This week on The Travel Detective: I’m going tell you the story of an airline that most of you have never heard about. And very few of you will even get to fly. But it’s definitely an airline you need to know about. That’s our cover story.

Plus, it was once the playground of celebrities like Charlie Chaplin and John Wayne. Today, it’s a special island getaway for everybody else. Just a boat ride away from Southern California. I’ll show you how to live like a local on Catalina Island.

And then, it’s a century-old property in west-central Florida. With grand architecture and some great stories to tell, starting with its improbable comeback. Our correspondent, Kerry Sanders, checks you in to the Vinoy Resort, a true hotel with a past.

All this and more on the next edition of The Travel Detective on PBS. Check your local listings.
