On the Saturday, February 8th, 2025 edition of The Travel Guys… In the Travel News, Delta Airlines is partnering with Draft Kings and You Tube to offer in flight gaming, coming soon to a flight near you. Here's a thought: Canadians spend more money in our country as tourists than travelers from ANY OTHER DESTINATION; and now they are talking seriously about cutting back on travel to their previously friendly neighbor as the result of tariff talks. American Airlines is rumored to be on the verge of a crackdown on carry-on bags. You know, the ones that are WAY too big to meet the sizing requirement and take up a lot of overhead bin space. Yeah, THOSE bags. This may not have a pretty ending. More in our Smarter Traveler segment. Our friend Ned Levi from Travelers United joins us to share his tips about picking a cabin on a cruise ship. It's one of our most informative interviews of all time, as Ned talks about inside vs. outside, protecting yourself from motion sickness, noise on board and all sorts of things a veteran cruiser like Ned can share to help you select your cabin. Tom gets Mark to share his thoughts on a variety of travel questions, everything from the impact of tariffs to some of his favorite haunts.

On the Saturday, December 14th, 2024 edition of The Travel Guys… In the Travel News, Mexico and the U.K. are creating new junk fees to trap travelers; and Delta confirms what top level frequent flyers already know, airlines are selling a much higher percentage of first class seats these days (meaning fewer complimentary upgrades for those top tier travelers). TSA officials at Sacramento International have shared a few tips for holiday travel. The most important is, make sure your bag is empty when you start to pack. Seems simple, but when someone has a prohibited item in their bag, the answer is always "I didn't know that was in there." Check your bag before you pack it. The mailbag is full of your questions and our answers. There were so many questions, we are offering an extended mailbag section in the back half of the program.

On the Saturday, August 17th, 2024 edition of The Travel Guys… In the Travel News, West Jet of Canada had nearly two dozen planes suffer damage in a hail storm in Calgary, and some of the planes will be out of service for a while (if you are flying in Canada on a Delta flight number, double check, it could be a West Jet flight). There's a drive underway to re-name the Sutter Buttes, and we'll tell you why. Plus, Frontier Airlines starts flights to San Diego and LAX. Many of us use ridesharing. Uber, Lyft, whatever your choice, there are some basic guidelines and safety rules to follow. Our Smarter Traveler segment shares some of them. Albania is one of Europe's best kept secrets. Our Travel Gal, Sydney, joins us to tell you about this mostly undiscovered country, and she'll even give you some ideas on how to see Albania. Our Odds and Ends section features everything from a new way to get to the Sacramento airport, to the question "Would you pay more to pick the gender of the person you are sitting next to on the plane?" One airline is betting the answer is yes.

On the Saturday, August 3rd, 2024 edition of The Travel Guys… In the Travel News, Delta says the computer meltdown may cost it half a BILLION dollars; and Disneyland averts a strike by park workers with a new contract. Restaurants have a new way for you to pay. Imagine not having to wait for your check, just paying when you want, and walking out the door. But is this new system a plus or a minus for diners? The airline industry and their lobbying group (Airlines for America) are doing everything they can to keep from following new rules about disclosing the REAL cost of travel. We'll explain who the good guys and the bad guys are in this story. The Travel Guys are welcoming a new Travel Gal, Sydney Schellinger. She has an interesting connection to a "poodle," and Sydney will be a regular contributor to the program, filling us in on bargains and adventure travel for our younger listeners.
