- In the **Travel News**, we have an update on the around the world cruise offer we talked about a few weeks ago, and then there's the story of the college student who found it cheaper to commute from southern California to UC Berkeley by air.
- Mark shares an experience he had that left him grounded last week and pointed out the importance of having the **airline's app** on your cell phone.
- If you're a **camper**, we have a story for you. It's about a portable toilet you can take just about anywhere with you.
- **CLEAR** is a program at the airport that allows people to zip through security. But changes are coming and it might not be as quick as it used to be. We have an update.
