Eye on Travel — Pier 39 — April 19, 2025


This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel is from Pier 39 in San Francisco. I have all the travel updates, including the ongoing investigation into the fatal helicopter accident in New York, the latest in the trade and tariff wars, and how it’s directly affecting your travels. Clint Henderson, Managing Editor of The Points Guy, on how to strategize redeeming your mileage as airline capacity is on a rollercoaster. Patrick Smith, Founder of AskthePilot.com, on what appears to be an increasing number of airplane accidents, and what the numbers really mean. And then President and CEO of Pier 39 Scott Gentner looks at the development and evolution of one of the major tourist sites of San Francisco. And it’s not just the major restaurants but with a few small surprises (can you say Biscoff?), not to mention the 1,400 resident seals, with harbormaster Sheila Chandor. There’s all this and more on this week’s Eye on Travel.
