✈️ American Airlines has stopped flights to Eugene, Oregon, out of Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, but will add a trip to Colorado later this year.

In addition, more flights will be added to San Jose, California, from DFW Airport early next year, ahead of the 2026 Super Bowl.

Zooming in: According to the Fort Worth-based airline's website, service will resume to Gunnison-Crested Butte Regional Airport in Gunnison, Colorado, in December. A search of flight plans shows the route will start Dec. 18.

A closer look: American Airlines has canceled its direct flight to Eugene, Oregon. Seasonal flights to the town, which is home to the University of Oregon, were offered.

One more thing: American will also offer 10,000 additional seats on flights to San Jose between Feb. 5 and Feb. 10, 2026, for the Super Bowl, taking place at Levi’s Stadium, on Feb 8. 

There will be seven flights from DFW Airport to San Jose per day, Feb. 5-6, and eight flights from San Jose to DFW Airport on Feb. 9.

💧As water restrictions and shortages become more common in Texas communities, state lawmakers are asking voters to approve $20 billion to fund new water supply projects and improve existing systems over the next 20 years.

The overview: If voters approve State Proposition 4, which is on the November ballot, the state will create a dedicated funding stream to help local utilities access more water and upgrade their infrastructure. Without the new funding, Texas’ water crisis could deepen, experts say.

“We’ve got 1,500+ people moving to Texas every day, and not one of them is bringing a single drop of water with them,” Dean Sharp, who leads the management division of the Texas American Water Works Association, said Oct. 16.

Key takeaway: Despite the $1 billion annual price tag, Proposition 4 would not create any new state taxes or increase costs for Texans, lawmakers and experts said. Beginning in 2027, the money would come from existing sales tax revenue and be deposited in the Texas Water Fund, a state account that voters approved in 2023.
