There's no universal digital passport yet, it's not clear exactly what kind of proof will be accepted, and paper vaccination cards can be easily forged, damaged or lost.

As coronavirus restrictions are eased, how will travelers prove they've been vaccinated? Paper vaccination cards can be easily forged, damaged or lost and there's no universal digital passport yet.

Airlines got billions in federal COVID-19 aid over the past year, but consumer advocates and two senators say the companies are sitting on nearly $15 billion in refunds owed for canceled travel.

Over 90,000 customers complained about airlines refusing to refund canceled travel in the pandemic last year; 57 times more than 2019. Many are fighting for refunds while some face expiring vouchers.

Amid a sudden surge in demand for domestic travel, especially to beach destinations and national parks, decimated airlines are adding service to new markets as they try to inch back to profitability.

With restricted indoor dining and a need for social distancing, many cities closed streets to vehicles to allow for more walking, biking and outdoor dining. Some of those changes may be here to stay.

About 30,000 pilots, flight attendants and other airline workers can tear up furlough notices. Federal stimulus money will help them keep their jobs, and transit agencies are getting a boost too.

Many colleges and universities are cancelling or shortening the annual week off that's usually a rite of spring, but good vaccination news has people booking vacations over the summer months.

With many eager to travel again — teased in part by vaccines — the CDC is still urging people to stay home. As spring break season approaches, the forecast for booking trips looks cloudy.

The quadrennial Infrastructure Report Card from the American Society of Civil Engineers is an improvement from the D-plus four years ago but shows federal investment is still lacking.

Many of the world's airline pilots are out of work due to the pandemic. Those who are flying report deteriorating working conditions and higher stress levels, which some fear could lead to mistakes.

"People are tired of being at home," one travel advisor says as an industry decimated by the pandemic begins to see small signs that a recovery might be on the way.
