Dear Travel Fan, There continues to be a lot of uncertainty about what travelers are facing at the U.S. border, so this week we look at the situation for U.S. permanent residents (a.k.a. green card holders). Next Wednesday, things for all fliers will change when the Real ID requirement goes into effect. Here’s what you need to know, whether you’ve been able to get a Real ID or not. We’ve got two takes on the airport experience this week. Our Frugal Traveler, Elaine Glusac, lays out how to save time and money. But for some people, airports, and specifically airport lounges, are about finding romance. Panama has been in the news lately because of President Trump’s assertions that he wants America to take control of the canal. But the writer Jeffrey Gettleman went there for the birding, which is spectacular. We also visit Ireland’s Blackwater Valley, a quieter corner of that country filled with history, culture and natural beauty. And our 36 Hours column visits Berlin, a city you’d never describe as quiet. If you’re thinking about a volunteer vacation, we’ve rounded up six that let you do good in remote locations like the Faroe Islands and Chilean Patagonia. On the news front, we looked into the major delays that are snarling Newark Airport. And if you’re traveling in southern Europe this summer, you should expect to face protests against overtourism on June 15. We also report on a lawsuit filed by a woman who says she was sexually assaulted on an American Airlines plane. The F.B.I. says such assaults are increasing. Wishing you safe and happy travels,
