<v Speaker 1>Jerry, Katy and Josh six one hundred.

<v Speaker 2>There is a story out this morning talking about what

<v Speaker 2>it would cost a family of for this summer to

<v Speaker 2>head out and have a good time. You are easily

<v Speaker 2>looking at a bill of just shy of seven thousand dollars,

<v Speaker 2>eight hundred and sixty one dollars. Yeah, exact.

<v Speaker 1>That seems about right, it does. I'm going on a

<v Speaker 1>couple of vacations and just me singular that you know tracks. Yeah, yeah,

<v Speaker 1>that's about right.

<v Speaker 2>Two thousand dollars for meals, two grand for hotel accommodations,

<v Speaker 2>couple grand for airfare, and then you go, you got

<v Speaker 2>souvenirs and whatnot in there. But yeah, you know, I

<v Speaker 2>mean we've been planning our little trip and I would

<v Speaker 2>think that's going to be right in the ballpark.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, to get out of town for a week. Well,

<v Speaker 1>and I'm lucky at both of my places at the destination,

<v Speaker 1>I already have a place to stay. I don't have

<v Speaker 1>to pay necessarily for lodging, and I'm still going to

<v Speaker 1>be racking up a bill like that.

<v Speaker 2>So yeah, thanks seeing little Yeah it costs to go relax,

<v Speaker 2>it sure does.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

<v Speaker 2>They did list out the top ten most expensive travel

<v Speaker 2>destinations in the US, and then the ten most affordable

<v Speaker 2>believe it or not. If you're heading out with your

<v Speaker 2>family to Anchorage, Alaska, that's the one that's gonna cost

<v Speaker 2>you the most, right up there in the upper six thousands.

<v Speaker 2>Then New York is on there are you going in your.

<v Speaker 1>I am going You're going to New York? Yeah, flying

<v Speaker 1>into Albany.

<v Speaker 2>Albany, Santa Barbara Key West is on the list of Miami,

<v Speaker 2>and then multiple locations throughout the islands of Hawaii.

<v Speaker 1>The most affordable.

<v Speaker 2>I had to laugh at this one. The first one

<v Speaker 2>is Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. It's gonna set you back for a

<v Speaker 2>family of four about thirty one hundred bucks. And I

<v Speaker 2>will tell you my dad growing.

<v Speaker 1>Up was a huge Civil War buck history.

<v Speaker 2>I was gonna say, history guy, mainly Civil War has

<v Speaker 2>all sorts of Civil War memorabilia and books and muskets

<v Speaker 2>and what you name it, black powder rifles and.

<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness, I imagine there's a lot of like

<v Speaker 1>reenact and since.

<v Speaker 2>My mom put down and would not let him do

<v Speaker 2>the remaxment because it was just so ridiculous at that point.

<v Speaker 2>But he's got a little hat and everything but growing up, man,

<v Speaker 2>we we traveled the out East a lot, going through

<v Speaker 2>a lot of Civil War battlefields for you, including Ysburg

<v Speaker 2>and boy, kids love looking at Civil War battlefield hill like, hey,

<v Speaker 2>another corn field.

<v Speaker 1>Yay, so that's where it happened. Yeah, I'm right there.

<v Speaker 2>Now they're growing corn, miles and miles of corn. But

<v Speaker 2>back in the eighteen Clearwater, Florida's on there, Glendale, Arizona,

<v Speaker 2>Branson's on there. That's another one. My parents dragged me

<v Speaker 2>to Branson, Miss mic even. Oh my god, it was

<v Speaker 2>all these old acts from like the fifties. Oh my god,

<v Speaker 2>it was so bad.

<v Speaker 1>It sounds horrible.

<v Speaker 2>So we've been on so many boring family trips.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah anyway, Yeah, well I agree with you there. But

<v Speaker 1>when it comes to saving money, I do have a

<v Speaker 1>tip for you where you can save money, at least

<v Speaker 1>on the plane. And this is something I don't think

<v Speaker 1>you would have thought of. You know, the baggage fees

<v Speaker 1>that airlines are, you know, charging everyone. Now you can

<v Speaker 1>save a little money on that with your pillowcase. More well,

<v Speaker 1>you can bring a pillow on a plane, right Like

<v Speaker 1>they don't count it. They don't count it as like

<v Speaker 1>one of your pieces of luggage. So they say, you

<v Speaker 1>can take that pillow and fill it with soft clothes

<v Speaker 1>like your jeans, your t shirts. You know, if you

<v Speaker 1>have an extra blanket in your luggage or something that

<v Speaker 1>you need, and you know, if you pack it right,

<v Speaker 1>you can make it look like a pillow and it

<v Speaker 1>can get you in and you can save some money,

<v Speaker 1>because again, bags are costing like fifty bucks and you

<v Speaker 1>can imagine filling a pillowcase with all of those clothes.

<v Speaker 1>That's a good idea, except flight attendants are looking for

<v Speaker 1>things like this. Now. I found this on TikTok and

<v Speaker 1>it's trending on TikTok right now because again, baggage fees

<v Speaker 1>are so ridiculous. But fly attendants are being trained now

<v Speaker 1>to look at social media and see the trending little

<v Speaker 1>tips and hacks for flying so that they can counteract them.

<v Speaker 1>Because that's the thing is. Well, they're like, we have

<v Speaker 1>baggage restrictions and weight restrictions for a reason, like the

<v Speaker 1>standard pillow isn't going to weigh more than what a

<v Speaker 1>pound or two? Yeah, and if everybody does that able

<v Speaker 1>to take off the still exactly, And they said that

<v Speaker 1>you shouldn't really try this because you know those travel pillows,

<v Speaker 1>those they will let on, no problem, but a standard pillow.

<v Speaker 1>A lot of flight attendants, you're bringing a body pillow,

<v Speaker 1>they'll flag that. They'll be like, we don't allow that

<v Speaker 1>on the plane. We're going to have to charge you

<v Speaker 1>extra for it. So people trying to avoid charges, this

<v Speaker 1>may not work out for you, So just beware. It's

<v Speaker 1>trending on TikTok right now, but not everything that's trending

<v Speaker 1>is actually going to help you out.

<v Speaker 2>Like a hobo jumping on.

<v Speaker 1>Oh josh, if you can afford to fly private, you

<v Speaker 1>don't need a TikTok hack. You're right, you're right, you're right, man,

<v Speaker 1>that's funny.

<v Speaker 2>Was that it? That's the only hack you So there's

<v Speaker 2>a few other.

<v Speaker 1>Ones also, more not even just hacks, but things flight

<v Speaker 1>attendants are saying, like because this is the busy travel season, right,

<v Speaker 1>so water bottles. I didn't even think about this, but

<v Speaker 1>apparently flight attendants are getting a lot of passengers who

<v Speaker 1>come in with empty water bottles and then ask them

<v Speaker 1>to fill them, and they're like, please don't do that,

<v Speaker 1>Please fill your water bottle before you get on.

<v Speaker 2>Well, you shouldn't be drinking the plane on the water

<v Speaker 2>on the plane exactly.

<v Speaker 1>And then they're saying they only have so much water,

<v Speaker 1>and so when somebody comes and asks to fill their

<v Speaker 1>sixty four ounce hydro flask, they're like, we only have

<v Speaker 1>so much, you know, especially like per flight they're only

<v Speaker 1>allowed to carry bacteria exact water, saying you want, but

<v Speaker 1>they said, they get a lot of people who will

<v Speaker 1>get on the plane with empty water bottles and filling.

<v Speaker 1>So just one more thing to think when you're getting

<v Speaker 1>on the plane. And then there's another TikTok hack right

<v Speaker 1>now where people will buy the very back seats of

<v Speaker 1>a plane and then when it lands, they'll run to

<v Speaker 1>the front so they can get so they have like

<v Speaker 1>they'll buy the back seat so they have a clear

<v Speaker 1>path to run, and then they'll run up to the

<v Speaker 1>front before anybody gets up so they can be the

<v Speaker 1>first ones off the plane. And again, these are all

<v Speaker 1>things people see on TikTok and they think they can

<v Speaker 1>get away with it. And flight attendants are coming out

<v Speaker 1>in the saying, please don't make my job harder. I

<v Speaker 1>don't want to have to tackle you.

<v Speaker 2>I don't get they want to be the first off

<v Speaker 2>the plane, and they don't want to pay for their

<v Speaker 2>vacation exactly.

<v Speaker 1>They want. I don't get the people who stand up

<v Speaker 1>when the plane. I know, it's just relax exactly. We're

<v Speaker 1>all here for the next couple of minutes, four minutes exactly.

<v Speaker 1>So I just, yeah, these these are sit down Tina,

<v Speaker 1>all the seats. Yeah, But I just I think it's

<v Speaker 1>because I'm about to go on a flight that all

<v Speaker 1>of these things are popping up on my you know, feed,

<v Speaker 1>just to get me prepared for flight travel.

<v Speaker 2>I like this one from a former flight attendant. Her

<v Speaker 2>story is going viral for saying that you should let

<v Speaker 2>parents with babies board last and not first, because you

<v Speaker 2>see that a lot parents with strollers and small children

<v Speaker 2>get on first. Her advice is simple, board last, sit down,

<v Speaker 2>and then you take off within a few minutes, so

<v Speaker 2>you're not having to sit there while they board the

<v Speaker 2>rest of the plane. And then you've got maybe a

<v Speaker 2>baby that's just a little easier to take care of.

<v Speaker 2>I guess when you're boarding last and boom, a little

<v Speaker 2>less time on the plane. I don't know.

<v Speaker 1>That seems like a decent that's smart, that's smart.

<v Speaker 2>Some parents are fighting against it, though, saying that it's

<v Speaker 2>easier to go on first because you've got more stuff,

<v Speaker 2>and it's going to be easier to grab an overhead

<v Speaker 2>bin and space and not feel so rushed by going

<v Speaker 2>on first.

<v Speaker 1>Place for parents, boom, there you do, there you go,

<v Speaker 1>you go. Well, And I know now that Southwest does

<v Speaker 1>the assigned seating, this is going to be as big

<v Speaker 1>of an isiation because I know that's why people wanted

<v Speaker 1>to get on first so they could get the best seats. Right,

<v Speaker 1>But now that that's not a thing. Yeah, try breastfeeding.

<v Speaker 2>It was horrible.

<v Speaker 1>It is so inconvenient, and you have to because their

<v Speaker 1>little ears need to pop. And so when you're flying

<v Speaker 1>like you need their ears to pop. And that's how

<v Speaker 1>you make them is they need to be sucking on

<v Speaker 1>something to make their ears pop. So you have to.

<v Speaker 2>Think of the same thing.

<v Speaker 1>Okay, sometimes I forget who I'm talking to.
