*On the Saturday, February 10th, 2024 edition of The Travel Guys…*

- In the **Travel News**, Boeing's planes are back in the sky, but would you fly on one (hint there have been very few cancellations)? Protesters have blocked the train tracks leading into Machu Pichu in Peru, keeping tourists from visiting.
- You are considering taking a cruise. Friends and/or family have decided to join you. Sounds wonderful, right? Sounds like a situation that will thrive with some advance planning and open discussion. Mark and Tom talk about how to take a cruise with first-time traveling friends and survive with your relationships intact. All part of our **Smarter Traveler** segment.
- The president's war on **junk fees** has had little impact. He's tackling family seating on planes now, and could potentially have more success.
- Our **odds and ends** segment features a story about a group that thinks they have found the remains of Amelia Earhart's plane on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. And Senator Ted Cruz wants more secure airport experiences for lawmakers. Private screenings included. But he may have some alternative reasons for his wish list. We'll discuss Cancun Cruz.
