Traveling by air is now a big part of life. You may take a flight for work, school, fun, or your family. Having a flight set gives you comfort and lets you feel calm. Still, plans do not always stay the same. Things can change suddenly like a health problem, a busy time, bad weather, or a need to be somewhere for your family. Because of this, you may need to change or drop your booking....

France coach Didier Deschamps will return home from the World Cup following the death of his mother and will miss his team's final group game against Norway, the French football federation said Tuesday. The FFF said Deschamps learned of his mother's death on Tuesday morning and that he is going back to France to attend her funeral. "At this incredibly painful time, we wish the head coach great strength and assure him of everyone's support," the FFF said, adding that assistant coach Guy Stphan will take temporary charge of the squad including for Friday's game in Massachusetts until Deschamps returns. The federation did not say when Deschamps was expected to return to the United States. The 57-year-old Deschamps had previously announced he is stepping down as France coach after the tournament, 14 years after taking charge. The former France captain led Les Bleus to World Cup glory in 2018 and his team lost the final to Argentina in 2022 in a penalty shootout. France won its opening two matches at this World Cup, beating Senegal 3-1 and Iraq 3-0 to advance to the knockout stage. Norway has also won its two matches. Reporting by the Associated Press.

Josh Hokit made plenty of noise as usual after his win over Derrick Lewis at UFC Freedom 250 at the White House. But rather than his performance gaining attention, it was Hokit's post-fight interview that garnered headlines in the days after the event.Known for his brash character work and controversial interviews, the heavyweight contender initially appeared to speak without a persona following his second-round stoppage of Lewis. That was, until he closed out his in-cage interview with Joe Rogan by calling the former First Lady of the United States, Michelle Obama, a man.Speaking Tuesday on "The Ariel Helwani Show" in his first interview since the fight, in a rare appearance as himself rather than a character, Hokit declined to apologize and said he has no regrets about the comments he made on UFC's arguable biggest platform ever."I thought I was giving her a compliment," Hokit told Uncrowned. "Michelle Obama, being a man, that's like, she knows how to deal with adversity. She knows how to work hard like a man; when the times get tough, the tough keep going."I thought it was a perfect opportunity to show the world how great this country is with the freedom of speech. You can go somewhere and you say something like that, and you die. And I'm not suicidal, by the way; I'm in good spirits. I'm a little under the weather right now, but other than that, I'm good. And so in other parts of the world, you say something like that, and you're not here to speak to Ariel Helwani, you know?"Hokit, 28, hasn't been shy to trash-talk anyone and everyone since arriving in the UFC late last year. Considering the large viewership UFC Freedom 250 figures released by Paramount, and the attention the event drew as a White House spectacle, Hokit's latest remark generated his most blowback yet. But that doesn't mean he regrets it."There's a certain side that pokes at another side and there's no outrage there. And so I thought it was a perfect time to take a jab," Hokit said."That's one thing about my career. Im never going to I think I was watching a [Henry] Cejudo video and he was like, Thats one thing I regret, is all the stuff I did [to promote fights]. Or you hear people backtrack even the [Sean] Strickland post-fight speech [after the Khamzat Chimaev fight], where he was like, 'I'm trying to sell the fight, and I don't mean the things I say.' You'll never hear me backtrack from what I say."UFC CEO Dana White was among the many voices to condemn Hokit's comment. White called the remarks nasty and nonsense the morning after UFC Freedom 250, then echoed those thoughts again Saturday after UFC Vegas 119, distancing himself from Hokit's "disgusting" remark but also reiterating that White believes in free speech.Ultimately, Hokit has become a top UFC contender at heavyweight despite the controversy, extending his undefeated promotional record to 4-0 with his latest win. Hokit said 2026 has already been a million-dollar year for him in the UFC and that neither White nor UFC CBO Hunter Campbell reached out to him about his post-fight comments.As for everyone else, he's not concerned.If Hokit had made a remark like that in his past life while on the NFL's San Francisco 49ers practice squad, he knows he wouldn't have expected to keep his spot on the roster."That's why I respect [White] so much," Hokit said. "That's why I wanted to fight in the UFC, because you got bosses like that. If I would have said that in the NFL, I don't have a job anymore. That's why I respect them so much. Yeah, they could always feel some type of way, I respect their opinions, but we do got freedom of speech. So it is what it is. I don't like what other people say, but Ive got to deal with it, Ive got to live with it.""At the end of the day, I don't care [if anyone's upset]. Now, I'm not trying to piss off the Dana Whites and Hunter Campbells. But they would also message me if they really felt like a certain way. They could comment and stuff like that, but if they really felt a type of way, they would message me. All the other people, they weren't there when I was down. They weren't there when I was broken. So, I could care less what anybody thinks. I'm here to make a splash and back up my words. If anybody feels some type of way, they know where to find me."

Jude Bellingham clashed with Ghana players during the closing stages of the first half during England's World Cup clash on Tuesday night.The Real Madrid star went into the game full of confidence after shining against Croatia six days ago.But it was a difficult first half for Bellingham and his England teammates, who were unable to break their rivals down.As the half-time whistle blew, the 22-year-old was left unhappy at something a Ghana player said, with Thomas Tuchel forced to calm him down.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayBBC presenter Mark Chapman, speaking on Radio 5 Live, suggested that Ghana boss Carlos Queiroz had said something to rile Bellingham and other England players up."I think that was Carlos Queiroz saying something to Jude Bellingham as they walked across the pitch and it just fired a few people up," he said.Tuchel gave England players some home truths during half-time against Croatia last week.And the Three Lions need a similar rocket to reach peak levels, with Ghana defending comfortably so far.Reacting to the game so far, England No 2 Anthony Barry defended the Three Lions' approach and criticised Ghana's tactics."It has been absolutely OK. A game we probably expect to be a difficult challenge, a difficult opponent," he said.

The headline for us is probably patience and continuing attacking with a stable base. Ghana are a team with excellent counter-attacking options."Analysing the first 45 minutes, Joe Hart, Micah Richards and Wayne Rooney admitted that England were surprisingly subdued.Rooney said: "This is what we expected and you've got to give a lot of credit to Ghana."I think they have defended really well."England needed more movement when you're against a low block just to unorganise and get them out of position to capitalise."Hart added: "It's just not that easy."Ghana looked organised and it's difficult for England to get through a congested back line."I'm really confident they will get through in the second half."And Richards called for changes, with the former Manchester City star stating: "[Bukayo] Saka has got to be introduced in the second half."This was always my dilemma, when teams press us you want runners, Anthony Gordon, fantastic, Marcus Rashford, Noni Madueke too."But when you are facing a low block have you got someone that has that little bit of magic to take someone on?
