- In **The Travel News**, a nut allergy causes a major diversion over the Pacific and we ask if the airlines are cracking down on free, carry-on bags.
- On the **Smarter Traveler** segment, we talk about Southwest boarding passes. How do you get those coveted "A" boarding group assignments? Are they even available?
- The **City of Visalia** is becoming a haven for families with autistic members. It's one of the best stories of the year, about how a small town is making themselves more welcome to a special group of travelers.
- Many **over-the-counter medicines** which are legal in the US, are not legal or harder to get overseas. We talk about the importance of knowing that the meds you are carrying are legal in your destination.
