This Sunday, on the April 22nd edition of The Travel Guys. In the Travel News, Alaska Airlines has modified their non-service animal pet policy and Marriott has announced details of the new rewards program, post-Starwood merger. The news is great if you stay at Marriott/Starwood a LOT. Not so good if you don’t. Steve LaRosa is on hand with an updated “What's Going on” segment. He features the Sacramento Film Festival and has a very special guest. Mark has spent the last 10 days on a journey on the eastern half of Route 66, and he offers interviews with step-on guide John Weiss and Miami, OK, tourism folks. Mark also shares his thoughts about a Great American Road Trip.

Posted Sunday, April 8th, 2018 In the Travel News, Mark tells us about a great new Southwest promotion and has two stories about travelers where something went really wrong. One on an airplane and one in a hotel. A Canadian man is being asked to pay $13,500 after his plane was diverted, and another man was banned from a hotel for 17 years after birds ransacked his hotel room. Clayton Whitehead is sitting in for Tom this week, and he and Mark engage in a lively discussion about the pros and cons of Travel Insurance. Some decline the coverage, but are quick to complain when their personal emergency results in lost $$$. We will tell you how you can become an intern this summer for the Music Circus. The Capitolaires, Sacramento's oldest Barbershop Singing Group, are having a spring show on April 28 and we have tickets to give away. Info on the show can be found here.

On the March 18th edition of The Travel Guys... In the Travel News, Mark takes time to break down the Year of the Dog at United Airlines. The good folks at United sent a dog home to Kansas from Japan in a PRIVATE JET, then diverted another plane to deliver a dog that had been routed wrong. Mark and Tom have their own personal takes on the situation and they might surprise you. Tom and Steve LaRosa recently ate their way through Milagros, Sacramento's latest culinary heaven, and they have a report. Finally, we take a trip to Legoland in SoCal, to learn about the new things coming to the popular family theme park.

On the March 11th edition of The Travel Guys.... In the Travel News, upscale Ubers and Lyfts in NYC will soon be getting those obnoxious TV screens in the back of the car; and we have a strong warning for those of you who rent cars without knowing the company you are renting from. Ed Perkins, longtime consumer reporter and advocate, joins us to talk about the ever looming subject of "customized" airfares. You know, when you log online and check out a fare, and then 20 minutes later you go back to buy it and the fare has gone up $20? Those kind of customized airfares. Are they legal? Ed shares his expertise. Richard Lewis, the Grand Pubah of all things musical theater in our town, stops by to tell us about an upcoming show, An American in Paris, and offers up a special prize package for a Travel Guys listener. Finally, we talk to Jen Ruiz, author of JenOnaJetPlane.com. Jen talks about her own philosophy towards travel and life and explains what prompted her to start a travel blog.
