BWI Marshall to London for $89 (with a pit stop)

By Jeff Clabaugh

WASHINGTON — WOW Air has launched another one of its popular sales to keep its share of business at BWI Marshall Airport.

With Icelandair set to return to the airport this spring, WOW Air is offering $89 one-way fares to London, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Brussels, Edinburgh, Dublin and Frankfurt and is good for travel between Jan. 17 and April 24.

WOW Air flies between BWI Marshall and its home airport Keflavik International Airport in Iceland, but markets its U.S. flights to Iceland as a jumping off point for quick connecting flights to European capitals.

The airline said this latest sale fare is available for 100 seats per flight leg and only when booked as a round-trip ticket.

WOW Air already offers several weekly flights from BWI Marshall to Reykjavik and plans to boost service to 11 flights per week before May and September this year.

Icelandair, which pulled out of BWI Marshall in 2008, resumes service at BWI Marshall on May 28.

Icelandair also flies nonstop to Reykjavik from Dulles International Airport.

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.
