I have traveled for 21 years for my job - and surprisingly I have never seen this movie. i'd be interested to watch and see what he imparts as "travel wisdom" that I figured out on my own.
behind asians is perfect advice, as is not being in line behind anyone with kids. after so may years traveling, I can pretty much spot those that I do not want to be behind in TSA.
It's a solid business traveler movie. It's a little dated in that it's before mobile tickets, tsa precheck, and before the loyalty programs had been completely neutered. That said, many of the things he talks about with regards to travel will likely resonate still.

What’s crazy is that we did indeed move to firing people over zoom in their own offices.

Yeah, that part is funny how crazy that seemed back then. Now that's normal and they are firing in groups over zoom

This is fair, though I haven't seen that one in a while either.

Our entire department was shut down by Lehman Brothers in early 2007.
The sit down with the HR rep was spot on.
Our only difference was that Lehman Brothers hired Men in Black security guards to make sure that the building wasn't looted and burned down.
We all looked at one another and wondered if that was necessary. But I presume business in the South is very different than other parts of the world.
And after the layoff, my life was Fun With Dick And Jane as I applied for new jobs. Signing in at the front desk, I would read pages and pages of former coworkers and peers all applying for the same individual role signing in to the visitor log.
Up In The Air was real life for a ton of people.
