Read previewA former TSA agent has revealed what not to do during air travel to avoid trouble both at the airport and on the plane. "The key is to listen to that first officer that you see past the ID check; they're going to tell you what to do," he said. Making sure you're alert can make the whole process easier. "Many people, they sit in those seats and they don't know that they are subject to helping when an emergency actually happens," he said. "There are clear pockets where they're not aware that they're about to hit and they can be very severe," he said.

In the summer of 2022, there were 41,498 flights from New York airports in which ATC staffing was a contributing factor in delays.

Minneapolis CNN —Ballpark attendance boomed this summer, Barbenheimer revived the box office and a Renaissance of live performances brought concerts into new Eras. However, it also could mean that holiday spending just might look a little different and skewed more toward experiences than it has done in past years. Respondents to KPMG’s 2023 holiday survey said they plan to spend 5% more this season, said Matt Kramer, KPMG’s consumer and retail national sector leader. “What stands out the most is this ‘leaning in’ to holiday travel and wanting to have those experiences with friends and family,” he said. A more comprehensive look at consumer spending will come at the tail end of the month when the Personal Consumption Expenditures data is released.
