TSA's Liquid Changes, Expedia's Growth and Royal Caribbean's AI

The TSA is “looking aggressively at liquids,” signaling potential changes to the 3.4-ounce rule, while also preparing for a possible government shutdown. Expedia Group blamed sluggish U.S. demand for slow B2C growth (1%) even as B2B rose 17%, and expects Vrbo to reaccelerate via promotions and wider inventory sharing. Royal Caribbean says AI now underpins pricing and operations, helping cut waste by 50% across 69 ships and aligning with a shift toward multiple shorter trips.
