THIS WEEK’S TOP STORIES
Hello TPG readers! Senior reporter Benji Stawski here, and I'm back to take over the daily newsletter for the next couple of weeks.

Between the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas, and another spike in COVID-19 cases, it was a difficult week for the U.S. Although there doesn’t seem to be an immediate effect on travel yet, places like New York City are recommending wearing masks indoors again.

Things were a bit quieter in the travel world. We got a first look at Amtrak’s new Acela trains, Alaska Airlines pilots voted to authorize a strike, we tracked lost luggage with AirTags and more. Catch up on all of this week's top stories here: Want to stay on top of the latest travel developments throughout the week? Follow TPG on social media, including Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
