Trips from the U.S. to Europe especially are surging this summer. And that has consequences for domestic airlines—and airfares.

After encouraging early retirement during the pandemic, the industry finds it has a pipeline problem.

Google’s piloting a new, free price drop guarantee. Why, and how useful is it?

The FAA has asked airlines to give up precious landing slots.
