- In the **Travel News**, The Netherlands airport is cutting the number of flights it handles daily, in an effort to help global warming. An off duty pilot helps in an emergency on board a Southwest plane, and American Airlines wants its flight attendants to be in uniform when on duty.
- Once again we have a story about a passenger leaving something on a plane and having that item turn up in the possession of an airline employee or contractor. Our **Smarter Traveler** segment discusses the idea of putting air tags in your bags and on other important personal items to protect against theft.
- Clayton Whitehead is head of International Travel at **Sports Leisure Vacations**. Like US destinations last year, popular international spots are experiencing a post-COVID boom. We talk to Clayton about the return on international travel and what he sees looking forward. Will the boom continue?
- Mark has an edition of the **Weird Travel News**, with stories highlighting a weirdly shaped shrub in Portland and why some travelers are nicknamed "gate lice" by airline employees.
