Key West residents vote to limit cruise ship traffic

On the Sunday, November 8th, 2020 edition of The Travel Guys… In the Travel News, Southwest Airlines tells a passenger she isn't covering enough of her body, removed her from the plane and then relents, but only with a qualification.

Are they the first of many to tell cruise ships to sail on by?

Live from New York Times Travel Show: New Travel Gadgets, Experiences and More!

On the Sunday, January 26th, 2020 edition of The Travel Guys… In the Travel News, a new bill in Congress might mean another step towards the end of resort/destination fees at hotels; and Chinese travelers have stopped coming. What does that mean for the businesses who catered to them? Once a year we dedicate a program to interviews gathered at the New York Times Travel Show. With an attendance of over 30,000 in three days, it is the largest show for travelers in the country. We have seven live reports. Mark loves travel gadgets, and he talks with a company which allows you to create your own suitcase, and another with an airplane comfort “mat” which might actually help with those miserable coach airline seats. We take you to Plymouth, MA, to talk about the 400th anniversary of the landing of the pilgrims;  it’s off to Poland for a culinary tour; to Gander, Newfoundland - the town found in the popular musical “Come From Away;” and you get to go with us on a safari in Africa.
