*On the Sunday, December 7th, 2014 edition of The Travel Guys…*

It's the second week of **Christmas with The Travel Guys.** Be listening for your opportunity to call in, contribute to the program, and win a prize. Just like last week, each listener who gets on the air is a winner and the call judged the best by our crew wins a $100 gift card grand prize.

In the Travel News, Richard Branson is about to shake up the cruise industry with [his new venture](http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2014/12/04/richard-bransons-virgin-empire-to-offer-cruises-on-the-high-seas/); and is it possible all carry on electronics will be banned from carry on luggage over Christmas? [We have the story](http://www.smartertravel.com/blogs/today-in-travel/will-the-ban-carry-on-bags-for-christmas-travel.html?id=21102833).

Tom speaks with Laurie Slothower of [Sacramento International Airport](http://www.sacramento.aero/smf/) for another in our series of holiday updates, to help make you a smarter traveler.

Next week, Consumer Reporter Ed Perkins, a Travel Guys regular is our featured guest, and we might just have a Christmas present or two left to give away.
