Flying can be a frustrating experience, but holiday travel tends to
shift our stress levels into overdrive. Overbooking, delays, lost
baggage, and long TSA lines are just the tip of the iceberg. Even
pricey membership services can't promise a completely efficient or
comfortable travel journey. With big price tags and the quality of
service seemingly going down, host Brittany Luse wondered: How did
we get here? To answer that question, aviation and travel
journalist Benét J. Wilson joins the show to give us a birds eye
view of the issues and why things may not be getting better anytime
soon.

Then, Brittany takes on one of the most recognizable stories in
Christmas lore - A Christmas Carol. To celebrate the iconic story,
she plays Spot the Scrooge with NPR critics Linda Holmes and Bob
Mondello.
