American Airlines and JetBlue think they have solved the problem of exchanging passengers at New York’s JFK Airport, the heart of their new relationship. Yet the two carriers will compete for passengers at other airports, particularly in South Florida. In fact, they will become frenemies — allies here, combatants there.At JFK, the airlines will seek to enable connections without a second security check for connecting passengers — long a barrier for multiterminal carriers seeking to set up connections at the major East Coast gateway airport — apparently with targeted scheduling....

Update 3/17/21: Iceland has updated its document requirements, so CDC-issued certificates and U.S. laboratory results should now be accepted for entry.Back in the early weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, Iceland famously tossed out the welcome mat to American tourists before quickly rolling it back up.The country’s flag carrier, Icelandair, listed and sold flights to a large variety of U.S. cities, but never actually operated most of them, leaving customers to fight for refunds — which, in my case, only came after I filed a complaint with the Department of Transportation (DOT)....

The acronym “TPC” is heard fairly commonly in the golf world, and it applies to golf courses. It’s heard often because many professional golf tournaments, including some of the biggest, are played at TPC golf courses. But what does “TPC” stand for? This: “Tournament Players Club.” And golf courses that carry the “TPC” designation are owned by the PGA Tour. Many people believe TPC stands for “Tournament Players Course.” And while that is not correct, it’s OK to refer to a TPC course that way....
