Welcome to The BTA Podcast. In these podcasts we will endeavour to share our thoughts, concerns, optimism and build those all-important human connections with our Partners, Members and Guests.

Episode Overview:

Clive & Andrew dig into a busy few weeks for the Business Travel Association, starting with the APPG's visitor levy report and the BTA's pushback that business travel isn't a discretionary spend, alongside continued calls for a flat fixed fee and a consistent national framework. With the Budget submission window now open, Clive outlines the three priorities on the table: hotel levy, APD and rail investment.

Elsewhere, a working group on ADMs is delivery real progress between airlines and TMCs, with content parity talks following next week. There's also fresh momentum on the APJC front with IATA and the new rail working group forming around European rail and Eurotunnel expansion.

Looking ahead, the accessibility working party joins the Mobility Conference on 15 September at the London Transport Museum, tackling wheelchair-accessible vehicle supply and the shift to EVs.

In this episode of The BTA Pulse, hosts Clive Wratten and Andrew Clark cover a hot couple of weeks for the Business Travel Association, in more ways than one.

Clive's been all over the airwaves discussing Heathrow drop-off charges, following RAC research into rising costs for the travelling public, while Andrew unpacks Edinburgh's new 5% hotel levy and what a similar set-fee model could mean for English cities.

Welcome to The BTA Podcast. In these podcasts we will endeavour to share our thoughts, concerns, optimism and build those all-important human connections with our Partners, Members and Guests.

Episode Overview:

In this episode of The BTA Pulse, hosts Clive Wratten and Andrew Clarke bring you the latest from the Business Travel Association — because summer or not, business travel cracks on.

Top of the agenda is the continued frustration around EES at European borders, along with the news that ETIAS — the €20 pre-travel authorisation — has been delayed into Q1 next year. With leisure travellers about to swell the summer queues, Clive and Andrew explain why the BTA is keeping business travellers' voices front and centre, from media interviews to ongoing calls with the DfT.

Attention then turns to the 2026 Conference in Alicante, with headline speakers now confirmed: political journalist Steve Richards returns with his unique take on British politics, adventurer Bonita Norris shares her remarkable story of resilience, and Lloyd Figgins delivers an update on the increasingly complex world of travel risk.

Elsewhere, the pair discuss our Sustainability Conference, a refreshed approach to the BTA's social channels, accreditation momentum with 10 members now on board, a brand-new partner board about to be unveiled, and the accessibility group's second members-only paper.

And with England facing Argentina in the World Cup semi-final, there's cautious optimism in the air. Fifty-fifty, apparently.

The NoJetStress Podcast is a traveler wellbeing podcast for frequent business travelers covering health and peak performance on the road as well as to help business travelers maintain optimal health and avoid burnout no matter how much they travel. Christopher Babayode, a Corporate Travel Wellness Expert shares his insights on Traveler Wellness.

Inspiring the Next Generation of Aviation Leaders

In short episode, Shannon shifts gears from discussing crew wellness and corporate aviation standards to her passion as an educator. She highlights how her company, Unbridled Air, actively lowers barriers to entry for youth by introducing them to the vast world of aviation and aerospace early on.

Beyond the Cockpit (Kindergarten to Career):

  • Aviation education shouldn't start in adulthood; it needs to start as early as kindergarten.
  • While everyone envisions becoming a pilot, Shannon points out there are 380 different jobs in aviation and aerospace that kids can explore.

Breaking Barriers to Entry:

  • Whether students come from inner cities or rural communities, exposure is key. Unbridled Air uses hands-on, creative learning to bridge the gap.

Early Lifestyle Education:

  • For middle and high school students serious about aviation, Shannon highlights the importance of discussing lifestyle choices early, such as preparing for mandatory background checks and drug testing.

Global Records and Aviation History:

  • As an education delegate to the FAI, Shannon talks about her role in documenting global aerospace events.

... and more.

Welcome to The BTA Podcast. In these podcasts we will endeavour to share our thoughts, concerns, optimism and build those all-important human connections with our Partners, Members and Guests.

The latest BTA Pulse highlights key pressures in business travel and ongoing lobbying efforts. A central focus was the proposed overnight visitor levy, with the BTA and industry partners pushing for business travel exemption or a flat nightly charge instead of a percentage.

The upcoming Air Passenger Duty increase from 1 April was also raised, with continued campaigning against rising costs, particularly premium economy pricing.

Changes to national rail refund rules were flagged as a major concern, though a short extension has been secured. The episode also promoted the April conference, welcomed new partners, and encouraged members to stay engaged and involved.

The NoJetStress Podcast is a traveler wellbeing podcast for frequent business travelers covering health and peak performance on the road as well as to help business travelers maintain optimal health and avoid burnout no matter how much they travel. Christopher Babayode, a Corporate Travel Wellness Expert shares his insights on Traveler Wellness.

In this episode, Christopher talks about:

  • How treating obstructive sleep apnoea revealed, almost overnight, what happens when chronically sleep‑deprived people finally rest well , and why they can look like a “different person” in days.
  • Why most patients don’t complain about “sleep” itself, but about memory, focus, mood, and low daytime energy.
  • The crucial difference between sleep and circadian rhythms, and why they can’t be understood in isolation.
  • What Formula One teams can teach global teams about maintaining performance across time zones.
  • How “weekend catch‑up sleep” and social jet lag quietly erode consistency, even for high achievers.
  • Why naps, used strategically, can be a performance tool rather than a guilty pleasure.
  • The mindset shift from “sleep is for wimps” to “sleep as a primary recovery technology” — on par with exercise and nutrition.

Then we open the business travel chapter:

  • How much disruption you should really expect when travelling.
  • Why worrying about sleep can sometimes do more harm than the sleep loss itself.
  • The mental reframe that helps you perform even when your sleep isn’t perfect.

Tune in to hear:

  • How Dr. Garley breaks performance into physical, cognitive, and emotional domains.
  • The evidence‑based insights drawn from both clinical practice and elite sport.
  • Our exchange on circadian health, jet lag, and sustainable performance on the road.

The NoJetStress Podcast is a traveler wellbeing podcast for frequent business travelers covering health and peak performance on the road as well as to help business travelers maintain optimal health and avoid burnout no matter how much they travel. Christopher Babayode, a Corporate Travel Wellness Expert shares his insights on Traveler Wellness.

The Aircraft: Place of Least Leverage (POLL)

  • Mindset Shift: Once you’re airborne, control is out of your hands—accept and adapt.
  • The Cabin as a Desert: Dry air, lower pressure, radiation, and zero control make the cabin a challenging environment.

Hostile Elements at Altitude

  • Low Humidity → Rapid dehydration risk
  • Low Pressure → Less oxygen, more fatigue
  • Radiation Exposure → Increased risk at cruise altitude
  • Lack of Control → Unpredictable schedules, cabin noise, and food quality

In-Flight Defensive Strategy

  • Focus: What you CAN control—your micro-environment.
  • “Defend, hydrate, insulate” is the policy.

Actionable Takeaways

  • Hydrate Relentlessly: Bring a 1L water bottle, fill it after security, and aim for 1L per 4 hours in the air. Judge hydration by urine color.
  • Protect Your Senses: Use noise-canceling headphones to reduce engine hum; eye mask to block light and preserve melatonin (and quality rest).
  • Ditch Diuretics: Avoid coffee, sodas, and alcohol—choose water at every opportunity.

In their latest conversation Clive Wratten and Andrew Clarke after discussing the weather (again) look forward to what’s coming up BTA Towers over the coming weeks. They discussed collaboration, firstly with BEAM supporting the BTA,s M&E Conference and then the BTA supporting the BEAM conference later in the same week. There was discussion on up and coming meetings in Westminster and whether a tie was still a requirement for attending the Palace of Westminster or is a shirt and suit now acceptable.

Are there some countries whose image has already been cemented in your mind, even before you've seen the latest posts and reels coming from people visiting them? You know, the ones that make the news, but for all the wrong reasons. When thinking about Pakistan, have you dared to imagine yourself traveling there, without an agenda, for months on end? Perhaps not, but we're about to hear from a traveler who did just that, whose perspective has the power to change your perceptions.

Brent Timm is a full-time traveler who got his start sharing his love of snack food on his travels around the world. He aims to show a world that transcends our preconceptions, by highlighting humanity’s common bonds.

Follow along with Brent on your favorite social media platform, or at Brent Timm dot com.

For many of us, the stories we tell ourselves about our past become gatekeepers, dangling the key to our future. But the future is rightfully yours, and there is hope on the other side of adversity.

In this series of Hart Inspired, we’ll discuss how to let go of the stories that are no longer serving you. We’ll learn from others who slayed the dragon within so they could dream bigger, and then see those dreams turned into reality. 

We all have moments when we know we must make a choice, but the private pivot is just the beginning. The first move toward change begins within, with the stories you tell yourself, followed by choosing different surroundings and forming new relationships. Setbacks will always be a part of your story, but the new you will look for the next steps. One day at a time, you’ll wake up one morning realizing that the person who lived in despair now guides others to find the best version of themselves.

Whilst a great initiviave (as well as some others, see the link) I wonder if this will throw any spanners into how existing offsetting schemes are working, as now some fares might need to be excluded from a corporate's offset program. https://lnkd.in/desUGb3a

  • Virgin Atlantic finally producing a new premier product - the Retreat. Here's Shashank's take on it. https://lnkd.in/d_TwWdbq

It is so exciting when you get an opportunity to talk to someone who is well recognized, has had longevity in the industry and yet demonstrates such an incredible amount of grace and is very humble.  Elaine Osgood is such a person.

We sat down with Elaine to celebrate Women's History Month and her role as CEO of Atlas Travel & Technology Group that she founded 34 years ago.   Atlas Travel is one of the few women owned travel companies in the world.   

What we  uncovered was how she overcame many obstacles and transformed them into opportunities.  Today she mentors young women and helps them grow into strong independent minded leaders of tomorrow. 

Oh yes and we also discussed some of the latest news in travel.

EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, WE HAVE HEROES THAT STEP UP.   Tony Aldapa is such a person.

On Dec 14, 2020, Tony took United Airlines Flight #591 from Orlando to Los Angeles.  In the middle of the flight, another passenger had a medical emergency had coronavirus.  Tony and a couple of other passengers performed CPR for about 45 minutes as the flight was diverted to New Orleans. The man was later pronounced dead at a local hospital.

After the flight, the entire situation made news.  Upon seeing Tony's tweet about another upcoming trip that he was going to make to Orlando for his 33rd birthday,  I decided to take action and offered to buy his airline ticket to celebrate his heroism.

For weeks United was quiet about it and did not want to give attention to the story.   Finally, they  emailed him a voucher for $200 for his “help/inconvenience on the flight”.  $200?  Really?  This made me want to do more and hence a GoFundMe page was created.
