Brenda Song Shares Family Travel Mishap With Alaska Airlines Brenda Song, known for her role in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, recently shared a frustrating experience with Alaska Airlines during a family trip. The actress, who shares children Dakota, 4, and Carson, 3, with fiancé Macaulay Culkin, accused the airline of canceling her family’s reserved seats at the last minute, causing them to be separated during their journey. In an Instagram Stories post on March 21, Song expressed her disappointment, writing, “I didn't know when you book your first class tickets 6 months in advance for your family of six for your son's birthday—@alaskaair can just give away your seats the morning of with no warning-splitting up you and your 3 and 4 year old kids.” She vowed never to fly with the airline again and urged others to avoid it as well. Macaulay Culkin, 45, later reposted Song’s message on his own Instagram Story, quipping, “Hell hath no fury like a Brenda scorned.” The airline responded by calling Song’s experience “unacceptable” and stating it was “not reflective of the care we strive to deliver.” A representative for Alaska Airlines told E! News that the incident was “not reflective of the care we strive to deliver” and apologized for adding “friction to the experience.” The airline also mentioned it had reached out to the family to “make it right” and emphasized its commitment to providing a “safe, reliable and caring experience” for all passengers. Song and Culkin, whose relationship began in 2017, have previously faced challenges in parenting young children. In an April interview with E! News, Song reflected on how raising their kids has deepened their bond. “No matter how well you know your partner, when you have kids, it's another phase of your relationship,” she said.#alaska_airlines #brenda_song #macaulay_culkin #dakota_song #carson_song
TSA PreCheck Touchless ID offers a faster way to bypass security lines at U.S. airports. As wait times at security checkpoints continue to rise, travelers can use this biometric verification system to streamline their experience. The program, which leverages facial recognition technology, allows passengers to complete identity checks without traditional document checks, reducing delays. TSA highlights that Touchless ID lanes at participating airports typically have the shortest wait times compared to standard security lines. The system is currently available at 65 U.S. airports, though enrollment requires specific steps. Travelers must already have TSA PreCheck eligibility and an active frequent flyer profile with an airline that participates in the program. Additionally, they must have uploaded valid passport information to their airline account. Enrollment processes vary by airline. Alaska Airlines requires users to have an Atmost Rewards account, with enrollment steps outlined on the airline’s website. American Airlines mandates an annual opt-in through its rewards program, while Delta allows SkyMiles account holders to enroll. Southwest Airlines enables enrollment via Rapid Rewards accounts, and United Airlines requires a Mileage Plus account for participation. Each airline provides detailed instructions for activating the service. The TSA has shared a map of all 65 airports where Touchless ID is available, though the article does not list them individually. Travelers can access this information through the TSA’s official website. For those seeking to compare wait times, a table of TSA wait times at major airports is also referenced, though the specific data is not included in the text.#delta_airlines #american_airlines #tsa_precheck #touchless_id #alaska_airlines
