England to Welcome Vaccinated Americans Starting Aug. 2. – I was beginning to worry that my upcoming JetBlue MINT flight from JFK to London wouldn’t work out due to UK restrictions on travelers. I’m excited that more and more countries are opening up to vaccinated travelers. Hopefully, that will encourage more people to get the shot.

Economy flyers can now pre-order snacks, drinks on United flights. – Economy passengers will soon be able to pre-order snacks and beverages up to 5 days before their flight.
