*On the Sunday, December 5th, 2021 edition of The Travel Guys…*

- Mark checks in from Gettysburg and Hershey, Pennsylvania, where he has 30 travelers in tow on a **Christmas Mystery Tour**.
- In the **Travel News**, United Airlines set an aviation record this week, using 100% sustainable aviation fuel to fly a scheduled flight. The fuel emits 75% less carbon dioxide. Adele is setting up residence in Las Vegas, weekends through April, and Sacramento may be getting a new airline, Airbahn.
- For the second week in a row, our **Smarter Traveler** segment focuses on contracts between travelers and travel companies. If you don't take the time to read them, don't cry later.
- **Joe Brancatelli** from [JoeSentMe.com](https://joesentme.com/), one of Mark's favorite paid travel sites, has a take on the settlement between Pennsylvania and Marriott Hotel on the resort fee issue. As usual, Joe's opinion is a bit different from everyone else's.
- Tom talks to the folks from **Imaginarium 360**, the Christmas Lights Show at Cal Expo. Sounds like a cool place to visit during the holidays.
