- In the **Travel News**, TSA is rolling back a new program that allowed people through security without a plane ticket, and numbers show a record number of Americans are going on cruises in 2027.
- United Airlines is the latest to slow down the generosity of their Rewards Program. In our **Smarter Traveler** segment, we'll talk about the changes most all of the programs are making. Despite how they try to spin it, it's NOT good news.
- Mark spent nine days out on **Route 66** the last two weeks, and will share his adventure and give you a few must stops if you ever plan a trip on The Mother Road. Plus, there's a new airport in Southern California and Mark has a review.
- **Odds and Ends** includes an update on a new perk for those flying standby on the United app and word on Frontier's new first class section.
