On the edition of The Travel Guys…
- In the Travel News, the big story is the mandatory reduction of flights by the FAA. Mark flew trough Chicago Friday and has a report. We also have some insight about which flights are being canceled and what you can expect if your flight is canceled.
- In our Smarter Traveler segment, we discuss how hotels are following airlines by unbundling services. A new trend is charging you to park a car regardless of whether you actually have a car. That's right, pay for parking even though you have no vehicle. The nickel-and-dime your customer battle enters a new phase.
- The second half of the program is dedicated to an interview with Sacramento Kings Broadcaster Gary Gerould. Gary travels more than most people, doing his job as a play-by-play man. He'll share lots of stories with us, including life on the road and how he came to be the voice of the Kings.
