*On the Saturday, July 26th, 2025 edition of The Travel Guys…*

- In the **Travel News**, Uber announced a new feature that let’s women riders be paired with women drivers, and likewise men with men; you still can’t take full water bottles through security at the airport...yet, and United Airlines has made some awesome additions to its app that will make airport connections a little easier.
- In our **Smarter Traveler** segment, we have a check-in list for your cruise ship cabin. Make certain you have what you need BEFORE the ship sails.
- Road reporter **Clayton Whitehead** just returned form Switzerland with a group and has a variety of tips, ideas and suggestions for your Swiss trip.
- Mark has also been on the road and offers reviews of **Fort Bragg** on the California Coast, and **Puget Sound**, one of the most beautiful areas in the country.
