*On the Saturday, January 20th, 2024 edition of The Travel Guys…*

- In the **Travel News**, our former governor is in hot water over a watch he tried to bring into Germany; and Southwest is starting to add USB plug-ins to their planes. (About fr***ing time!)
- Our **Smarter Traveler** segment tells you how to avoid (and fight back against) ride-share overcharges. And Travelers United tells us about a great new resource for people who travel with assistive devices (canes, walkers, etc.). A link to it is available on this page.
- A former flight attendant offers up a list of **20 items for "Civil Travel"** on planes. Some of them are pretty interesting.
- Which airline has the most room in coach in the US? Jet Blue. But who is second is really a surprise. We run down the **leg room list** for all US carriers.
