This week (June 12th) on The Travel Guys, we talk with Chris Elliott about his [ongoing controversy regarding tipping](http://elliott.org/thats-ridiculous-2/angry-waiters-to-consumer-advocate-you-should-be-ashamed-of-yourself/). Travelers do a lot of it and the discussion centers on the importance of tips to servers, and whether they should be included in the cost of the meal, etc.

In the travel news, Mark tells you the [five things you should do on a plane BEFORE reclining your seat](https://www.smartertravel.com/2016/05/26/5-rules-for-reclining-your-airplane-seat/?source=91&u=9VCR1D1YDI&nltv=&nl_cs=28894317%3A%3A%3A%3A%3A%3A) and there's also a discussion on top picks for budget-oriented and student travelers.
