From Writing about Travel to Selling Travel: How One Advisor Built Her Unique Business

Photo: Stacy Small

Like many travel trade journalists, Stacy H. Small thought about using her knowledge of the travel industry to sell travel rather than write about it. Unlike most travel trade journalists, Small followed through on that thought.

In her last job as a writer – editorial director of Elite Traveler Magazine – Small said she was exposed to ultra-high net worth travelers, which got her thinking.

“It opened my eyes to this whole audience of people that were out there wanting to know more about luxury travel, spending a lot of money, calling our office, and asking for more information,” she told TMR.

Often she would refer the caller to Abercrombie & Kent or a similar luxury travel company. In the end, she’d get thank you notes from the CEOs for referring them hundred thousand dollar clients.

“It just sort of set off this light bulb. Maybe I should be selling travel… I realized I wanted to have a business and ultimately make more money selling the luxury travel I’d been writing about all those years.”

From the start, Small had a vision of what her company could be, and while it took several years to get her agency off the ground by 2020 she was doing $20 million in business.

Building a business, her way

From her earlies days, Small didn’t do it the usual way.

“This was early 2000’s, so people weren’t really yet working from home, but I kind of knew I could,” she said. “I had a vision that I could start a little home-based travel business and I called it Elite Travel International, because I’d been at Elite Traveler Magazine. People knew me as that.”

For several years, Small supplemented her travel business with writing, first out of necessity and later for fun. But with lots of tech-industry clients and a tech boom in the early 2010s, it wasn’t long before business was booming.

Small told TMR she also had a bit of an unfair advantage, because during her time at a different travel trade magazine she’d been introduced to Bill Fischer, a pioneering travel advisor in the luxury travel niche.

“I had this taste of if I’m ever going to do this, I want to do it that way,” she said.

Her earliest days weren’t all luxury. She did a little bit of most things including some corporate travel and some honeymoon travel.

“Back then, to me, a honeymoon for $10,000 was doable and I enjoyed doing those and really learning how to work with people and how to sell travel,” she explained.

Eventually she built her agency up to 30 ICs. By 2020, she had more than $20 million dollars on the books.

COVID’s silver linings

Like so many other agencies, Small saw everything on the books for 2020 vanish. But also like so many other advisors, Small emerged from the pandemic with a better idea of what she wanted for her life and her business.

“I wanted to grow my business, but I’d also, after the pandemic, realized that my health and my peace and my sanity are equally or more important than being stressed out all the time,” she said.

Prior to the pandemic, she’d been too busy to stop and think about the future of her business. The pandemic gave her the time to do so.

Stuck on Maui during the pandemic and the only Virtuoso advisor in the area, Small was inundated with one-off requests for Hawaii trips. They required a lot of work and she rarely heard from these clients again. While she did start charging a $500 planning fee, she didn’t enjoy any of it.

(Prior to COVID, Small had been averse to charging fees, telling TMR “Everybody was making plenty of money on commissions. It really was never top of mind.”)

Instead of continuing in a direction she wasn’t happy with, Small decided to do something completely different – and a bit unorthodox.

“I sent out a couple of feeler emails to some really good clients saying, if were to create more of a membership model and give you a lot more bandwidth and really focus on you and a few other clients, is this something you’d be willing to pay me for? And the ones I asked, said yes.”

She told TMR it wasn’t the easiest decision to make, but once she made it, she said she had fun going all in. She put together an invitation letter and marketing. She changed her logo, closed her old LLC, and opened a new one under the name Elite Travel Club.

“It was a fresh new post-pandemic start,” she said.

Today, three years after sending those initial emails, she operates a one-person, membership-based agency with a focus on quality over quantity. She keeps the numbers capped at about 15 families.

“Scaling it back and really focusing on keeping the clients I have and working really closely to keep them happy is more important than always bringing in new clients,” she said.

And her clients are more than willing to pay. On top of the $15K her clients pay her for membership, they collectively book $5 to $10 million a year in travel.

“After 18 years of doing this and 15 years of writing about it, that’s three decades of experience that I’m giving to people. That’s a lot of time and money, and at this point, being paid for my knowledge feels really aligned,” she said.

One of the benefits of having a membership-based clientele is that her clients trust her advice. They’re paying her for her expertise and so there’s little second guessing when she tells them what hotels to stay at or which activities to participate in.

“They listen to my advice and I’m not just giving it to them because it’s more expensive… I enjoy turning people onto ways that they can invest their money in these better experiences… it’s just saving them so much time and stress.”

The wizard behind the curtain

Small refers to what she does for her clients today as being the wizard behind the curtain.

“I know how to put the puzzle together,” she said. “I’m pulling a lot of strings and doing a lot of magic tricks.”

Part of her ability to do all that magic is her relationships with DMCs and hoteliers around the world.

“Over the last 18 years, that’s something I’ve done really well,” she said. “In the beginning, I went to all the shows and built relationships in those early days… looking for relationships that are going to be long lasting instead of having to shop that around. Years later, I f I need something, even if it’s super busy in Italy, my Italy DMC remembers that I was giving them business 12 years ago.”

Small has relationships with DMCs in most destinations that she books a lot, as well as with hotel general managers, head concierges, room directors, and revenue managers.

If she doesn’t already have one when sending a client to a hotel, she digs around to find the right person.

“I find people on LinkedIn if I have a challenge. Nobody minds hearing from you when you’re sending a high level client to their hotels.”

Relationships with her clients are also important and working with so few allows Small to get to know them more closely than before. She talks to her clients on a regular basis. They text her when they have a question. She has an open WhatsApp group for when clients are traveling and they can reach out to her at any time.

“I’m in regular touch with them. It’s not like we only talk once a year when they’re planning their trip… it created this much more of an all-around relationship.”

While there’s been some turnover over the past three years, most of her clients want to stick with her.

“It’s like having a really good CPA, you don’t want to lose them,” she said.

Journalism skills that helped

Small attributes some of her success to skills she picked up as a journalist, though she readily admits she made lots of mistakes in her early years.

“I didn’t know what I didn’t know. It was years of making mistakes and having to learn to bite my tongue,” she said, adding that advisors have to go through the learning curve even though it’s not easy and it’s not for the faint of heart.

She said she’s seen lots of ICs come and go over the years for those very reasons.

Naturally, her writing skills are something she told TMR have helped her grow her business.

“I can whip off any email. I don’t need AI. I don’t rewrite anything. I did a Constant Contact newsletter in 2007 when nobody did that… I’ve always used my writing skills as a sort of bonus and a way to communicate well with my clients and my suppliers.”

Her reporter’s research skills are also highly useful. She knows how to find answers and she’s not afraid to ask for them.

TRAVEL & SPA MAGAZINE Becomes Italy’s Most Widely Circulated Wellness Tourism Magazine

Recent data shows that TRAVEL & SPA MAGAZINE has become Italy’s most widely circulated spa & wellness travel publication, with thousands of readers through digital newsstands in 250 countries worldwide.

Italy - August 28, 2024 —

TRAVEL & SPA MAGAZINE , Italy’s first and most popular digital tourism publication, has attained another significant milestone. It is now the country's most widely circulated tourism magazine, and growth doesn't appear to be slowing. The tourism and lifestyle magazine offers travelers a refined guide to the most exclusive resorts, beautiful beaches, fascinating destinations, and current lifestyles among the world's luxury locations. 

The magazine cultivates a strong emotional aesthetic that appeals to readers. TRAVEL & SPA contains stunning visual and photographic elements, showcasing exotic locations with impeccable editorial quality. The magazine’s staff knows its audience and strives to provide relevant content for readers accustomed to the best. 

Readers can enjoy TRAVEL & SPA in two digital formats (each different in content and usability) with a browsable PDF document or as an online travel site packed with the latest news about travel, tourism, luxury hotels, vacation locations, spas, beauty, food, and lifestyle elements. 

“ TRAVEL & SPA is not just a magazine,” says Paolo Sisti, editor-in-chief of the magazine. “It is an omnichannel communication platform, in line with the evolution of the modern publication market.”

After attaining the enviable status of the most widely circulated Italian wellness travel magazine in the world, TRAVEL & SPA is eager to share its success. The publication’s digital platform includes a web portal and multiple social channels that put advertisers in constant contact with their target audience. 

Across the 250 countries of distribution, TRAVEL & SPA reaches a potential readership of more than 75 million people, with an average monthly readership of 423,000. The digital magazine is optimized for use across multiple devices, offering a simple, effective method for readers to engage with the content. 

Within the pages of TRAVEL & SPA MAGAZINE , readers will find an abundance of travel ideas, exclusive itineraries, dream locations, and tips to improve one’s physical and mental well-being. The magazine serves as a hub for culture, art, food, and beauty, highlighting the most incredible sights and activities the world has to offer. Each issue approaches the topics of travel and personal wellness from a new, engaging perspective. Readers can embrace the magic of travel as they browse spectacular travel images and delve into fascinating stories from other travelers.  

“ TRAVEL & SPA chronicles places and destinations with one goal—to make readers dream,” the magazine’s founders said. “Stunning images are combined with evocative tips and stories, turning our ‘luxury magazine’ into a dream book full of ideas, suggestions, and advice.” 

The online readership and community TRAVEL & SPA has built puts it in a unique position to serve as a bridge between companies offering luxury tourism services and affluent travelers seeking memorable travel experiences. The magazine’s staff works hard to ensure readers have a pleasant experience while perusing the pages while providing effective advertising opportunities for partners. 

The numbers show that the resulting platform is working for both sides. Readers enjoy a highly visual publication with valuable information about the places and things they’re interested in, and advertisers gain an opportunity to get their luxury products in front of the target audience.

TRAVEL & SPA has also established a robust presence on social media outlets like Facebook , Instagram, and LinkedIn. Readers can find links to popular articles and many of the stunning photos included in the magazine. This strategy increases the magazine’s visibility and emphasizes brand awareness while further establishing TRAVEL & SPA MAGAZINE as an authority in the industry.

The 15 Best Travel Products to Come Across T+L Editors’ Desks This August — From $24

Discover the best pieces from brands like Away, Cariuma, Béis, Hoka, and more.

Travel + Leisure / Francesca Fasciglione

One of the biggest perks of my job is not only that I get to detail my travels for a living, but that I’m frequently granted the opportunity to try new, trending products that upgrade both my adventures and day-to-day life. Supportive footwear , comfortable clothing , spacious luggage , and other handy hacks are all integral pieces of any travel experience, and this month, my fellow Travel + Leisure editors and I have tried an onslaught of gear worth highlighting.

From hardside Away luggage to the best Cariuma sneakers for long travel days, these are the 15 best new products to come across our desks this month. In addition to asking for their picks, I also gathered their honest reviews of each product so you'll have no difficulty adding it to your repertoire. Whether you’re looking for a packable new purse or the perfect end-of-summer sandals , these are thebest of the best of what we’ve tried this August, starting at $24.

Cariuma Uba Sneakers

“After spotting countless celebs and T+L editors wearing Cariuma sneakers, I was thrilled when I finally got the opportunity to see if these shoes lived up to the never-ending claims that they’re comfortable 'straight from the box.' After just a few weeks of wearing them, I can proudly say that they did not disappoint. I opted for the skater-style Uba sneakers as they made for the perfect replacement to my beat-up Nike Air Force 1s, and the cushy, cork insoles instantly padded my feet during long walks around New York City. The subtle silver trimming adds a cool pop to any outfit, and I’ve already worn them with everything from dresses to jeans — and earned plenty of compliments along the way. Next stop: Norway!” - Merrell Readman, Senior Commerce Writer

Béis Expandable Backpack

“I've been looking for a solid travel backpack for a while, and I recently tested this one from Béis on a trip to Key West. Thanks to its expandable features and separate laptop compartment, I was able to pack two laptops, my Amazon Fire Tablet, my Fujifilm camera, a water bottle, various portable chargers and cables, some beauty products, and a notebook — all with room to spare.” - Asia London Palomba, Commerce Updates Writer

Hoka Transport Shoes

“I walk several miles with my dog each day, so I'm always looking for shoes that will stand up to my step count. I finally jumped on the Hoka train and I couldn't be happier. These Transport shoes are incredible to walk in. Not only do they feel comfortable and supportive (coming from someone who pronates quite a bit), but they actually feel like they're propelling me forward with each step. I almost don't want to take them off when I get home. Plus, they're way more stylish than a lot of walking shoes.” - Anne Taylor, Commerce Updates Writer

Away Featherlight Crossbody Bag

“When Away's new Featherlight Crossbody came across my desk, I knew it was the exact bag my travel stash had been missing. As the name promises, it's as light as can be and super comfortable to carry across my shoulder. As someone who isn't the best at packing light, this is a dream. It's also the perfect compromise between a super roomy tote bag and a small purse. As with every Away product, there are thoughtful details throughout like the discreet side pocket on the outside and the small zippered compartment in the strap where you can stash a lip gloss or your AirPods case. I have a few trips planned for this year, and this will be a staple for each packing list.” - Jasmine Grant, Senior Commerce Editor

Mephisto Helen Sandals

“I was shocked by how supportive these sandals were as soon as I slipped my feet in them. I first put them on during a week of unusual foot pain from the gym and I could feel these shoes targeting each sore spot with their amazing arch support. The footbed is also incredibly soft, so they felt so good on my feet. I was even surprised by how lightweight they are, and I definitely plan on packing them in my suitcase for a shoe that I can wear both to do a lot of walking in and out to dinner, thanks to the metallic flair.” - Erin Cavoto, Commerce Editor

Aritzia Golden Life Divinity 5-inch Romper

“I’m always on the lookout for comfortable yet stylish outfits to wear during long travel days, and this stretchy and breathable Aritzia romper is, without a doubt, my new favorite option. The fabric is sweat-wicking, which is essential for braving the August heat, and it somehow ties together all the best facets of workout clothing into one unbelievably flattering piece. Tactfully placed seams snatch my waist so I feel confident and well-dressed (even if I’ve just styled it with sneakers), and after wearing it during a five-hour Greyhound bus ride, it’s officially earned its spot at the top of my packing list moving forward.” - Merrell Readman, Senior Commerce Writer

Baby Bogg Bag

“When I got the opportunity to bring my Bogg Bag to the beach, it was an absolute game-changer. It's incredibly sturdy and stands upright on its own, so I never had to worry about it tipping over in the wind. Plus, not a single grain of sand made its way inside. The bag is waterproof and washable, making it impressively durable. I have it in the Bananarama shade, which is such a fun and vibrant color for summer, but there are plenty of other gorgeous hues to choose from.” - Rosie Marder, Commerce Writer

M.M. LaFleur The Milo Jean

M.M.LaFleur

“I'm not the biggest fan of traveling in jeans, but this pair from M.M. LaFleur really is better than any piece of denim I've tried. They are stretchy and roomy, but they still look like a regular pair of wide-leg pants. They come in various colors, too, so you can stock up for fall and winter.” - Anna Popp, Associate Commerce Editor

Away Bigger Carry-on Flex Luggage

“I finally got my hands on a piece of Away luggage, and I can confirm it's worth the hype. This luxe carry-on has quickly become my favorite suitcase thanks to its sleek outer hardshell, spacious interior, and expandable design that is much-needed with my bad habit of overpacking. I'm a fan of the neutral cloud gray color that dropped this summer, but there are several other stunning shades to choose from, as well.” - Gabriella Maestri, Commerce Writer

Kayali Vacation in a Bottle

“I'm always on the go, but unfortunately a lot of my favorite scents aren’t TSA-friendly and, therefore, can't come with me. That's why I was so excited when this set from Kayali came across my desk. Not only are the scents carry-on-ready, but they're fun, fresh, and named after great destinations like Maui, Marrakech Capri, and the Maldives.” - Danielle Pointdujour, Senior Editor

Cuyana Mini Paloma Bag

“Cuyana released a mini version of its classic Paloma Shoulder Bag in July and it’s the perfect little purse for my late-summer Europe trip. The shoulder strap is adjustable (so it can be carried on my arm or across my chest), but the best part is that it fully zips closed so I’m not worried about pickpocketing. There's also a snap loop to secure keys and a slip pocket that fits a phone. Plus, it’s surprisingly roomy so I can also fit my camera, 16-ounce water bottle, wallet, and umbrella in there, too.” - Morgan Ashley Parker, Associate Editorial Director

Glossier Boy Brow Arch

“I don't like taking too much time to do my makeup when I'm traveling. This pencil has two edges to add in precise lines, then fill in more sparse areas super fast. Between this, mascara, concealer, and some lip gloss, I have a full face of makeup done in under five minutes.” - Neha Tandon, Commerce Editor

Exped Splash 15 Dry Bag

“Where has this amazing waterproof bag been all my life? This 15-liter daypack that doubles as a dry bag weighs less than 4 ounces, making it the ultimate must-have for rainy-day hikes, paddling trips, or anywhere you go in the summertime when pop-up showers seem to be perpetually in the forecast.” - Paul Brady, News Director

Cozy Earth Waffle Bath Robe

“This bathrobe might just be the coziest thing I own, and it's perfect as we start to look toward chilly fall weather. Complete luxury with plush bamboo material and two pockets, it makes my New York City studio apartment feel like a 5-star hotel. Plus, it's from Cozy Earth, so I can count on the high quality to last for years to come.” - Sophie Mendel, Commerce Editor

Hermes Eau de Rhubarbe écarlate Moisturizing Body Lotion

“This rhubarb-scented lotion makes a chic gift. It comes in a bold red, H-stamped bottle that’s refillable. But I kept mine for myself; constant traveling dries out my skin, and it’s as moisturizing as it is fashionable. Plus, I love having a little reminder of trips to Paris at home with me.” - Nina Ruggiero, Senior Editorial Director

NatWest and Visa Partner to Launch New Travel Credit Card

NatWest Group has partnered with global payments giant Visa to introduce a new travel reward credit card for UK customers. 

The launch comes as the travel industry continues to rebound from the pandemic, with consumers increasingly seeking value and flexibility in their financial products.

Now available to NatWest customers, the new card offers a suite of features designed to reward frequent travellers, by offering 1% cashback on eligible travel expenditures, encompassing a wide range of categories including flights, trains, car rentals, ferries, buses, hotel accommodation, travel agents, cruises and campsites.

In addition to the travel-specific rewards, cardholders can earn between 1% and 15% cashback at selected partner retailers, although these specific partners are yet to be disclosed. 

NatWest: Tiered rewards for customers 

The card’s tiered reward structure reflects a growing trend in the credit card industry towards more targeted and potentially lucrative reward schemes.

One of the card's most attractive features is the absence of foreign transaction fees on purchases made abroad, a significant benefit for international travellers who often face substantial charges for overseas spending. 

This aligns with a broader industry shift towards reducing or eliminating such fees, as issuers compete for the valuable frequent traveller segment.

The card also boasts no annual fee, positioning it as an accessible option for a wide range of consumers. This fee-free approach is particularly noteworthy given the card's travel-focused benefits, as many premium travel cards in the market typically charge annual fees.

Salim Secretary, Head of Payment Schemes and Partnerships at NatWest Group, says: “Our new Travel Reward Credit card is rewarding our customers with one percent back on their travel spend. 

“It is through our long-term collaboration with Visa that we have been able to further extend the choice of cards available to our customers."

NatWest & Visa: Building on a partnership

The launch is part of a broader, long-standing partnership between NatWest and Visa, aimed at providing customers with access to a range of payment solutions. 

To generate buzz around the launch, NatWest has tied the new card to its sponsorship of Team GB and Visa's sponsorship of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. 

Existing NatWest customers who expressed interest in the card were entered into a draw to win tickets to the Olympic Games Paris 2024 Closing Ceremony and an Olympic event, courtesy of Visa. 

The Olympics aside, the timing of the card’s launch – amidst a post-pandemic travel boom – appears well-positioned to meet growing consumer demand. 

Moreover, the card's features reflect broader shifts in consumer behaviour and expectations in the post-pandemic era. The emphasis on cashback rewards, rather than points or miles, speaks to a preference for tangible, easily understood benefits. 

Mandy Lamb, Managing Director, UK & Ireland at Visa, concludes: "As part of our long-term collaboration, we're delighted that NatWest will launch this new credit card in the UK, helping to deliver seamless, secure and flexible payment experiences. 

"Together we'll bring our world-class capabilities to millions of NatWest's customers with all our products and services underpinned by our global commitment to be the best way to pay and be paid.”

Visa's partnership with NatWest comes after it launched a Digital Emergency Card Replacement service for travellers that lose their cards when abroad.

Landon Y. Jones, Who Made People a Star Among Magazines, Dies at 80

An unapologetic champion of the newsworthiness of celebrities, he also drew attention to teenage pregnancy and helped popularize the term “baby boomer.”

By Trip Gabriel

Landon Y. Jones, who was the top editor of People magazine in the 1990s, when its profits increased fourfold, and whose fascination with popular culture inspired him to write a 1980 book that helped popularize the term “baby boomer,” died on Aug. 17 in Plainsboro, N.J. He was 80.

His son, Landon Jones III, said the cause of his death, in a hospital near Princeton, N.J., where he had lived for more than 50 years, was complications of myelofibrosis.

An unapologetic champion of the newsworthiness of celebrities, Mr. Jones was perpetually eager to learn about the next famous person. As a writer for People, he interviewed a young Bill Gates in 1983 and brought along a colleague, one of the few he knew with a personal computer, to help him understand the Windows operating system.

During his stint as People’s managing editor, the top editorial job, from 1989 to 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales, appeared on the cover dozens of times. Mr. Jones would say that People, a publication of Time Inc., was about the “three D’s”: Diana, diet and death, specifically that of celebrities.

“There were other people at People who dreamed of being on the big book — on Time,” Jeff Jarvis, a colleague of Mr. Jones’s, said in an interview. “But I never sensed that Lanny was chagrined about being on People. It was the pathway that led to the things that fascinated him, like baby boomers and celebrity. He did it with pride.”

During Mr. Jones’s tenure, People introduced color printing; moved its newsstand date from Monday to Friday to capture weekend supermarket sales traffic; and made women its primary target audience.

The changes were instigated by People’s publisher at the time, Ann S. Moore, who said in an interview that Mr. Jones had been an enthusiastic partner in redirecting and fattening the corporate cash cow that was People.

“We were a great team,” said Ms. Moore, who went on to preside over Time Inc.’s entire magazine empire.

Although People market-tested the sales potential of celebrities before putting them on the cover — a decision that fell to Mr. Jones alone — he once called Ms. Moore and said, “Brace yourself for a million-dollar loss.”

He informed her that he had chosen a cover article about a day in the life of a pregnant teenager. Surprisingly, the issue, published in October 1994, flew off newsstands. It also, Ms. Moore said, inspired President Bill Clinton to convene a task force to address teenage pregnancy rates in the United States.

A 1966 graduate of Princeton, Mr. Young was precisely the type that Henry R. Luce, a founder of Time, liked to hire: an Ivy League male, with bonus points for being a Midwesterner and for exuding a patrician air. He was hired as a writer at Time magazine the month after he graduated with an English degree.

But he was no elitist. Former colleagues said he advanced many people’s careers and often showed compassion for co-workers. Hillie Pitzer, who was a colleague at People, recalled that he once paid for an administrative assistant who had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer to fly with her child to visit family in Israel.

Mr. Jones freely spent Time Inc.’s money in its world-bestriding heyday — trucking in sand for a Hawaiian-themed party in a conference room, or sending staff members to off-site retreats in California and Bermuda.

Although Time Inc. remained a bastion of “Mad Men” culture well into the 1980s, when the memory of cocktail carts being wheeled around on deadline nights was still fresh and women were relegated to lowly jobs, Mr. Jones was known for supporting women’s careers.

“Lanny championed me, as well as many others,” Martha Nelson, the founding editor of InStyle, a People spinoff, said in an email. She recalled that Mr. Jones recruited her to lead Project X, which became InStyle, in the summer of 1993.

“Creating a new magazine is a gamble and an experiment, watched by skeptics and critics,” said Ms. Nelson, who went on to become the first female editor in chief of Time Inc. in 2012. “Lanny was supportive, protective and understanding every step along the way.”

Landon Young Jones Jr. was born on Nov. 4, 1943, in Rome, Ga., and raised in St. Louis. He was the oldest of three sons born to Landon Y. Jones, an executive at a food products company, and Ellen (Edmondson) Jones.

He attended Saint Louis Country Day School. At Princeton, he found a home at The Daily Princetonian, the student newspaper, which set him on his career path.

“I was never a particularly good reporter,” he once said , “but I like to write, I like to put words together and I like to read.”

He was not strictly a Time Inc. lifer. He left his post-graduation job as a Time magazine writer after three years to edit Princeton Alumni Weekly. But he returned to the mothership in 1974, accepting a position as a People writer the year the magazine was spun off from a popular one-page chronicle of celebrities in Time.

“Everybody looked down on it at the company,” Mr. Jones later said of People. “We used to joke that we’d have to ride the freight elevators because people didn’t want to see us in the regular elevator. But People became this colossal success.”

Mr. Jones also served as the managing editor of Money, a personal finance magazine, from 1984 to 1989. During that time, the publication won three National Magazine Awards.

In 2015, Time Inc. gave him its Lifetime Achievement Award.

Besides his son, Mr. Jones is survived by his wife of 54 years, Sarah Brown Jones; their daughters, Rebecca Urciuoli and Catherine Jones; six grandchildren; and his brothers, Charles and Byron Jones.

In 1980, Mr. Jones wrote “Great Expectations: America and the Baby Boom Generation,” which took note of the inescapable cultural and political influence of the 75 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964.

Comparing the generation to a demographic pig swallowed by a python, and referring to its members as “baby boomers” — neither expression had yet gained wide currency — Mr. Jones established a template for decades of pop sociology about American birth cohorts.

He recalled in The Washington Post years later that he had proposed naming the book “The Baby Boomers.” “‘Oh, no,’ came my publisher’s quick answer,” he wrote. “‘No one knows what that means. It will confuse booksellers. They will shelve it under Child Care.’”

When Mr. Jones stepped down from People in 1997, a golden era in magazine publishing was waning with the rise of the internet. It was a slow decline that in 2018 led to the sale of Time Inc. to the Meredith Corporation, followed by mass layoffs and the sell-off of once-dominant magazine titles.

Mr. Jones remained a vice president for strategic planning at Time Inc. until 2000, when he retired at the relatively young age of 57. He told colleagues that after decades of working furiously and commuting to Princeton, he hoped to live a more rounded life.

In retirement, he wrote two books about the explorers Lewis and Clark: “The Essential Lewis and Clark” (2000) and “William Clark and the Shaping of the West” (2004). He worked on them at a second home outside Bozeman, Mont. His last book was “Celebrity Nation: How America Evolved Into a Culture of Fans and Followers” (2023).

Mr. Jones’s devotion to Princeton, as both his alma mater and his longtime residence, never flagged.

Once, when he was having computer trouble, he asked People’s technology aide to take a look at his Mac. Mr. Jones was out of the office when the aide, Eric Mischel, came by. Mr. Jones had not told Mr. Mischel his computer password. Looking around Mr. Jones’s office, Mr. Mischel recalled in an email, he saw all the Princeton memorabilia and took a guess: TIGER.

“I guessed right!” he said.

The agency anticipates about 2.5 million passengers will travel through John F.

Thursday, Friday and Monday are expected to be the busiest days at the airports.
