American Airlines’ new system can catch up on early boarding
Passengers trying to board American Airlines Those who fly before their group is called may quickly be loudly rejected at the gate and kicked back to their group. American Airlines The company is reportedly testing a new system that will sound an audible alert when passengers try to board out of sequence. When the alarm sounds, gate agents will be instructed to return passengers to their group. "The new technology is designed to ensure customers easily enjoy the benefits of priority boarding and help improve the boarding experience by providing our teams with clearer visibility of boarding progress," a statement from the airline said. Most airlines have a problem with so-called "boarding lice," where some people ignore calls from boarding groups and just try to board as quickly as possible.

GM electric car owners can enjoy Tesla’s Supercharger service, but there is a catch
Tesla Superchargers will become even busier as General Motors electric vehicles join them one after another. Customers must purchase a $225 adapter and use its app to initiate and pay for charging. GM has confirmed that a native NACS port will be coming next year. Tesla's Supercharger network is known for its size and reliability, and now it's opening up to thousands of GM's electric vehicles. This is big news because it will provide customers with access to more than 17,800 Supercharger stations, helping to eliminate one of the biggest barriers - finding reliable fast-charging stations across the country. var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:()}; adpushup.que.push(function() { if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){ adpushup.triggerAd("4d84e4c9 -9937-4f84-82c0-c94544ee6f2a"); } else{ adpushup.triggerAd("6a782b01-facb-45f3-a88f-ddf1b1f97657"); } }); Unfortunately, this isn't free, as customers will need to get a GM-approved NACS DC adapter.
