*On the Saturday, August 6th, 2016 edition of The Travel Guys…*

This Sunday (August 7) The Travel Guys are joined by Ben Schlappig, from the One Mile at a Time blog. Ben is a favorite guest and he's back to talk about recent changes to the American Airlines frequent flyer program and to give you some wisdom on what credit card is currently the best deal for travelers. Follow Ben at [www.onemileatatime.com](http://www.onemileatatime.com/).

Other guests include a [Westin Hotel with a unique Adopt-a-Dog Program](http://www.westinmissionhills.com/Adopt-a-Pet) that is finding dozens of pooches a new home; and [Gwen Duncan, our Travel Professional](http://www.cordiallyyourstravel.com/), tells us how to save money on airfare by considering alternate airports.
