Originally the decision is to be made between A320/NEO or MAX 8/MAX 9, but the recent crashes of the MAX has led to the NEO winning. Sorry, I do not believe this. A professional organization will not be led by feelings of temporary problems with the MAX8/9. Maybe not, but this is an airline where p...
Jump to postSlow retrofits, are not unique to UA. AA was also slow to roll out its 1-2-1 business seats. AA announced its new 77W J seat in 2012 (also heavily marketed) and didn't start retrofitting its 772s and 763s until late 2014 and took until mid-2017 to complete the retrofits. DL announced its Business s...
Jump to postI know AS is currently building a club in terminal 2 so maybe that decision is too far gone. Perhaps boarding area B doesn't have enough gates for alaska also? Where? Cannot think of anywhere in T2 airside where there would be space, unless they are building an extension or are adding an additional...
Jump to postLooks like Recaro CL6710 Please tell me this is trolling. The only trolling is your insistence that this is not a Recaro seat when it most definitely is. I mean, fundamentally, the problem is the seat that LH and UA are using are very, very definitely Zodiac, not Recaro, seats: http://www.zodiacaer...

Jump to postThere is no requiremnet that passengers be in their assigned seats as far as the FAA is concerned. Many airlines compute weight and balance info based on seat assignments, so yes, I can guarantee the FAA would like you to sit in your assigned seat. If that is the case, how does Southwest do W&B...
Jump to postSonaSounds wrote:At the end of the day, AA will stay in T2 and AS/VX will move to the new T1B where the will have more room to expand and a proper lounge can be built for them.
Not to derail too far, but will there be any room for other carriers to expand presence at SFO after these gate shuffles? The new T1-B will have swing gates as well as more gates than the old T1-B, they're adding an additional gate to T2-D, they're going to be reconfiguring T3-F, and I think they'r...
Jump to postWhat replaced the Concourse B gates that have already been demolished? What will replace the rest of the B gates currently being used by WN? The already-demolished gates haven't been replaced; airlines have been displaced mostly to IT-A (US was moved to T1C). Once the new T1B has been built and the...
Jump to postHopefully CI or BR add TPE-BOS-TPE service soon. I think there is room for one more asian carrier at BOS. Both CI and BR are great airlines, great service so they need to act before KE starts ICN-BOS-ICN service. I see BR starting it first. I think BR have expanded too quickly, if you look at their...
Jump to postSFO will also be reconfiguring the International Terminal so that all gates can be accessed post-security. Not sure on the timing but it is in the works. I've heard of the plans for reconfiguring the arrivals level for a unified CBP area, but how on earth would they be able to reconfigure the depar...
Jump to postInterestingly, 19" seat width compared to Virgin Atlantic, which has 21" wide seats on their A333's. If that's an attempt to keep the economy configuration in terms of the number of seats across the width of the plane, I think that the offering will be underwhelming. It is one less than e...
Jump to post[quote="trex8"]Will they use the same B/E Super Diamond J seat as the 77W and A359?/quote] BR's started outfitting their A333s with the B/E/ Diamond (same J seat as UA, CA, etc,). I can imagine CI going that route as well since it also continues the distinction between "Business"...
Jump to posthayzel777 wrote:They use mostly aircraft that says China Airlines. Does that not irk the Chinese the wrong way too?
I'm honestly surprised SFO didn't consider just using bussing for WN versus building a temporary terminal during T1 construction.
Jump to postEven if there aren't "excellent relations", BR will still get first dibs over route awards. It is highly likely CI will get into Spain, but it will be after BR gets there choices. The Toronto route awarding was a prime example of BR getting first dibs over CI. I don't really know how much...

I wonder if they have any plans to add gates for international use, including accommodating more wide bodies simultaneously?

Jump to postI'm assuming everyone is staying put until T1-B is finished because IIRC the plan was for AA to move there to begin with.
