*On the Sunday, July 3rd, 2011 edition of The Travel Guys…*

Join The Travel Guys Sunday as the phone lines are once again opened up and Mark asks you what your favorite airline is and why. The votes from last week have been posted here. If you can't call in Sunday, be sure to vote on line. Results will be announced on next Sunday's show.

One lucky caller to the show this week will win a $50 ARCO gas card. We'll take calls after the Travel News. Featured guests include a man who will help us understand why airlines finished **last** among all industries in customer satisfaction; and Tom takes you on a visit to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, one of northern California's most popular tourist attractions.

916-921-1530 and [800-834-1530](tel:800-834-1530) are the numbers to call between 2:15 and 2:45pm Sunday. Be ready, because Mark has a couple of things he'll want to know when he gets you on the line. For example, when you stay in hotels, do you usually tip the housekeeper? Why or why not? Talk to you on the radio...
