Midweek Interview with Sabre Travel Network’s Todd Arthur

For this week’s midweek interview, we took a closer look at the Asia Pacific vice president of Sabre Travel Network, Todd Arthur. That is, until he took a few hurried steps backwards.

The challenge for the industry is…

Developing talent who are passionate about the travel industry.

The things I like about my job…

The opportunity to work with the greatest team on the planet – I also get to visit really cool places and interact with amazing people.

And the frustrations are…

The number of overnight flights I take each month.

If I didn’t work in travel I would be…

A pilot.

Favourite airline?

TWA – although it’s no longer in business, it was my first flight and also my initials.

My proudest moment was…

Getting married to my amazing wife.

The naughtiest thing I ever did was…

Snuck into first class when I was 14, on a Japan Airlines flight from Tokyo to Los Angeles.

I try to relax by…

Going for a run.

The last time I feared for my life was…

Landing in a small plane in Kona Hawaii.

If I can, I always try to avoid…

Overnight flights in economy.

I really wish I had…

More time at home.

The best advice I’ve ever received was…

People are like books and it’s not often that you want to throw one away.

I don’t understand why people…

‘Reply All’ on emails.

My greatest weakness is…

Mexican food.

And my greatest strength is…

My appreciation of diversity.

If I won a $1 million lottery (aside from travelling), I would…

Disappear.

If I was prime minister I would…

Work to have the world use the same electric plug and abolish time zones.
