fee for those fares. Roderick Smith, the Atlanta fire chief, on how newer hotels have better fire codes and what travelers should know, and an ongoing problem: why fire codes are usually according to the building codes. And then a deep dive into what makes a new hotel: Anu Saxena, President and Global Head at Hilton Supply Management, discusses what’s really in your hotel room and what travelers really want. And Atlanta Journal Constitution Reporter Ernie Suggs, why everyone eats out in Atlanta (translation: the city has the most underutilized home kitchen in America). And, speaking of eating out, Christian Quinones, Executive Chef Signia by Hilton Atlanta, discusses his culinary background and how it helped him manage the eight different dining options at the Signia. There is all this and more on this week Eye on the trip.
