On the Saturday, May 24th edition of the Travel Guys…
- In the Travel News, a brand new super-theme park opened in Orlando; and the Trump tariffs are not only impacting vacationers from other countries, business travel to the US is off even more dramatically in the past couple of months. A lot of lost dollars for our economy.
- Important note for Southwest travelers. If you make a reservation after Tuesday the 27th, you will NOT receive two free bags, regardless of when you travel. Update in our Smarter Traveler segment.
- The Travel Guys slip into the entertainment world from time to time, because entertainment is such a big part of travel. Theater venues outside of New York City have struggled to survive post-COVID, and Mark addresses the importance of supporting your favorite arts group now more than ever.
- Our Odds and Ends segment features a heads up on a new cruise scam on the internet, an update on an interesting battle shaping up at the Chicago Airport between American and United, and Mark shares his pet peeves on hotel rooms (including those sliding bathroom doors and “smoked” ones you can still see through; plus the lack of updated charging facilities in rooms).
