Frontier Airlines is lining up its new Dulles flights

Discount carrier Frontier Airlines announced it’s launching 22 new routes in December, including nonstop service from Dulles International Airport to Tampa International Airport.

Starting Dec. 17, Frontier will fly daily from Dulles to Tampa, Florida, with an introductory fare on its website of as little as $59 each way.

Frontier returns to Dulles after discontinuing its operations at the airport in the first quarter of 2022. While nonstop flights to Tampa won’t begin until Dec. 17, the airline’s first flights out of Dulles will begin in November, with nonstop flights to both Atlanta and Orlando.

Dulles had 25.1 million passengers in 2023, topping pre-pandemic travel for the first time. Eight new airlines have added nonstop services at Dulles in the last year. The airport has more than 40 airlines serving about 140 destinations.

Frontier operates daily flights from Reagan National Airport to Denver International Airport. Frontier is the fastest-growing airline at BWI Marshall Airport, with nonstop flights to several destinations, including Cancun, Mexico, and San Juan, Puerto Rico.

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

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.
