Jump to postSo it seems like all the domestic projects are wrapping up. All aircraft have PDE, All but 405 have scimitars and all but 705 have new seats. What is the next project to start? 738/739 new first class? updating the interiors to Polaris like the new A319s? Any idea if there is a plan to fix the loca...

Jump to postNewark is too far from New York City. Why not just do passengers a favor and move the flight to JFK instead?
Jump to postA picture of the B/E Aspire Economy seat: https://twitter.com/wandrme/status/850398434154643458 Looks very similar to what Garuda Indonesia installed on their 737 MAX 8s.

Jump to postEWR is too far away from NYC compared to JFK and as such is not nearly as convenient for most people flying out of there. Furthermore, the A380 (with the upper deck economy section) is by far one of the most comfortable ways to get to Asia with a one-stop connection in Seoul. Furthermore, the A380 s...
Jump to postAlmost half the plane will be Polaris, just like the 777-300ER. Economy is obviously getting densified to accommodate the new premium heavy cabin
https://thepointsguy.com/2017/10/united ... 77-layout/
I saw an instagram video highlighting the new 757-300 cabin. Although F has the new seats (same on the A320 and 73G), economy is the B/E Aerospae Pinnacle with seat back pocket, the same as the 737-900ERs. I was surprised that they didn't even install a tablet holder like the 77As, given that these ...
Jump to postThey should at least keep seatback IFE in the ex-VX aircraft. Otherwise it would be a MAJOR product downgrade for passengers.

Jump to postWow, this is amazing! This has gotta be one of the most detailed VX trip reports I've ever seen!
On a side note... the first A320 emerged in AS livery yesterday (N625VA)
Keep in mind that United might be acquiring some used 767-300ERs from Hawaiian as they retire them later this year. On average, they are all around 15-16 years old (with the exception of a lone non-ER 767-300), younger than United's current 76W fleet. Also, doesn't Airbus have a Most Favored Custome...
Jump to postAwesome report! Somewhat disappointed to see that HA does not offer seatback screens anymore... such a pity considering the fact that these birds are going to be used on flights lasting 5-6 hours in length

Hi everybody, According to FlightRadar24, it seems that the only route that the new A321neo is operating on a regular basis is SFO-DCA; even then, you see the occasional A320 operating this route.

Jump to postAlaska does have an excellent frequent flyer program, but from an amenity perspective, I'd say this is where AS is severely lacking behind many of its competitors.

Jump to postAccording to a pretty reliable site: https://sites.google.com/site/unitedfleetsite/mainline-fleet-tracking UA has 5x 738MAX coming in 2018. True?

Jump to postI understand your point. However, it just seems really "cheap" to not have the seatback entertainment screens - almost like a budget carrier. United doesn't even have power ports/usb ports for any of their 737s with PDE, so I can't see the rationale here. At least give us one or the other...
Jump to postDelta will receive their first Airbus A330-900neo in 2019. This aircraft will be replacing some of the older 767-300ERs, along with the existing Airbus A350. For economy and premium select, I think they'll go with the same seats that they have on the A350 right now (Recaro CL3710 model for economy ...
Jump to postI think it could be the Zodiac Cirrus NG for the A330neo. It is an evolution of their current A330 seat, and is better in every way. Or the Waterfront, which is reverse herringbone and has sliding doors, to keep up with their A350/777 J I certainly hope they go with the Panasonic waterfront. It wil...
