- In the **Travel News**, Venice, the city that began charging visitors a surcharge to enter the city in 2024, is expanding the program next year; and we'll tell you where Sacramento landed on a list of "Most Fun Cities." You will be surprised at the answer.
- For many years, European flyers have benefited from a plan which gives them refunds (EU Regulation 261) when an airline has a huge delay or cancels a flight (under certain conditions). It holds the airlines accountable when they are responsible. Now, the departing Biden administration has suggested a similar system in the U.S. We'll talk about the concept. But know this - **the airlines are already against it**.
- What if you had two or three small children and wanted to explore the planet? That's exactly what Jessica Gee and her husband did. Then she wrote a book. Stories of **traveling with kiddos** and tips on how to survive the effort highlight our interview with Jessica.
- **Odds & Ends** include updates on two previous stories - "pineapple dating" (on cruise ships) and "check-in chicken" (for airline flights), along with some Christmas gift ideas for the traveler in your life.
