## Resource

Airlines are locked in a fierce battle for LAX dominance as Delta launches a new LA-to-Newark route, pitting its Airbus A321neos against United’s more luxurious options. Meanwhile, European travelers brace for five-hour waits as the EU’s new digital border system rolls out, demanding fingerprints and photos. On the plus side, Delta’s now offering 24 hours of free Wall Street Journal access onboard, and Apple AirTags have slashed permanently lost luggage by 90% while speeding up reunions with delayed bags by 26%. But if you crave extra legroom, be ready to pay up—those seats can cost you $88 more round trip.
