Frontier adds Orlando as 2nd destination from BWI Marshall

By Jeff Clabaugh

WASHINGTON — Frontier Airlines, which last month announced its first service at BWI Marshall Airport with four weekly flights to Denver starting in March, has added Orlando to its new BWI Marshall routes.

Frontier will operate three weekly flights, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, starting April 11 to Orlando.

It is the latest new service to come to BWI Marshall, which had a banner year for new flights added or announced in 2018.

New service included Icelandair’s flights to Reykjavik, which started in May, and Air Canada adding service to Montreal, which also started in May.

Southwest Airlines recently announced weekly service to Grand Cayman starting in June of this year. Spirit Airlines announced three new markets from BWI Marshall starting in February, to San Juan, Austin, Texas and Jacksonville, Florida.

And Allegiant Air will add service to Sarasota, Florida, starting Feb. 22.

With all the new additions, BWI Marshall will have scheduled service from 17 airlines to 91 domestic and international destinations.

BWI Marshall is the Washington region’s busiest airport with three straight record years of passenger traffic.

Massachusetts court hears arguments in lawsuit alleging Meta designed apps to be addictive to kids

By The Associated Press
BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts' highest court heard oral arguments Friday in the state's lawsuit arguing that Meta designed features on Facebook and Instagram to make them addictive to young users. The lawsuit, filed in 2023 by Attorney General Andrea Campbell, alleges that Meta did this to make a profit and that its actions affected hundreds of thousands of teenagers in Massachusetts who use the social media platforms. “We are making claims based only on the tools that Meta has developed because its own research shows they encourage addiction to the platform in a variety of ways,” said State Solicitor David Kravitz, adding that the state's claim has nothing to do the company's algorithms or failure to moderate content. Meta said Friday that it strongly disagrees with the allegations and is “confident the evidence will show our longstanding commitment to supporting young people.” Its attorney, Mark Mosier, argued in court that the lawsuit “would impose liabilities for performing traditional publishing functions” and that its actions are protected by the First Amendment.
