Here's what's new and notable at Solo Traveler this month.

On Wednesday night, Kerwin McKenzie answered our many questions about air travel, from post-pandemic changes to pricing, booking windows, and schedules to upgrade strategies, discount airlines, and luggage policies. His passion for aviation and generosity in sharing his expertise made it all the more fun. If you couldn't make it, you can enjoy the video.
