With Sex and The City's reboot on TV, the tour of its hotspots in the Big Apple has also returned. A group of partying Canadians, who whooped it up on the plane on the way to Mexico, find themselves without a way home. - Airlines play a lot of games with seat selection. In recent years, they have figured out a way to monetize almost every desirable seat on the plane, and even some undesirable ones. In our **Smarter Traveler** segment, we talk about different strategies for avoiding the up charges. - If you are a traveler, you have a friend at **Travelers United**. The consumer group works to try and make airlines, cruise lines and the like behave themselves. Director Charlie Leocha joins us to discuss his disappointment in the lack of consumer friendly directives coming from the White House. Everything from family seating on planes to timely refunds are on Charlie's plate. - Carol Pucci is one of the writers for **Joe Sent Me**, a great pay-to-read web site Mark subscribes to. Carol is one of our "Travel Gals," and recently she wrote about the idea of having all domestic airline travelers COVID-vaccinated. ## Highlights - [Sex and The City Tour in NYC](https://onlocationtours.com/new-york-tv-and-movie-tours/sex-and-the-city-hotspots-tour/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5dz-wqKj9QIV5AN9Ch3M2Ab2EAAYASAAEgJ7f_D_BwE) - [Canadian Group Stranded in Mexico](https://www.google.com/search?q=Canadian+group+stranded+in+mexico&rlz=1C1CHWA_enUS597US597&oq=Canadian+group+stranded+in+mexico&aqs=chrome..69i57.6481j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) - [Travelers United: Help for Traveler/Consumer Issues](https://www.travelersunited.org/) - [Joe Sent Me: Paid travel web site, Carol Pucci Lives here](https://www.joesentme.com/) - [A site to get/compare travel insurance quotes](https://www.travelinsurance.com/) - [US Cities with Vaccine Mandates](https://www.travelpulse.com/gallery/destinations/us-cities-with-updated-travel-restrictions-due-to-omicron.html?image=10) - [Visit Santa Barbara](https://santabarbaraca.com/) - [Chris Elliott's buying/selling timeshares guide](https://www.elliott.org/ultimate-consumer-guides-smart-travelers/complete-guide-buying-selling-timeshare/) - [Free dates for National Park Entry in 2022](https://www.travelpulse.com/news/destinations/visit-any-national-park-for-free-on-these-dates-in-2022.html) - [20 commonsense security steps travelers often forget to take](https://www.travelersunited.org/twenty-top-commonsense-security-steps-travelers-too-often-forget-to-take/?utm_source=newsletter) - [New ideas for seeing Washington, DC](https://view.ceros.com/tvc/club-traveler-fall-winter-2021/p/10?utm_source=clubtraveler&utm_medium=emc&utm_term=112021&utm_content=art4) - [Impatient passenger attacks another flyer](https://edition.cnn.com/2021/12/27/us/delta-passenger-allegedly-punches-fellow-passenger/index.html) - [A wonderful tribute to an amazing lady, Betty White](https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2021/12/31/betty-white-appreciation-tribute/?utm_campaign=wp_post_most&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_most&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F35a67d9%2F61d086019d2fda3f8b79b166%2F5a5e3dd6ae7e8a0f0340a906%2F10%2F72%2F61d086019d2fda3f8b79b166) - [The Best of Elka | Hot In Cleveland](https://fb.watch/agZRnL71Fd/) - [Information about Pre-Check](https://www.tsa.gov/) Tags: [air travel](https://travelguysradio.com/tag/air-travel), [airlines](https://travelguysradio.com/tag/airlines), [Carol Pucci](https://travelguysradio.com/tag/carol-pucci), [Charlie Leocha](https://travelguysradio.com/tag/charlie-leocha), [COVID-19](https://travelguysradio.com/tag/covid-19), [COVID travel](https://travelguysradio.com/tag/covid-travel), [COVID vaccine](https://travelguysradio.com/tag/covid-vaccine), [cruises](https://travelguysradio.com/tag/cruises), [JoeSentMe](https://travelguysradio.com/tag/joesentme), [smarter traveler](https://travelguysradio.com/tag/smarter-traveler), [travel news](https://travelguysradio.com/tag/travel-news), [Travelers United](https://travelguysradio.com/tag/travelers-united) Previous Episode: [National parks release 2022 list of free admission days](https://travelguysradio.com/2022/01/02/national-parks-release-2022-list-free-admission-days) — January 2, 2022 Next Episode: [Disney, Broadway and Hawaii are stepping up vaccination requirements](https://travelguysradio.com/2022/01/16/disney-broadway-and-hawaii-are-stepping-vaccination-requirements) — January 16, 2022 ## You Might Also Like… - [Delta Airlines offered passengers almost $10,000 to give up their seats](https://travelguysradio.com/2022/07/03/delta-airlines-offered-passengers-almost-10000-give-their-seats) — July 3, 2022 - [Government to back plan giving air travelers a baggage fee refund when bags arrive late](https://travelguysradio.com/2021/07/04/government-back-plan-giving-air-travelers-baggage-fee-refund-when-bags-arrive-late) — July 4, 2021 - [Hawaii is dropping quarantine for vaccinated travelers](https://travelguysradio.com/2021/06/27/hawaii-dropping-quarantine-vaccinated-travelers) — June 27, 2021
