Air travel has changed a lot in recent years, from increasingly scrutinized security protocols to technologically driven improvements in booking tickets. And that’s not even taking into consideration the massive impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. For Delta Air Lines, these changes have underscored the need to keep up. So, in it terminals across the country, the airline is now in the midst of a $12 billion effort to modernize the buildings where passenger journeys begin and end. The improvements they’re making range from smoother paths through security to more intuitive journeys within the terminal. They’re even cutting down on the amount of space given to what was once the front door of every airline: the check-in counter. Read my article to see how these upgrades are changing airports across the country.

Twitter vows to keep WFH forever policy: What you need to know
