Catching Flights, Paying More: What NYC Taught Me About the Supply Chain of Travel

Welcome back! I am so excited to be back! Every time I visit New York, it feels like a new story but this last trip hit different. What started as a fun getaway turned into a crash course on how the travel industry really works. 😅 I’ve been to NYC for projects, weddings, and quick visits, but this time, planning the trip opened my eyes to something I never paid attention to before and that is “the supply chain of travel” From flights to hotels, every piece of your trip depends on someone else’s timing, system, and price strategy. I’m breaking down what that looks like, why hotel prices spike even after summer, and how airlines play a totally different pricing game. So grab your coffee, and let’s talk about it — Catching Flights, Paying More: What New York Taught Me About the Supply Chain of Travel. ✈️☕ #TheSupplyChainCafe #TravelIndustry #NYC #Podcast #FlightsAndHotels #SupplyChain
