How the Ukraine crisis is changing travel in 2022

In this episode of the Folo podcast, we look back on our coverage of last week and inform listeners of moves that travel companies have made in response to the Russian invasion. Tour companies have canceled current and future trips to the region. Several cruise lines have canceled and rerouted ships. Many countries, the U.S. included, have closed their airspace to Russian traffic, and Russia has closed its airspace to some foreign carriers. Tours and river cruise editor Nicole Edenedo and retail editor Jamie Biesiada join to discuss cancellations and whether travelers are getting jittery about travel beyond affected areas. And at the end, we speak with editor in chief Arnie Weissmann about his impressions of travel to Ukraine in 2016. This episode was recorded Friday, March. 4 and has been edited for length and clarity.
