Well, that was quite something. The partial eclipse is cool and all, but experiencing totality is just on a whole other level. The weather was perfect to boot too.

Jump to postThe moves to NDC is blowing up the interline world (and rendering them useless).

Jump to postKinda public news around ORD is that American will be accommodating Contour on AA gates effective this month some time. They will not be using the Stinger gates as planned.

Jump to postThat's a great explanation, thank you so much! I'm curious, what makes you consider a codeshare agreement to be a large upgrade over an interline agreement? I'd imagine that, at least for EAS airports, the big thing is just being able to book a continuous itinerary on AA/UA/DL. Also, since interlin...
Jump to postWell it's only an interline, the same one Contour has with American Airlines. No Codesharing or the ability to earn DL Miles on DAC (or AA Miles on Contour). Alex Apologies, I've always been bit confused about the distinction (some questions below). Nonetheless, they seem to be one of just 3 commut...
