By the end of 2015, travelers will no longer be able to add extra pages to their U.S. passport, and will have to renew their passports instead if they run out of pages. So, now is the time to take advantage of the $82 fee for more pages if you are running out  before the new policy takes effect. But there is some good news: new passport holders will be issued a 52-page "jumbo" book that will feature 20 more pages than the current standard passport. U.S. passports will continue to be valid for 10 years and travelers won't have to worry about registering and paying for new visas before they expire so long as they bring their old stamped book along with their new one. 

With the number of travelers enrolled in the Transportation Security Administration's PreCheck program at 1 million and rising, travelers who opted into PreCheck through their airline loyalty program will notice a reduction in the frequency in which they are chosen for expedited screening, the TSA said in its blog. Travelers who have Known Traveler Numbers (KTN) through one of four Department of Homeland Security programs (PreCheck, Global Entry, Nexus and Sentri) will see no reduction.

Members of AAdvantage, American Airlines' (AA) frequent flier loyalty program, received an email recently announcement stating the loyalty programs of both AA and merger partner US Airways would be merging, "within the next 30 days," USA Today reported. The merging will abolish the US Airways Dividend Miles loyalty program, and make all members part of AAdvantage. American made sure to tell customers that no miles would be lost in the process, but did say that there would be a delay on the elite status part of the process, saying "We'll determine your elite status level by looking at your combined elite-qualifying activity for 2014, and separately, your combined 2015 year-to-date elite-qualifying activity," they added, "It may take a few days to transfer everything, but we'll email you once it's completed."

Delta Air Lines SkyMiles loyalty program members have expanded options when it comes to booking award travel on partner airlines. The new inventory includes Aeroflot, Aerolineas Argentinas, Garuda Indonesia, GOL and Vietnam Airlines. Those airlines join Air France/KLM, China Airlines, China Eastern, China Southern, Korean Air and Virgin Atlantic as Delta partners eligible for awards booking.
