On the Sunday, June 3rd edition of The Travel Guys…

In the Travel News, Southwest Airlines decides once a week non-stop to New Orleans isn’t enough, and announces that starting in November, daily non-stops will begin to the Crescent City.  Southwest is also adding a Sunday non-stop to Houston’s Hobby Airport, as our air service from Sacramento continues to improve.

Steve LaRosa is on hand to share one of his What’s Going On segments.  Steve gives us ideas on things to do close to home.

Many Travel Guys listeners are travelers to the islands of Hawaii.  And many of you have been asking, is it safe to go?  We talk with native Big Islander Jim Reddekopp of Hawaiian Vanilla to get the local scoop.  Jim lives on the north end of the Big Island and his gives us an update on volcano conditions and what the future might hold.  The good news: the outlook is bright.

We’ll take time to ask YOU what your favorite airline to fly from Sacramento is, do you belong to their Frequent Flyer program, have you ever earned and redeemed an award, will you consider flying low-fare Frontier Airlines when they return to Sacramento; those are some of the questions we’ll be asking.  One of our contributors in the segment will win a $25 Gift Card from Whole Foods Markets.
