*On the Saturday, June 20th, 2026 edition of The Travel Guys…*

- In the **Travel News**, we explain why it’s not a good idea to touch flight attendants for ANY reason, and if you are making a summer road trip or just tooling around town, we’ll tell you what the experts say are the best and worst days of the week to buy gas.
- In our **Smarter Traveler** segment, we point out why it’s important to book directly with a hotel, airline, etc., as opposed to using a third party booking site.
- We have an interesting story about Marriott and their franchised hotels. It seems hotels are not happy about the reimbursement amounts for award stays and could very well have a dramatic effect on the value of your **Marriott Reward Points**.
- In our **Odds and Ends** piece, we tell you how United Airlines travelers can combine their points for a bigger reward; and with people visiting for the World Cup from around the world who aren’t used to tipping, how do you explain to them that adding 15-20% to the bill is an expectation.
