Delta will soon use AI to set its ticket prices — here's what this means for travelers
Let AI do it. People are turning to AI for couples therapy and money hacks to pay down debt — now, airlines are relying on it to set ticket prices. The Atlanta-based airline is one of the first of its kind to publicly announce its use of artificial intelligence. Last fall, Delta said it planned to use AI technology to price 1% of its tickets at whatever a customer was willing to pay. The Atlanta-based airline hopes to utilize AI to do the dirty work of setting ticket prices. Charlie's – Now, reportedly, the airline is hoping to utilize AI to set ticket prices on 20% of its domestic flights by the end of the year, according to The Points Guy. On an earnings call last week, Delta announced that it will test out the tech setting flight prices for approximately 18-24 months to see if it's successful — and if it is, it seems that the airlines will make it a permanent thing, according to View From The Wing. Ultimately, Delta wants this new change to be in the customer's favor. '[It's] a full re-engineering of how we price, and how we will be pricing in the future. [It's to] get inside the mind of our consumer and present them something that is relevant to them, at the right time, at the right price,' Glen Hauenstein, Delta's President, said, according to View From The Wing. The Post reached out to Delta Airlines for a comment. Operating with a customer-first approach is maybe how Delta landed on the list of the best airlines of 2025. Delta's AI ticket pricing will undergo a test period lasting approximately 18-24 months. AFP via Getty Images According to The Points Guy, the airlines not only took the cake for the seventh year in a row — but it was also named the most reliable on-time airline in the U.S. 'What put Delta over the top in 2025 was its strength across all the categories we analyzed, from the consistently strong, on-time airline operation it runs to the experience customers have at the airport and in their seats,' the outlet wrote in their report. Of course, with every good thing comes some bad. Earlier this month, a flap from a Delta Airlines flight on its way to Raleigh-Durham International Airport from Atlanta fell from the sky and landed on a driveway in a North Carolina neighborhood. The flag was 'evidently separated' from the left wing, yet the flight managed to have a safe landing once it reached its destination, according to a spokesperson.

Find spanakopita toasties, curly fries and more at this sandwich shop in Niddrie
Previous SlideNext Slide Cafe$$$$ Pumping tunes bring the vibe as much as larger-than-life co-owner Joey Sleiman at this new sandwich deli on a north-west shopping strip, a few doors down from sibling cafe Mister Hoffman. It's named like every second Melbourne sanger shop, but Charlie's holds its own in a crowded market. Most punters are after the steak frites sandwich, filled with wagyu rib-eye and curly fries. And for dessert? Chonky choc-chip cookies, or acai. Star sandwich: Spanakopita melt ($18, pictured above right). What this toastie take on Greek spinach pie lacks in traditional filo pastry, it more than makes up for in flavour. Golden-crusted light rye encases feta double trouble, both Persian and Danish, which ooze out of the melt's cross-section. In the mix: baby spinach, braised leek and onion, and enough dill to help herb it up. House-made 'Chilli Lips' dip is a spicy, smoky reprieve from the cheese.

General Hospital July 1 Episode Recap: Did Kristina Survive the Firebomb at Charlie's Pub?
The new episode of General Hospital begins with a firebomb being thrown at Charlie's Pub. As the venue was burnt up with Kristina inside, it was a matter of life and death for the latter. She tries to avoid the flames, but the fire begins to spread and she hides behind the bar. Marco, who is on the way to meet his mother, spots fire and runs to help. With only a blanket to keep out the smoke, he gets himself and Kristina out of the pub from the back door. Suffering minor burns, the duo set themselves free from the flames, but the visuals were enough to give Michael a recollection of his PTSD. Worried, he recalls how he was trapped in fire at Sonny's Penthouse and also reveals to Sasha that he needs his medications once in a while. Is Natalia dead? Chase and Anna make it into Natalia's room, only to find her unresponsive. Chase finds an empty bottle of pills and alcohol remains. Natalia is rushed to the General Hospital and declared dead. Meanwhile, Marco, too, arrived to be checked out for his burns, where he is confronted about his mother by Chase and Anna. Shocked at the news, Marco runs to the hospital room, only to find Natalia deceased. At Charlie's, while no one was dead or intensely burned, Sidwell was furious after learning that Kristina was present when the fire started to spread out. He calls someone and reprimands them, saying that the firebomb was to be thrown only when the pub was empty. With Sidwell being behind the fire at the pub, there is a high chance that he lit Sonny's penthouse too, with Michael being trapped.

Supplement touted as ‘nature's Ozempic' could help you lose weight — and prevent colorectal cancer
Fiber is having its 15 minutes of fame. This nutrient has always been key to a balanced diet, but the growing focus on gut health has pushed it into the spotlight — with one supplement in particular generating serious buzz. Enter psyllium husk, hailed by wellness influencers as 'nature's Ozempic' for its ability to support weight loss. But its benefits go well beyond the number on the scale, with experts suggesting it may also help protect against colorectal cancer. Advertisement 6 Psyllium husk contains 78 grams of dietary fiber per 100 grams. Inga – What is psyllium husk? It's the outer shell of psyllium seeds, which come from an herb native to India called Plantago ovata, according to Healthline. Psyllium husk is commonly consumed as a powder or in pill form as a dietary fiber supplement. It's also used in gluten-free baking as a binder to improve texture. How can psyllium husk benefit your gut? Advertisement Psyllium husk is a soluble fiber, meaning it absorbs water and forms a gel-like substance in the stomach. For those dealing with constipation, this helps increase the size and moisture of stool, making it easier to pass. In fact, it's the key ingredient in laxatives like Metamucil. 6 Psyllium husk has been shown to help relieve a wide range of digestive symptoms. Pormezz – Advertisement If you're on the opposite end of the spectrum, psyllium can help with diarrhea too — absorbing excess water, firming up loose stools and slowing their movement through the colon. People with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) also often find relief from psyllium due to its ability to regulate stool consistency and ease common symptoms like gas, bloating and cramping. Don't have any digestive woes? Psyllium can help you stay that way. Researchers believe it acts as a prebiotic, feeding the beneficial bacteria in the gut that help maintain a healthy microbiome. Can psyllium husk help with weight loss? Advertisement 'Fiber can keep you fuller longer and sooner, which can lead to decreased appetite and overall intake,' Julia Zumpano, a registered dietitian, told Cleveland Clinic Health Essentials. 6 Psyllium husk is being called 'Nature's Ozempic' for its ability to help people shed weight. Charlie's – A 2016 study found that taking up to 10.2 grams of psyllium husk before breakfast and lunch significantly reduced hunger and cravings between meals compared to a placebo. That can support weight management — but Zumpano said calling it 'nature's Ozempic' is a stretch. 'Psyllium husk can support weight loss but not to the extent [that] a medication has potential to,' she explained. Bonus benefits for your heart 'Psyllium husk may help lower cholesterol and other substances that promote heart disease,' Kim Yawitz, a registered dietician, told Men's Health. A 2018 study found that taking 10 grams of psyllium daily significantly lowered levels of 'bad' LDL cholesterol and may help delay atherosclerosis — the hardening of arteries that can increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Advertisement 6 Psyllium husk can help address key risk factors linked to cardiovascular disease. Viva Naturals 'Psyllium is also rich in antioxidants that protect the heart and blood vessels, including polyphenols and flavonoids,' Yawitz added. For those with type 2 diabetes, psyllium may offer even more protection by slowing the absorption of glucose in the intestines, helping to lower high blood sugar levels and reduce cardiovascular risk. Can psyllium husk prevent colorectal cancer? Fiber plays a key role in preventing constipation, which may in turn lower the risk of colorectal cancer. Advertisement 'Not having things sit around in the colon is probably a good idea,' Dr. Carl Nordstrom, a gastroenterologist, said in an interview with UCLA Health, noting that people should aim to eliminate stool daily or every other day. 6 Cases of colorectal cancer are on the rise among young people. Jo Panuwat D – Studies suggest that psyllium may further reduce colorectal cancer risk by binding to toxins in the digestive tract and helping remove them from the body. Advertisement Nordstrom also pointed out that higher fiber intake is associated with a lower risk of adenomatous polyps — growths in the colon or rectum that can become cancerous over time. Psyllium's ability to address common risk factors like high blood sugar and obesity may offer additional protection. Is psyllium husk safe? Generally, yes — but there are a few precautions. The supplement should always be taken with plenty of water. Because it expands quickly when mixed with liquid, it can pose a choking hazard or, in rare cases, cause gastrointestinal obstruction. Advertisement 6 Some people may experience gas, bloating and other side effects when first starting psyllium husk. zigres – 'People with swallowing difficulties, bowel strictures or severe gastrointestinal conditions like Crohn's disease should consult a healthcare provider before using psyllium,' Lena Beal, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, told The Guardian. Psyllium may also interfere with the absorption of certain medications, potentially reducing their effectiveness. Taking too much can lead to gas, bloating or digestive discomfort — especially if your body isn't used to a high-fiber intake. While psyllium allergies are uncommon, there have been rare reports of a potentially life-threatening, whole-body reaction known as anaphylaxis. How much psyllium husk should you take? There's no one-size-fits-all dosage — it can vary depending on the product, your health goals and your tolerance. Most guidelines recommend 7 to 14 grams per day, though higher amounts may offer additional benefits, according to Healthline. If you're new to psyllium or have a sensitive digestive system, start slow. 'Start at a small dose, about 1 teaspoon, and increase slowly,' Zumpano said. 'And make sure you're drinking plenty of water.'
