"Next, I’m a big believer in the travel theme. From the end of COVID until today, I think it has never left us. Remember, what I always say: we are long on money and short on time, which is why I would buy United Airlines ahead of the quarter, along with Delta, American Express, Booking Holdings, and Marriott. Those are what I’m going to be… talking [aboout] next week, and we call it the big five travel. They tend to trade all together, and they are all terrific," Cramer said.

Hunt and United Airlines report… United can tell us the difference between the front of the plane, corporate customers who pay a lot of money, and the back, where regular people do their flying," he commented.
