Speak Confidently in 3 Weeks

Q&A Time:

Last week we asked, should first class be child free? Here’s what y’all think:

At least one of you always brings the tea with their response...

• “If people are paying crazy money to fly first class, they should not have to deal with that.”

• “First class is for peaceful and relaxing travel.”

• “…but if their daddy is oozing cute realness then we will share the cabin”

This week: A new study found that travelers are looking at hundreds of websites before booking a trip, and Americans in particular are opening up to 277 tabs while planning their vacations (I thought it was just me 😅).

So we want to know: how many tabs do you open before booking a trip?
