Avelo's first loyalty program is coming ... but so are change fees

Budget airlines are often quick to pull the plug on routes that aren't drawing enough customers to fill planes and make money — and that's certainly the case with Avelo Airlines' latest network cuts.

As the busy summer travel season approaches, travelers have a new way to save time. TSA PreCheck, a security program established by the Transportation Security Administration, helps travelers zip through security lines with ease. Members are entitled to a special screening line, and don't have to remove their shoes or laptops from their bag, providing a time-saving shortcut in airport security lines. With more than 20 million members, the program has become a popular subscription for travelers.  For those looking to become members, but have previously been unable to find the time to schedule the appointment, several pop-ups in New York City this spring can provide the opportunity.  The TSA's authorized enrollment provider Telos Corporation will host two inaugural enrollment events at the concourse of Rockefeller Center, and inside the MetLife Building near Grand Central Station from March 25, 2025 through March 29, 2025.

The sun had begun its leisurely descent over Bodrum Town on a September afternoon when I started going back over my list, making sure I hadn’t missed anything. A stroll along the marina, pausing to take a video of a forest of Turkish flags fluttering in the wind: check. Bites of kabak cicegi dolmasi and enginar kalbi on the terrace of a restaurant overlooking gulets bobbing in the harbor below: delicious. Browsing leather shoes and handwoven towels in the labyrinthine bazaar: my credit card statement would attest to that. Satisfied, I started mapping out the route back to the hotel, working in a stop at a posh Turkish delight shop a friend in New York had recommended. I turned to my mom, ready to lead her out of the bazaar, when I noticed her hesitate.
