*On the Saturday, April 6th, 2024 edition of The Travel Guys…*

- In the **Travel News**, Jet Blue raises bag fees in a whole new "got your wallet" way, United suddenly has too many pilots and the Eclipse was on Monday and millions of people traveled to see it.
- Everyone has heard the story about the cruise ship passengers whose ship left without them last week. They ranted and raved about how terrible it was, but **where does the fault really lie**?
- **Music Circus** starts a new season of Theater-in-the-Round in two months. Scott Klier joins us to talk about the schedule of shows and give us a few behind the scenes tidbits.
- Getting through security is a big part of flying. Our TSA partners in Sacramento stop by to give us some tips on summer travel and tell us when the self-serve and other **TSA technology** might be coming to Sacramento.
