@airlinewriter CBP is promoting use of apps like Mobile Passport Control to speed travelers through the airport.
@airlinewriter Vasu Raja, chief commercial officer of @AmericanAir , says customers in 25 biggest markets pay less than average, those in smaller markets pay more. He says it’s because demand in those markets is growing and there aren’t enough flights.
