I got my bags packed on a roll heading out there and I'm ready to go looking real good

in my passport photo.

Amateur Traveler episode 347. Today the amateur traveler talks about

Will Debeas and Guinea fowl and the lions as we go to Kenya. Kenya. Welcome to the city one more cafe.

I know that I should be heading home, but maybe not, maybe not today.

Welcome to the Amateur Traveler. I'm your host Chris Christensen. Before we get

into this week's episode and this week's interview I do have two news stories

for you. In the first one you may remember the story from a little while

back about American Airlines seats getting loose on some of their flights. I

think we were mocking them that the good news was you had more legroom the bad

news was that it happened in the middle of the

flight. Well Spirit Airlines is also mocking American in their new ad that says,

We let low fares loose, not seats. One airline that's laughing a little less is Air France. Air France

was slapped with an $85,000 fee for violating the full fare advertising rules. And this is a new rule, I'm not sure if you're aware of it,

from the Department of Transportation

that when they advertise a fair,

the fair has to be the full fair that you would pay.

Now that doesn't count baggage fees. It has to

count all the airport taxes and other taxes that would be put on so it would be

how much money you would spend at least if you took no luggage. $85,000 doesn't seem like a big fine,

but at least they're putting some teeth

into that new regulation.
