Starting today, airline advertising must include all mandatory fees and taxes when quoting fares. No more $50 fares that wind up costing $400 after all the fees and taxes are added.

The TSA has started using advanced imaging machines at 25 more airports.

Happy Australia Day to all of our friends from “Down Under”!!!!!!!
