On the Sunday, October 9th, 2016 edition of The Travel Guys… This Sunday (October 9) on The Travel Guys, with both Mark and Tom away from home all week and unable to record a new live program, we offer an outstanding "best of" program. Mark has also added a current edition of the travel news, including some words of wisdom for anyone traveling into the hurricane Matthew impacted area in the next couple of weeks.
Our favorite consumer advocates Chris Elliott and Ed Perkins are on hand to make you smarter travelers, and we reprise an interview with the great Wayne Newton from earlier this year. A spectacular combination of travel information and entertainment, just what The Travel Guys have become known for.
The guys will be back with a brand new live program next Sunday.
On the Sunday, October 2nd, 2016 edition of The Travel Guys… This Sunday (October 2) on The Travel Guys, Mark and Tom tackle a topic important to many travelers, getting assistance in the airport. But specifically, getting assistance for handicapped or disabled travelers and how the airlines are doing such a poor job of providing service, they are in increasing trouble with the Department of Transportation and with their customers. While only a small percentage of travelers need a wheelchair or a cart in a airport, a much greater number of travelers travel with or know someone needing that assistance. It's an important subject. If they wheel grandma away and she doesn't make her plane and you can't find her, what happens next? Reporter Jessica Monsell, our Travel Gal, explains the challenges and what we can do to be smarter travelers.
In the Travel News, a new website says it offers the best of both Airbnb and hotels; Gwen Duncan is here to finish her two-parter on international train travel and Rancho Cordova is honoring the historic Lincoln Highway through their community next Sunday, and the mayor of the city joins us to tell you all about it!
This Sunday (Sept. 25), on The Travel Guys, you'll get a great dose of entertainment AND come away a smarter traveler. In the Travel News, Mark explains a small new benefit for Southwest frequent flyers; then Ed Perkins stops by to explain how you should respond when your bag isn't on the carousel after your flight, and what to do if you are involuntarily "bumped" from a flight.
At the bottom of the hour the guys are joined by Dan Mitchinson, Morning News Co -Anchor at KFBK. Dan reflects on his recent trip to Ireland, and offers some advice for those considering a trip to the Land of Leprechauns.
Finally, Tom has his annual interview with the gang from TSO, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, to talk about their holiday season appearance at the new arena downtown.
This Sunday (September 18) on The Travel Guys, we focus on the new TSA office in Sacramento and the roll out of the 2017 tour and vacation schedule for show sponsor Sports Leisure Vacations.
