Florida’s legislature just passed a bill renaming Palm Beach International Airport as “President Donald J. Trump International Airport,” becoming the first major U.S. airport named for a sitting president.

A Florida man was arrested at a Disney-area vacation rental resort after deputies say witnesses captured video of him partially clothed engaging in “inappropriate conduct” with a vacuum cleaner. The complaint trail started with reports of a nude man in a hallway, escalated into indecent exposure calls the next day, and ended with an arrest a week later after investigators gathered statements and footage.
United Airlines has over 700 new aircraft on order, even excluding 45 Airbus A350s that until recent Boeing production issues were expected never to materialize.

A hotel guests faces 6 counts of assaulting a police officer after calling the cops to his hotel room, saying he wanted to kill them “since his world was ending.” The cops didn’t end his world but did taser him several times.

Hotel breakfast is one of the most important elite benefits and something that’s considered standard, ironically, at most non-full service properties. But what happens when a guest expects to receive breakfast and doesn’t, either because of a change to the loyalty program or as a cost saving measure gussied up as ‘protecting guests and workers during Covid-19’?
