Let’s hope this passes through government channels quickly and fees fly away!!! 

Is a new hydrogen-powered plane in future travel plans? Airbus is working with French-based Nidec Leroy-Somer to develop an electric motor for a hydrogen-powered fuel cell prototype. They hope to deploy the ZEROe aircraft into service by 2035!

If you’re trying to avoid standing in crowded lines to get placed in a rundown hotel by your airline, you have options! If you have a credit card with trip delay coverage, book your own room and save your receipts.

Otherwise, you might want to use your points — often paired with great deals from airline contracts. Thanks Gary!
