*On the Sunday, March 6th, 2022 edition of The Travel Guys…*

- In the **Travel News**, TSA says if you can't behave on the plane, there's no reason for your Pre-Check status to remain valid...hint, hint. There is a shortage of airplane mechanics within the industry right now, and it could become a factor in the busy summer season.
- We remind you to check any **travel vouchers** you have been issued in the last two years...because they might be about to expire. Mark has some ideas if you are in that spot, but only if you act BEFORE the voucher expires.
- The State of Nevada has released their "**Seven Weirdest Wonders**" list. We have a guest who talks about all seven, from the Clown Motel to the Alien Research Center.
