- Our **Smarter Traveler** segment sends a red flag for car rentals over the holidays (reserve NOW), and new software is limiting fuel burning time on the runway.

- We’ve talked about how the airlines have taken so much taxpayer money while not following refund rules on tickets. The day of reckoning is coming. **Chris Elliott** joins us to talk about the Department of Transportation crackdown.
