Has remote work changed the travel landscape?

While some workers return to the office this year, many others continue to work remotely indefinitely. This seismic shift has changed where people live and work and, increasing, how they travel.

In the first quarter of 2022, nearly 25% of job postings at the 50,000 largest companies in the US and Canada were for permanently remote positions, according to the job listing service Ladders. That’s up from a mere 4% before the pandemic.

American Airlines lost a 12-year-old child traveling alone at Miami airport last month and shut down the terminal to find her. In the same month, the airline canceled a 10-year-old’s flight but failed to inform her parents.

A former flight attendant, who has more than 20 years of experience in the industry, told Insider it is “very common” for unaccompanied children to go missing or be left
