This week's air travel updates highlight U.S. Customs and Border Protection's initiative to streamline the processing for international passengers connecting to domestic flights. Testing with American Airlines could eliminate the hassle of rechecking luggage unless flagged for further inspection. In addition, a promotion by Alaska Airlines, a merger between regional carriers, and surveys on TSA PreCheck experiences were among other significant developments. The industry sees shifts, including new lounges and facility relocations at key airports like Denver and Portland, as airlines navigate changes in business models and security protocols.
