• 1:03
  Speaker 1: you're an aisle. You know, you're a emergency exit. You
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: have to confirm that. And and I'm walking on almost
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: on the jetway. And Edie goes, come in, come in,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: come in.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: And she was so nice. But for a minute, it
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: startled me.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I thought you were in trouble.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I was in trouble.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: She wanted to say hi because she had been in
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: a meeting and was trying to get to you before,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: She couldn't get to you as early as she wanted to.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Well, United Airlines, you're doing pretty good. You are number
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: four on time. American Airlines, number five. Southwest Airlines, number six.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Frontier Airlines, number seven. JetBlue is on time 59.7% of
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: the time. So 77% is number one. 59.7% is number eight.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: It's a big difference right there.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: That's a big drop-off, yeah. We're doing international for United.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, wait, tell everybody where you're going. Have you talked
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: about it on the air yet?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I haven't, because we just.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Have we talked about it on the air yet?
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: We kind of did.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Oh, right, right, well, you're a travel agent.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, Kelly. We love you, Kelly. Kelly Brennan, our travel agent.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: We talked again last night, and we solidified the plan,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: so boom, it's happening again. I fell in love with
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: the German Christmas markets last year. So we're going back
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to Cologne.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: In December.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: So you're flying Newark to Cologne.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Newark to, we have to go to Munich.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, you've changed in Munich? Yes.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: And then go to Cologne. It's like Cologne. Like the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: way Americans.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Say it, it's like cologne. Right, we say cologne. Yeah,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: But the airport in Munich has its own Christmas market,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: by the way. So we have a big layover when
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: we're there.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Oh, I remember you telling me about this.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: You were wondering if maybe you could leave the airport
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: or is the Christmas market within the airport?
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: It's within the airport.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: So you don't have to leave, go past security.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: You don't have to leave, but it's like where my
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: relatives met me last year. So I'm wondering if that's
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: a part, like we're already checked in, you know, like we're.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: We're already through security because we're transferring from one flight
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: to another.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: And your luggage is moving, too.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: And the luggage is moving. So are we going to
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: be able to go out and play for a little bit?
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: And I'm hoping maybe my relatives can meet us there.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Or are we going to be like stuck at the gate?
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: And then we go to Cologne because it was just
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: so their Christmas markets were a dream. The Angel Market
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: is so beautiful. And then after that, we go to Vienna.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Man, that's a good trip right there.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And what are you bringing us back? What would you
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: guys like?
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: What did I bring last year?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: You always do good gifts.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Some chocolates. Did I bring you chocolates last year?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you did.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Kristen, I brought you, I know, a little Nutcracker, the
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: little Nutcracker cup. Because Eric and I are big fans
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: of Glühwein. Glühwein? Yeah, it's mulled wine. It's hot wine.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's what I want. Yes.
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I can't bring back that. Yes. But I can bring
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: back the little mugs they come in because they're all
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: like collectible. Like each market has its own mug and
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: they're just so, so cute.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Seriously, no pressure. But I do love alcohol if you
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: can get it in here.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: You have to be there when they warm it up.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: But maybe if I could bring back, I wonder if
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: they sell like the spices and you can make your own.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I'll look for it. All right. December, a trip to remember,
