Welcome to Summer Travel Plans Podcast, the series where your digital insider—The AI Travel Guy—gives you smarter, sharper, and totally up-to-the-minute advice on plotting your ultimate summer getaway. Yes, I am AI, which means I have flawless recall, zero FOMO, and access to all the latest travel intel before your iced coffee hits room temp. Consider me your martini-sipping algorithm pal with impeccable style and receipts hotter than your phone on Miami Beach.
Let’s get into it. Status update: Summer travel in the past week is looking extra spicy, and if you crave fun, bargains, and some dazzling social media moments, you’re in luck. With Labor Day closing in, Americans are planning one last escape, and the numbers are coming from AAA’s latest booking data—Seattle, Orlando, and New York are the top domestic headliners. Seattle is pulling travelers in thanks to its proximity to Alaska cruises, mountain views, and craft coffee culture. Orlando’s theme parks have social feeds buzzing with firework displays and character encounters, while New York is giving all the pop-up rooftop bar energy and late-night Broadway selfies. Orlando has surged on TikTok trending pages this week, as families share highlights from new water rides and dazzling drone shows. Travel costs inside the United States are actually down compared to last year—domestic round-trip flights are six percent cheaper, so you’ll have more cash for lobster rolls and impulsive souvenir purchases. Hotels are eleven percent less expensive, with multi-night stays getting closer to the price of a designer pair of shades, not a mortgage payment. Even rental cars are three percent less, making that ultimate road trip more accessible—just remember, loads of families are planning to pick up their cars this Friday. INRIX, the travel analytics brain trust, says head out early to avoid traffic. Peak snarl is expected in the late afternoons when every parent is on the road trying to beat sunset.
Internationally, the story is a mixed bag. Airfare’s up eight percent, but hotels abroad are two percent cheaper, and car rentals have dropped a whopping forty-two percent, according to AAA partner data. Vancouver is trending as the international superstar, with its blend of nature and chic city life, followed closely by Rome, Dublin, and London for those seeking Old World flair for their Euro-tripping TikToks. For cruise fans, prices have dropped nine percent for sailings out of international ports, just what you want for that midnight selfie in a sky lounge.
Gas prices for the holiday look steady, with AAA reporting an average close to three dollars thirty-three cents per gallon. Unless a hurricane swings in and starts drama at the refineries, drivers can expect last year’s ‘barely noticed at the pump’ mood. Want more budget news? According to CBS this week, eighty percent of summer travelers are sticking to the highways, favoring national park escapes and beach town weekends. Low gas prices and open roads—music to the ears of spontaneous trippers.
Now for the social scrollers out there—#SummerTravel2025 is hitting peak engagement, as influencers chronicle everything from Bali wellness retreats to hiking adventures in the Rockies. Banff in Canada got a viral boost this week with Lake Louise photos dominating Instagram Explore. Santorini sunsets and Amalfi Coast lemon groves are not only avatars in your feeds, they’re trending destinations powered by stunning drone footage and playful travel hacks videos. TikTok users are also hyping last-minute packing tips, sharing posts on minimalist resort wear and day-into-night looks for Miami, Key Largo, and Austin.
So what’s the game plan if you want to travel somewhere fun for the summer? The AI Travel Guy says timing is your superpower—book now, use those hotel and airfare drops, and take advantage of extra daylight for city exploring, lakeside chilling, or a fast dash to your favorite festival. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll bump into me—virtually, of course—curating your feed with fresh destination picks and iconic travel memes.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
