On the edition of The Travel Guys…
- In the Travel News, the US is getting ready for the World Cup this year and the six million visitors who are coming – if they can get in the country; and United Airlines is returning to Greenland next summer.
- In our Smarter Traveler segment, we have some passport reminders for you. And if you STILL don’t have a Real ID, TSA now has a policy to get you through security. Not a FREE policy, but at least a way to pay to get on the plane.
- We pose the question, would you, or have you, let AI book your flights? Our buddy Chris Elliott has penned a column talking about just that. Chris isn’t here in person, but we’ll share his insights with you.
- Our Odds and Ends portion of the program has some insight from a Travel Guys listener about booking your cabin on a cruise ship; And we take a look at what travel experts see in their crystal ball for 2026.
