Frontier and Spirit Airlines Merge
February 7, 2022
Frontier Airlines and Spirit Airlines announced a merger. The announcement described the combined airline, which does not currently have a name, as "America’s most competitive ultra low-fare airline." The merger is expected to close in the second half of 2022 following approval of regulatory processes,
Spirit said. Frontier and Spirit have routes in airports in the Houston, Austin, Dallas and San Antonio metro areas, as well a,s in Nashville. Frontier added three new routes to the William P. Hobby Airport in Houston on Jan. 18. This merger is centered around creating an aggressive ultra-low fare competitor to serve our travelers even better, expand career opportunities for our team members, and increase competitive pressure, resulting in more consumer-friendly fares for the flying public.
One Low-Cost Airline
The combined carrier will add 10,000 jobs by 2026 and will bring in 350 aircraft, Spirit said. The airline will serve over 145 destinations across the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean.
According to Spirit's announcement, existing Frontier equity-holders will own approximately 51.5%, and existing Spirit equity-holders will own approximately 48.5% of the combined airline.

THE REAL ID ACT - Deadline Extended
REAL ID - Delayed Until May 3, 2023
April 28, 2021 - Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas announced the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from October 1, 2021 to May 3, 2023, due to circumstances resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
The pandemic has significantly impacted states’ ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver’s licenses and identification cards, with many driver’s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change.
Individuals who are unable to verify their identity will not be permitted to enter the TSA checkpoint and will not be allowed to fly. Other acceptable forms of ID, such as state-issued-enhanced driver's license, valid passport, or U.S. military ID will be mandatory for air travel.

UNITED KINGDOM E-PASSPORT GATES
ePassport Gates
US passport holders from the United States (and six other countries; Australia, Canada. Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea) can now use the automated “ePassort Gates” (where available) when arriving in the UK.
These passengers can now avoid potential wait times at immigration by inserting their passport into the machines, having their photograph taken and then entering the country automatically without any human interaction. Best of all, there’s no registration required, though-travelers. Passengers under age 12 years are not permitted to use the ePassport gates.
The UK has also done away with paper landing cards. Regardless if you have access to ePassport gates, you’ll no longer have to complete personal details by hand each time you enter the United Kingdom.

The change is effective now, however, the Travel Planner does not yet reflect it yet (so you won't see it reflected in your estimated charges) as of now.
