*On the Saturday, December 2nd, 2023 edition of The Travel Guys…*

- In the **Travel News**, the postponement of a Taylor Swift concert causes an airline to change its rules, and a Southwest pilot who is part of the group asking to strike "warns" flyers about the upcoming holiday season.
- **Renting a car** at an airport is an invitation to wasted time and hassle. Mark violated one of his own rental car rules last week and it could end up costing him some $$$. He reminds you what to do before and after your car rental, and throws in an idea for renting that could save you some cash.
- The **Fox River Train** has a special family-orientated Christmas package. And their sister train in Willits takes you to see the World's Tallest Christmas Tree. We have details and there's a link in our list.
- We answered a ton of questions from our **mailbag**, including TSA renewals, and what to do if your Pre-Check clearance isn't on your boarding pass. We also touched on charging electric cars on the road (again, a couple of links can be found on the right or below) and a host of other subjects.
