On the Saturday, December 6th edition of The Travel Guys…
- In the Travel News, travelers, in response to Transportation Secretary Duffy’s plea to dress better on flights, are showing up to the airport ready to fly in decidedly different attire; San Francisco has a new self-guided tour and Puget Sound has a new monument.
- Uber or Lyft? Many have a preference. Many also know of a simple ride share hack. We’ll tell you all about how to make it work for you in our Smarter Traveler segment.
- We talk about travel insurance or cancellation protection often on the program. It’s an important element of travel. Internationally known travel advocate Chris Elliott is here to tell us we might not need travel insurance on every trip.
- What are your pet peeves at the airport? Not enough rest rooms, barely edible food, no place to sit? We’ll grumble and complain about all the things we don’t like at airports.
