News and notes from around the internet:

A recent mix-up at the Rio de Janeiro airport caught attention when Delta Airlines mistakenly labeled Austin as Atlanta. A user named Flat_Championship548 shared this incident on Reddit, stating, "Hey, Delta. As an Austin resident... trust me... this is not Atlanta."

In other news, American Airlines has introduced additional inventory on Fiji Airways through its frequent flyer program, American AAdvantage. According to reports, awards for a business class flight between Los Angeles (LAX) and Nadi, Fiji (NAN) were found costing up to 405,000 AA miles instead of the published rate of 80,000 miles for a saver award. It was clarified that this is not a price increase and does not affect the availability of saver inventory priced at 80,000 points.
