*On the Saturday, July 4th, 2015 edition of The Travel Guys…*

The holiday edition of The Travel Guys will certainly make you a smarter traveler. We have two stories from travelers, one with an amazingly happy ending, one not so much. The point of both is to give you the opportunity to learn from the experiences of others, to find out what worked and what didn't in challenging travel situations.

Chris Galloway has a live report from Boston, where he is escorting a group who witnessed fireworks with music from the

[Boston Pops on the 4th](http://www.july4th.org/). Perhaps you'd like to head there for America's birthday sometime. Chris will have some tips on how to handle big crowds for signature events.

In the travel news, the major airlines are under investigation by the government, but no one seems to quite know why. Mark and Tom give you their take on what might be happening.
