*On the Saturday, June 7th, 2025 edition of The Travel Guys…*

- In the **Travel News**, Carnival Cruise Lines is cracking down on troublemakers on board, and airlines are warning a new congressional bill could put your miles earning power in jeopardy. Their explanation is full of BS.
- Our **Smarter Traveler** segment addresses bogus texts some have received regarding toll fees you supposedly owe. "Just click here and everything will be fine." Or perhaps not. We'll talk about bogus toll texts.
- **Chris Elliott** checks in with us and updates his travels in Asia. Plus, we talk about how tourists are acting inappropriately all over the planet. Why? What can/should a traveler do if you encounter someone who is damaging a historical monument or other point of public interest?
- Doubling back to a story we talked about last week - some airlines were offering cheaper fares online if you were traveling with someone. Example: One ticket to Kansas City is $300. But if you buy two tickets, it's $50, or $225 each. **There is an update to the story**.
