This Sunday, on the February 2nd edition of The Travel Guys... In the Travel News, we'll tell you how you can win a cruise while you are watching the Super Bowl; why the super cold weather they experienced in the east last week is really bad for your phone; and a British newspaper issues a warning about a possible eruption at Mt. St. Helens. But the warning is 15 years old. * In our Smarter Traveler segment, Mark explains why the first flight of your outbound trip should be the longest flight. Logic: The closer you are to your final destination, the more options there are to get there (more frequent flights, trains, buses, rental cars - all may come into play when you are 400 miles from your destination, but may not when you are 1,000 miles away). The guys talk about a new list of the most ethical places to visit. The Travel Morality Index, found here, is the subject of the conversation. Finally, the guys dig into the travel mailbag to answer some of your questions. If you have a question for Tom and Mark, fill out the form below.
