Episode 35: United, I Really Want to Stop Talking About You…But…

Welcome to Season 2 of the Travel Quips Podcast!  We’ve done a little bit of rebranding (yes, Reyna Simone and Queen Simone are the same person); we talk about the aftermath of Hurricane Florence, new TSA carry-on limits, and increased check bag fees.  And Reyna answers a question about how to handle ticketing agents when your flight is overbooked or delayed.

Parts of North Carolina and South Carolina are still reeling in the days after Hurricane Florence.  If you are interested in helping out those communities, here are some ways to do so:

World Central Kitchen:  this is one of my favorite charities.  They provide meals to those in need—and have a stellar record of helping in the aftermath of disasters (they’ve served 3.6 million meals in Puerto Rico since last year!)  https://www.worldcentralkitchen.org/donate

American Red Cross:  The Red Cross is known for helping people and responding to disasters.  https://www.redcross.org/donate/hurricane-florence-donations.html/
