With the coronavirus pandemic worsening and no more help in sight from the U.S. government, airlines and airports are scrambling to survive the worst crisis in aviation history. axios.com/airlines-plot-…

For those who can afford it, premium class seats offer more comfort and perhaps a little extra breathing room. axios.com/some-air-trave…
Traveling during the pandemic has created a new airport experience, including touchless kiosks and increased sanitization.

Automation and artificial intelligence have long been viewed as a threat to jobs, but the unprecedented disruption COVID-19 is posing to the travel industry could have lasting workforce implications. axios.com/touchless-trav…
Some travelers are avoiding commercial flights during the pandemic and opting for private charter flights instead.

It's expensive, but private planes can offer more peace of mind to passengers concerned about virus-related safety on commercial planes. axios.com/more-fliers-tu…
Boeing is nearing the end of a crippling stretch after the grounding of it 737 MAX last year, while trudging through another one: the pandemic. axios.com/boeing-737-max…
One travel job that is booming during the pandemic is pet delivery specialist.

🎓 The blunt lessons of 2020, via @JimVandeHei:

There's no bigger crisis for media, politics, society than the growing number of people who don't believe facts and verifiable figures. If we don't collectively solve this, we're all screwed. axios.com/2020-lessons-m…
The media remains fairly clueless about the America that exists outside of the big cities, where most political writers and editors live.

The coverage missed badly the Trump surge in places obvious (rural America) and less obvious (Hispanic-heavy border towns in Texas)
Let’s be honest: Many of us under-appreciated the appeal of Trump’s anti-socialism message and the backlash against the defund-the-police rhetoric on the left. axios.com/2020-lessons-m…

🗳 DEEP DIVE — First priorities for President Joe Biden’s administration

The big task for the incoming Biden administration is reconfiguring, revising and rethinking what's possible in light of divided government, @HansNichols writes.

🏥A Biden presidency and a closely divided Senate means that nothing big is likely to happen in health care for at least the next two years, @caitlinnowens writes. axios.com/joe-biden-admi… Image
🌎Biden has said he would immediately rejoin the Paris climate agreement, but that's the easy part. Ultimately meeting his ambitions for the U.S. on the world stage would be much trickier. More from @AmyAHarder and @Ben_Geman: axios.com/president-joe-… Image
