You can now order Shake Shack burgers on Delta flights out of these 7 U.S cities
From Tuesday, June 3, first-class Delta customers flying out of certain airports on flights that go more than 900 miles can order a Shake Shack cheeseburger onboard. The sandwich is made with 100-percent Angus beef and melted American cheese on a toasted potato bun; you can also add whatever condiments or toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion and the like) that you desire to have or to hold. The in-flight offering will also include crinkle-cut potato chips—as a nod to the crinkle cut fries you ordinarily get when you're not at cruising altitude—and a dark-chocolate brownie.
Which airports can take advantage of this deliciousness right now? Travelers out of Miami International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, Orlando International Airport, Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport, San Francisco International Airport and Salt Lake City International Airport all have the option open to them. Detroit folks, hold your horses and wait—by July, you'll be able to order the Shake Shake cheeseburger in the air, too.
Fun fact: Shake Shack began operations out of a hot dog cart in New York's Madison Square Park in 2001. Helmed by celebrity chef Danny Meyer, it was supposed to help revitalize the ailing park, and three years later was successful enough to transform into a kiosk-style restaurant, where people would wait in line for as long as three hours to place their burger order. Today there are around 500 Shake Shacks all around the world, and while many companies are closing doors post-pandemic, Shake Shack is planning to open another 80 new restaurants in 2025, according to QSR magazine.

Huge car brand returning to the UK selling all EV line-up only available in four countries
The legendary manufacturer's return to Great Britain signals the accelerating evolution of the automotive industry, with petrol-guzzling muscle cars making way for emission-free automobiles An iconic name in the automotive world is making a clean break from its past and gearing up for a major return to the UK market following an eight-year absence. American luxury brand Cadillac, which has long been associated with big V8s and bold design, will be offering a lineup of fully electric vehicles when it relaunches on British soil. Cadillac's return is a bold move by General Motors (GM), which established its European headquarters in Zurich back in 2021 as part of a renewed continental push. The first UK-bound model will be the Cadillac Lyriq, a premium all-electric SUV retailing at around £68,000, that has so far only been available in Switzerland, France, Sweden and Germany. It comes after UK drivers were warned over 'avoiding' road instead of having to follow new rule. According to CEO of GM Europe, Pere Brugal, the brand will focus solely on electric vehicles, with the UK being one of its key markets going forward. He told Autocar: "It is one of the [markets] that we're focusing on right now." While the UK release date hasn't yet been revealed, the CEO did confirm the Lyric will be available soon after final testing is completed in Ireland, and that Cadillac is aiming to launch in the UK with at least two models. But Mr Brugal declined to confirm which ones will be joining the Lyriq, saying: "We want to make sure we launch not only with one model portfolio. We want to make sure we launch with at least a two-model portfolio." The specifications of the Lyriq are impressive — the entry-level version offers a range of around 330 miles and generates 520bhp. Those wanting an extra boost can choose the performance-focused top-tier model, which increases power to 606bhp. However, as Mr Brugal pointed out, launching in the UK is not just about shipping cars across the Atlantic. The ability to import Cadillac's growing portfolio will depend heavily on the alignment of emission regulations and safety standards between the US and Europe. "If the regulations between the US and Europe harmonise, it will make our life easier," he explained. "We will bring a lot of benefit to the final customer, because that will increase the range of options.' He also noted the possibility of designing a bespoke GM model specifically for European tastes. Unlike previous Cadillac ventures in the UK, the relaunch will eschew traditional dealership networks. Instead, the all-electric models will be sold using an online-based model, supported by pop-up 'experience' centres inviting customers to see, drive and configure their cars. This strategic attempt to modernise the buying experience mirrors the approach used by other EV manufacturers such as Polestar. As the Lyriq prepares to hit UK roads, Cadillac's all-electric resurgence signals not just the return of an iconic brand, but also the accelerating evolution of the automotive industry, with tradition giving way to innovation and petrol-guzzling muscle cars making way for emission-free automobiles.

Travelers can now go through TSA airport security in their hotel – but be warned if you have a big bag
TRAVELERS can now check in while they're checking out with an optional hotel airport security checkpoint. Avoid long TSA lines and airport faff by going through security checks at your hotel. 3 3 This is an option for those staying at the InterContinental Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport Hotel. After five long years, the security checkpoint has finally reopened allowing guests to exit the hotel directly into the main terminal of Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport. What is even better is that you do not have to be a guest at the hotel to use it. The exciting news was announced by the hotel on Tuesday but there is a warning for those who do not pack light. "Skip the terminal lines: Use our on-site TSA checkpoint," the hotel announced on its website. "Savvy travelers may now experience unmatched convenience and a more seamless travel experience," it added in a press release. The security point will be available for to use between 5am and 10am and only for those with carry-on luggage only. The hotel does not have capacity to process checked baggage so travellers with large bags will have to go through security at the main part of the airport. After going through the "exclusive TSA checkpoint" at the hotel, guests can access the hotel's skybridge and directly enter Terminal 1 near gate C25. Those flying from Terminal 2 will not be able to use the security checkpoint. Delta, United and American Airlines all raise fears of longer security wait times with 'chaotic' TSA change It will also not offer TSA PreCheck or other expedited security services. "The opening of this valuable amenity for travelers makes the InterContinental Minneapolis – Saint Paul Airport Hotel one of only two hotels in the country with on-site TSA access," the hotel states. The TSA checkpoint can be found on level 3 of the hotel and while that is only operational for five hours in the morning, the sky bridge means "travelers enjoy a 24-hour seamless exit from Terminal 1." The hotel also offers a free 24-hour shuttle service to and from both airport terminals. 'We understand the value of efficiency and time-saving solutions in travel,' said Benjamin Graves, President of Graves Hospitality, which developed and owns the hotel in conjunction with Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation. "Our unique positioning with dedicated TSA connection to the airport makes our guestrooms, event spaces, and signature restaurants supremely accessible for travelers, meeting and event attendees, as well as local guests." Travelers are delighted with the news, with many saying they have eagerly waited for its return since Covid shut it down. "This is something IC lovers have wanted back for YEARS now," Darin Adolphs wrote on Facebook in response to the announcement. "We only were able to use it once before it closed before covid. "Look forward to using it more times in the near future. Hope it stays open." "Now if I can just figure out how to do carry on only for long trips," another added. 3

Travel Review: The wonder of space shows there's more to Florida than Disney
As I took a quick glance around my flight to sunny Florida, it felt as though I was the only person not donning my Disney gear for a holiday packed with theme park fun. It's no secret that the Sunshine State is renowned for kids' activities galore, but after a few days living out dreams of chats with astronauts, all-American mansions and rocket launches, a completely new Floridian world opened up for me.
