Air travel insurance battles and baggage coverage changes
Industry moves seek higher damage limits for overseas crashes from 75 000 to 117 000 with possible extra 200 000 supplemental coverage capping at 317 000 plus a 2 dollar ticket fee. Domestic flights face no cap but claims hinge on proven monetary loss. Baggage liability rises to 750 per bag on domestic and excess valuation offered for overseas. Charter flights warn about prepayment reads and fine print.

Boston AP reports Dr. William Kannel says 16 percent of men and 21 percent of women in Framingham score 29 or less for activity, with 24 for bed-bound. He notes even the most active group rarely reaches high fitness, as the Framingham Heart Study spans decades and shifts from federal to private sponsorship.
