United Airlines sets record by using 100% sustainable fuel on flight

On the Sunday, December 5th, 2021 edition of The Travel Guys… Mark checks in from Gettysburg and Hershey, Pennsylvania, where he has 30 travelers in tow on a Christmas Mystery Tour. In the Travel News, United Airlines set an aviation record this week, using 100% sustainable aviation fuel to fly a scheduled flight. The fuel emits 75% less carbon dioxide. Adele is setting up residence in Las Vegas, weekends through April, and Sacramento may be getting a new airline, Airbahn. For the second week in a row, our Smarter Traveler segment focuses on contracts between travelers and travel companies. If you don't take the time to read them, don't cry later. Joe Brancatelli from JoeSentMe.com, one of Mark's favorite paid travel sites, has a take on the settlement between Pennsylvania and Marriott Hotel on the resort fee issue. As usual, Joe's opinion is a bit different from everyone else's. Tom talks to the folks from Imaginarium 360, the Christmas Lights Show at Cal Expo. Sounds like a cool place to visit during the holidays.

Clayton Returns with Tips for Surviving Long-Haul Travel

On the Sunday, March 3rd, 2019 edition of The Travel Guys… In The Travel News, Mark has a cute story about a grandmother who posed for a picture on a small iceberg....which was grand, until...grandma floated away! She was rescued by the Iceland version of the Coast Guard. Or maybe you heard the one about the man who threw coins in the engine of a Lucky Airlines plane for good luck. It didn't turn out to be very lucky for him. And then there's the reminder of what happens if you don't get back to your cruise ship on time. It leaves without you! Clayton Whitehead, one of our Road Reporters, was a guest in January before he departed with a group on a cruise in Australia and New Zealand. It was a long flight and a long cruise. We asked Clayton for his tips on that kind of grueling travel BEFORE he left. Now that he has safely returned, we want to know how his tips worked (and didn't work). A brand new commercial airport is opening north of Seattle Monday. It's Paine Field, home of Boeing. Twenty four flights a day, operated by Alaska and United, will serve the airport, just north of Seattle near Everett. Las Vegas is constantly adding new things to do as it pivots away from just being a gambling Mecca. The Cannabition Cannabis Museum is the latest.
