*On the Sunday, August 7th, 2022 edition of The Travel Guys…*

- In the **Travel News**, Southwest Airlines has welcomed its first mother-daughter pilot team. The Department of Transportation is FINALLY ready to help you get refunds and performance from airlines, but they are putting part of the refund responsibility on the wrong people...travel agents/advisors.
- Our **Smarter Traveler** segment features a discussion about "who owns this hotel?" You thought you were staying at a Hilton Hotel. At least that's what it says on the sign. But are you protected by Hilton policies? Maybe not....
- A man is sitting in economy on **Jet Blue**. A first class passenger gives him an eye mask. The flight attendant says, "you can't do that, he's in economy." Yep, it really happened. We have the tape of the conversation. So who is right?
- In **entertainment news**, Bruce Springsteen fans are paying up, really up, for some of his upcoming concerts. "Dynamic pricing" is the answer. Or is it? And we have details on Portland's annual Naked Bike Ride.
