The reality is that the most effective personalization is when you don’t ask a consumer to do anything explicit. What they are asking you to do is to tell them you like four-star hotels that have a pool, that have free Wi-Fi or are in the city center. Most consumers don’t want to do that. What they’d rather do is scan through a list of hotels and then pick the one that they like. What you don’t know is why they picked that.Steve Hafner (Kayak)

The biggest watchword for us is authenticity. We have, for generations, had a pronounced focus on our people and service culture.

I have to say it’s utterly ridiculous. And Willie’s words are Willie’s words. But, this airplane doesn’t look like a Delta airplane. Our approach is clearly Virgin Atlantic.Craig Kreeger (Virgin Atlantic)
Hammad, a former EasyJet Plc executive who joined Flybe in 2013, has cut losses by ditching predecessor Jim French’s plan to switch to a largely jet-powered fleet and capture swathes of the European regional market. He’s focused instead on cheaper- to-run turboprops planes, targeting more modest growth rates while exploring options for third-party flights.Christopher Jasper (Bloomberg)

Today, the city of Vinge, Denmark, is nothing more than a grassy field with two railroad tracks running through it. By 2033, it’ll be a full-fledged town. The 350 hectares of land will be home to an estimate 20,000 residents, many of whom will likely use Vinge’s train station to commute to and from Denmark’s larger cities.Liz Stinson (Wired)
The one unexpected thing is the speed of the change The iPhones were launched only seven years ago and now they’ve sold half a billion units. The adoption of these smartphones and mobile devices, and what customers want to do on them, is all changing really really fast.David Kong (Best Western)
