About this episode

Airline Consumer Protections Are Shrinking & Hidden Costs of Caregiving With the holiday travel season just around the corner, big changes are underway that could impact your upcoming trips. The Department of Transportation is re-interpreting consumer protections for air passengers. Since airlines won’t be eager to step up when they make a mistake, you need to know how to advocate for yourself, and navigate airline customer service. Also, another urgent conversation families need to have involves the hidden financial costs of caregiving. Nearly 70% of people will require some level of care in their lifetime. With the erosion of long-term care insurance, more families are impacted by caregiving challenges, forcing 56% of caregiving retirees to leave the workforce earlier than planned.
