Al Roker, Craig Melvin, Sheinelle Jones, and Dylan Dreyer took their seats as the anchors for the day.

The cherished weatherman took a moment to share his pet peeve about air travel, expressing his frustration when passengers use speakerphone upon boarding.

"People get on the phone, they put their phone on speaker, and then start telling people 'hey, I just landed!'" Roker remarked based on his observations.

The anchors were unanimous in their stance that individuals should avoid being rude by taking calls in communal areas or playing loud music.

Another point of discussion revolved around the etiquette of dressing for a flight.

Roker emphasized the importance of being mindful of attire during air travel.

He expressed the view that, with the exception of overnight trips, people should make an effort to dress appropriately for the occasion, taking into consideration the comfort factor.
