Flying this summer is predicted to be more tedious than in the past, but experts say the pandemic is pushing positive change at airports at breakneck speed.
What’s on the horizon? Imagine shorter lines, cruising through checkpoints and not touching anything — except for your mobile phone — from your car door to your airplane seat. In fact, the technology to do this already exists.

2. Changing the security line
3. Cleaning everything from luggage to people
4. More relaxed and spacious terminals
5. A check on disease, rather than a conduit..more
