On the Sunday, June 15th, 2014 edition of The Travel Guys… United Airlines is coming apart at the seams. Mark shares his experiences flying Friday and gives examples why the airlines is due for an overhaul from the top down, and why it needs to come soon. Sports Leisure Vacations, sponsor of The Travel Guys, turns 35. Tom asks Mark to reflect back on 35 years in the travel business. How is it changing? Where does it go from here? Would he recommend a career in the travel industry to a young entrepreneur? Most memorable moments? Most forgettable? Steve LaRosa, our "extra" Travel Guy, who always has the scoop on the most unusual local events, has details on the National Drum & Bugle Competition coming to Sacramento. It kicks off next Sunday at Hughes Stadium. In the travel news, we reveal how airlines regularly redraw international boundaries, but it seems only when it's to their benefit. We'll explain. Plus, we have a list of the most unusual ice cream flavors on the planet, just in time for summer. The weird part of your palate won't want to miss this one.

On the Sunday, June 8th, 2014 edition of The Travel Guys… Ben Schlappig of One Mile at a Time is not only one of our favorite travel bloggers, he's also an expert world traveler. Ben is homeless in an unusual way. He's changing addresses around the world every 2-4 weeks, and no longer has a home base. How many of us wish we could do that? Ben updates us on his most recent stops on the journey of a lifetime. Ever wish you could be at the Baseball Hall of Fame's annual induction ceremony in August? Maybe attend the World Series? Perhaps snag a ticket to the Super Bowl or any major sporting event? There's a company to help with that, Sports Tours and Travel. We introduce you to Jay Smith, who can take you to all those places. Mark and Tom share the things you SHOULD say to your flight attendant (as opposed to last week, when we share the list of things you shouldn't say).
On the Sunday, June 1st, 2014 edition of The Travel Guys… In the Travel News, Southwest Airlines is in trouble with the feds, for having advertised fares that don't exist. Mark asks, are Southwest's glory years behind or ahead of them? Ed Perkins stops by to talk about three pieces of consumer airline legislation. Which of the three are truly the best for you? Which one will protect YOU, which one won't? Finally, Mark has a special guest for us at 3:35, live from the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno. Lee Greenwood, who is originally from Sacramento, will be with Mark to talk about his upcoming concert at The Nugget, and his early days in our city.
On the Sunday, May 25th, 2014 edition of The Travel Guys… In the Travel News, Uber drivers in Seattle may be forming a union. Yes, that's right, the on line "hitch a ride" drivers may be forming a union. And Airbnb is feeling the long arm of the regulatory agencies as it tries to be a legitimate part of the travel community. Mark and Tom have all the details. Gwen Duncan is along with the Deal of the Week, which this week has to do with meal passes and packages inside Disneyland parks. Mark also has a tip on airfares to Hawaii at the end of the summer. A hint, it's the cheapest time of the year to travel to the islands. We open up the prize trunk and give away some goodies. Call us and tell us your favorite hotel chain, or just favorite place to stay and why. You might win a dining gift card.
