BermudAir begins BWI Marshall service, with its own milestone

By Jeff Clabaugh

Startup airline BermudAir has made its inaugural flight from Bermuda to BWI Marshall Airport in Maryland. Its arrival Monday was greeted with water cannons to mark the milestone, which was also the 1,000th flight for the airline.

The new flagship airline of Bermuda, BermudAir launched in September 2023. In addition to BWI Marshall, it operates nonstop service to Bermuda’s L.F. Wade International Airport from New York’s Westchester County Airport, Boston, Fort Lauderdale and Orlando. It operates all flights with Embraer E175 aircraft with two cabin classes.

From BWI Marshall, BermudAir now operates three weekly round-trip flights. The route, as scheduled, is a little over two hours. The flights between BWI and Bermuda operate Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

Published fares on its website from BWI Marshall to Bermuda show a few one-way fares as low as $99, though most one-way fares appear to be in the $200 to $250 range.

It is the only nonstop flight from the D.C. area to Bermuda, though that will change next month.

American Airlines will resume its seasonal service from Reagan National to Bermuda in April for the first time since it halted the D.C.-to-Bermuda route at the onset of the pandemic.

Delta Air Lines operates flights from BWI to Bermuda through JFK. JetBlue operates connecting flights from Reagan National through Boston. American Airlines operates connecting service from Reagan National through Charlotte and Miami.

Note to travelers: Bermuda restaurants tend to have more formal dress codes than many Caribbean destinations. Bermuda shorts are, of course, usually okay.

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.
