*On the Saturday, October 25th, 2025 edition of The Travel Guys…*

- In the Travel News, West Sacramento is getting into the tourism business and Amtrak has a special deal on overnight trains if you are traveling with a companion.
- Our Smarter Traveler segment shares five times when you probably want to consider purchasing an upgraded seat in economy on the plane.

Note: We cut out early at 11:30am in order to accommodate the start of the UC Davis football game.
