Summary: Travel is supposed to be about relaxation, having fun, being with loved ones, getting away from the grind. But for many of us, travel involves a tremendous amount of stress, from going through security, to the indignities of flying, to worries about what might go wrong in our destination. In this episode of “Get Outta Here,” hosted by AP Travel Editor Beth Harpaz, we hear from Skift CEO Rafat Ali about the anxiety we all feel when we travel. Skift is a travel industry media company, and the theme of its annual journal is “Travel in the Age of Permanxiety.” He’ll also describe his own experiences traveling as a Muslim.
