On the Saturday, November 11th, 2023 edition of The Travel Guys… In the Travel News, United Airlines redesigns its frequent flyer program to put a heavier premium on the use of their credit cards, following American and Delta into the “we don’t care if you fly on our planes, as long as you use our credit cards” tunnel. Complaints about the airlines to the Department of Transportation (DOT) nearly doubled in the first part of 2023. Is the service from the airlines that bad, are the customers that grouchy or has something changed in the sky? In our Smarter Traveler segment we try and come up with the answer. The back half of the show features a version of “What’s Goin’ On Around Sacramento.” Jack Gallagher stops by to promote his show on December 9th at the B St. Theatre; there’s a really unique music festival at the Green Room Social Club in Placerville after Thanksgiving; and the Transcendence Theatre in Napa/Sonoma has a Broadway Christmas Show for you to attend in December. Sports Leisure Vacations even has a day trip package including brunch and the show (link on this page).
On the Sunday, August 14th, 2016 edition of The Travel Guys… Guest Josselyne Herman Saccio will tell us how to have a wonderful vacation at home while saving a lot of money. Sort of travel without the travel part. Or some great ideas for entertaining kids in the dog days of summer, you judge. Jessica Monsell is part of the team at Elliott.org, the leading consumer advocacy web site. (You see Chris' travel column in Sunday's Sacramento Bee.) She has discovered a way restaurant guests are being ripped off when they travel. In fact, this little scam rips you off at home AND on the road. Hear all about it in our alert on Ziosk's fun and games. Mark returns from a week exploring the "UP" of Michigan, an area most Californians will probably never see. Mark explains why this mostly unknown region should go to the top of your travel wish list. Plus the travel news reminds us why we always buckle up that seat belt in the sky.
