On the **Sunday, June 11th **edition of The Travel Guys…
In the Travel News, Southwest Airlines extends its schedule into January, a local congressman offers his office’s help in getting your passport and soon it will cost you a toll to drive in mid and downtown Manhattan.
One of Mark’s staff recently had a suitcase lost by United Airlines. We talk about the “lost bag” experience, and give you some tips on what to do if it happens to you in our** Smarter Traveler** portion of the show.
Trip Advisor is deleting some reviews, and has a strange way of justifying it. We talk a little about the value (or lack of value) of online reviews.
A list is out of which US airport are the most and least expensive to fly out of. Sacramento isn’t on either list, but is on another list that isn’t such good news for local flyers.
Could you soon be flying in double-decker seats or laying in** bunk beds** in ECONOMY class? Links to both stories on this page.
