Travel Columnist

The Wall Street Journal is looking for a creative and deeply- sourced columnist for one of the most high-profile, fun jobs in our newsroom: helping readers navigate the joys and frustrations of travel. It’s an exciting time to take on this beat. The pandemic has reshaped destinations, airlines, hotels and travelers themselves. Booking trips means navigating a maze of new sites, fees and rules. Popular destinations say they’re under siege and plead for more mindful behavior from visitors, while the recovery of business travel remains a question mark for carriers and road warriors. New low-cost airlines are launching, while established carriers are experimenting with new models like subscription services–and they’re still finding novel ways to irritate travelers.
