July 10, 2026 Egypt joins Turkey in banning the Gay charter on Virgin Voyages!
About this episode
The episode discusses recent travel news including bans on gay charters in Egypt and Turkey, JetBlue's new routes, and changes in Mexico's cruise policies.
No surprise here. JetBlue begins flying the old Spirit Airlines routes. Don't expect discount prices. The Guru plans to visit every historic bar in the Northeast this fall. The Mexican government changes its mind and will not allow cruise ships into the Loreto National Park. There has been no outcry from the cruise industry about the discrimination of gays by the countries of Egypt and Turkey. No surprise there either.
