Interview With Simon Calder
Wanderlust Magazine's Feb. 2006 issue includes an interview with Simon Calder who is the travel editor at The Independent. The interview is short but interesting. I was suprised to read that Calder insists on paying for most of the trips he goes on. I also liked what he said about great travel deals. Jim Blackburn asks him "What really gets your goat about the travel industry?"
Calder answers "When airlines don’t tell the truth; when they pretend that an airport is somewhere it isn’t, or when they tell you a flight is 99p when, with all the add-ons, it’s actually £15. Now, £15 is still a very good deal, but it’s not 99p, so why say it is?"
