Greetings from Tampa! I was in New York and Boston this week. TSA checkpoints vary greatly. Tampa International Airport (TPA) and Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) were speedy while New York LaGuardia Airport (LGA) was a hot mess. In travel news, United made a splash with new aircraft interiors and a lie-flat option in Economy Class, Marriott added another brand, I visited the Capital One Landing, and more.
