airports

Get ready for some travel changes at El Paso International Airport—starting in February, a new fee for those without Real IDs might catch you off guard.

Dallas-Fort Worth, (DFW), International Airport is the 3rd busiest airport in the world and one of the biggest. (You could fit all of Manhattan Island within its footprint.) It's also one you're most likely to get held up in.

Things are bigger in Texas, that's for sure, and that saying applies to the airports in the lone star state as well as other things, big and small ... we do both here ... in Texas.

Texas travelers who might be wondering if they will be pulled out of line for additional TSA screening can now find that information on their boarding pass.

Usually, when I hear a horrific story about an escapade aboard an airliner, I'm on the front line of bashing the carrier until it limps away in shame, but in light of the shananigans that recently happened aboard a flight that was diverted to Houston, in addition to the airline offering recompense to to its passengers, this time I am defending the carrier's position.

I have to say, after just replacing a damaged cell phone and dealing with several automation services to get a new one, I love actually being able to talk to a real human being when I have a problem, but it looks like that may become more difficult in the very near future.
