I flew economy on American, Delta, and United. The flights were strikingly similar but with small quirks that may help you choose which airline to fly.

They are scenes straight out of a travel nightmare: Airline passengers, including unaccompanied minors, stranded for days in strange cities amid a cascading wave of flight cancellations—with little hope of catching a plane home in a hurry.

Delta Air Lines says its operations are getting back on track, signaling the likely end of a multi-day meltdown that's seen the carrier cancel more than 5,000 flights since an IT outage on Friday.

American Airlines is growing its domestic operation with the addition of a new destination.

Good morning from Skift. It’s Tuesday, July 23, and here’s what you need to know about the business of travel today. 

It's been a tumultuous few days at U.S. airports. Airlines have canceled thousands of flights since an IT outage affecting Microsoft clients Friday upended operations at industries around the world — including air travel.

Whether carving their names on the Coliseum in Rome or haphazardly approaching bears at Yellowstone National Park, tourists frequently make the news for behavior that's, frankly, very stupid.

A global IT outage on Friday canceled thousands of flights and forced several airlines to request ground stops, throwing travel into chaos.

When settling on a place to live, cost of living is certainly a factor. But so is the recreation opportunities.

It was a bittersweet moment for Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian.

Delta Air Lines' premium cabins could be ripe for "unbundling" — the airline industry trend that's seen passengers increasingly paying for services once included in the price of a ticket.

I'm zooming across Gull Lake in a Malibu Wakesetter 22 LSV powerboat, which I've been told has enough torque to rocket me to the moon. The water is 77 degrees, warmed by a sun that just won't quit. Captain Amanda Nash and instructor Matt Soundy barely look old enough to drink, yet both are skilled wake surfers, excited to show me their TikTok moves. They're living the wet, hot American dream here in central Minnesota: zigzagging across six-foot swells, sucking down root beer floats, and partying every night after work. They're fun gossips too, pointing out the rumored lake homes of Tom Cruise and some med-tech bajillionaire who allegedly imported his own beach sand because the lake sand wasn't “white enough.” I enjoy the chitchat, but I'm here to launch my own wakeboarding career—one of several ways I'm trying to embrace the “lake life” I've heard so much about since moving to Minnesota six years ago. The state is the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” as its license plates proudly attest, but as my New Yorker husband, Andrew, and I learned, that motto rounds the number down: There are actually 11,842, if you want to get persnickety about it.
