News notes from around the interweb:
- Which countries have opened to U.S. travelers
- What does a Hyatt Place breakfast look like in the COVID world?
- Government ‘investigating’ how the TSA bungled its response to coronavirus. TSA told airports not to install face shields, wouldn’t let employees wear masks, and had no procedures for dealing with sick passengers. Glove-changing guidance may have screeners using the same gloves on up to 50 passengers. Our leaders continue to fail us.
- Washington Dulles Travelers Aid volunteers continue to work remotely
- The Seattle American Express Centurion lounge will relocate and triple in size. It’ll move to a more convenient spot, too, above where Anthony’s restaurant used to be in the central food court area. It’s awesome news they’re expanding so much. It paints a vision for future recovery at a time when their lounges remain closed.
- Hertz will no longer sell new shares in bankruptcy that they themselves acknoweledged would be worthless
- Amazeballs – an EVA Air Hello Kitty Boeing 777 as a cargo jet!

- Los Angeles World Airports announces permanent CEO permanent, until the next one.
Now is the time for breakfast to be about nutrition, not taste. Hyatt should consider a partnership with Soylent.
Hello Pussy Express!
I don’t think the SEA lounge would be over Anthony’s — from the drawings, it looks as though this is on the “left” (southern) side of the central terminal area, towards the B concourse. Anthony’s was on the northern side, towards the C concourse.
