Avelo Airlines is expanding its Midwest footprint this summer, announcing new non-stop routes from both Indianapolis International Airport and Cleveland Hopkins International Airport to the same pair of destinations. Starting in June, travelers in both cities will have direct flight options to New Haven, Connecticut, and Concord, North Carolina, two markets that provide convenient access to the New York City and Charlotte metropolitan areas respectively. The ultra-low-cost carrier, which operates similarly to Frontier, Spirit and Allegiant Airlines in its pricing and route strategy, focuses on smaller and less congested airports that offer lower operating costs and a more streamlined travel…

Inflation at the wholesale level came in hotter than expected in February, and the numbers arrived before the full economic impact of the Iran conflict had any chance to register in the data. The Labor Department reported Wednesday that its producer price index, which tracks inflation before it reaches consumers, climbed 0.7% from January and 3.4% compared to February 2025. That year-over-year figure represents the largest gain in a full year and exceeded what economists had forecast. The report landed on the same day Federal Reserve policymakers gathered in Washington to decide on the nation’s benchmark interest rate, adding an…

What began as a power outage at Denver International Airport on Wednesday morning quickly escalated into a significant disruption for air travel across much of the United States.

Damson Idris’s introduction to Formula 1 followed the kind of path that will feel familiar to a generation of fans who discovered the sport through a screen rather than a grandstand. He played the F1 video game with his brothers, accumulated a casual interest and might have stayed there if a Hungarian Grand Prix in 2018 had not done what live motorsport tends to do to people who experience it for the first time. He went to the race, watched Lewis Hamilton win and left, by his own description, hooked for life. Four years later, he was cast in F1…

The WNBA’s cable debut begins May 8, with Wednesday night doubleheaders serving as the signature programming…

When footage of Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King making their careful, tentative entrance at the Chloé Fall/Winter 2026 runway show in Paris surfaced on TikTok earlier this month, the internet had opinions. Online commenters were quick to mock the two women for walking like they were 90 years old a critique that made the rounds with the particular enthusiasm social media reserves for celebrity moments taken entirely out of context. Winfrey, 72, has now provided the context, and the explanation is both completely reasonable and genuinely funny. The sunglasses that started everything The sequence of events, as Winfrey described it…

When Michael B. Jordan’s name was announced as a Best Actor Oscar nominee for his dual performance in Sinners, the people who taught him, coached him and grew up alongside him in Newark, New Jersey felt something closer to confirmation than surprise. For those who watched him come up at Newark Arts High School, the trajectory that led to Hollywood’s most celebrated stage was visible long before the cameras and credits caught up to it. Jordan, 39, plays twin brothers Elijah Smoke Moore and Elias Stack Moore in Ryan Coogler’s  Sinners,  a performance that earned him his first Academy Award…
