On the Saturday, March 15th edition of the Travel Guys…

In the Travel News, driverless taxis got almost 600 tickets in San Francisco last year; and in the big story this week, Southwest Airlines is changing its long time two bags free policy and charging for baggage starting in late May.
When an airline offers a “Lifetime Benefit,” you would think that would be easy to define.

He also weighs in on the Southwest changes and a new book he has written, The Unauthorized Travel Manual: Secrets For a Smarter Trip From a Nationally Syndicated Columnist and Consumer Advocate.
We also took calls from listeners on the Southwest changes.
