We’re in the heart of the summer travel season, so Gunnar and Kyle put together a Travel Survival Guide to help grease the wheels of your next trip.
The guys dig into the best ways to avoid delays and cancellations (including sharing their own worst delays), plus tell you all the apps, tools, and knowledge you should bring with you on your trip to make it go smoothly this summer or fall. They also cover TSA’s new (and drastically improved) shoe policy … and the insane thing CLEAR wants to charge you for now. Be sure to stick around for Gunnar’s bougiest travel take.
