Steve Perillo continues his conversation with Rudy Maxa in the second part of the Perillo Travel Show. Rudy Maxa had predicted earlier in humor that airlines in future would be charging for amenities such as blankets and pillows too, which later came true.

According to Rudy Maxa airlines that charge for everything separately are more transparent than those that advertise lower costs without including other charges. Though the fare seems less initially, in the end, with the inclusion of surcharges or airline security charges, it turns out to be much more than expected.

Further on the show, Rudy Maxa also talks about his favorite place and the country that has the most beautiful women.
