Episode Description

On this episode of MTM Travel Shawn and Mark are joined by Joe Cheung to discuss the recent Southwest Airlines devaluation that was a shock to everyone. What has Southwest changed and what does it mean for loyal Southwest fliers? Is this the death of uniqueness in corporate America and will Southwest be worth flying after these changes?

We also discuss Daylight Saving Time and its effect on everyone as we debate eliminating it. Finally we finish with a preview of Epic Universe in Orlando, why you might want to visit and why Universal is making big moves at a time when Disney is cutting back.
