If nothing else, I wish DE would start earlier than 6/28. I’d like to support them, but it becomes more and more difficult with a shorter window. I agree. I'd like to take advantage of Condor, but our travel needs to Europe tend to occur before 6/28 and after the service end for the season... I don...

Jump to postI have flown Spirit a number of times and was always confused at the seat pricing costs.... Here is a recent example from our trip to LAS. - I did not select seats during booking - 2 weeks out from the trip I logged in and saw 2 big front seats available for half their normal price. - 1.5 weeks out ...
Jump to postAirlines should not be state run. As a matter of fact it is time to liberalize the market completely. A good start would be allowing foreign airlines to offer domestic flights and 5th,7th & 8th freedom flights in the US. Time to utilize that cheap labor and those cheap maintenance costs of othe...

If you were to poll PA residents and ask if they would rather have their funds used to establish additional air service from PIT or used toward education, I wonder what the vote would...
Jump to postDisappointing no doubt, but it was a good ten year run for this route. I said just a week or so ago PIT-Europe was DL's to lose before DE, WW, and BA entered the market, but instead they preferred sky high fares on a limited season. Not the end of the world however. In two years DL will have droppe...
Jump to postThis would be as good a time as any for DL to give PIT-LAX a try. Maybe they're waiting for the A220s, which would be ideal at a double daily frequency. I've long thought one of the problems with PIT-LAX is that whoever runs that route needs to run it twice daily (morning and evening), and 2X 320/7...
Jump to postI don't understand why Airliners.net has not yet implemented their SSL? With all of the major changes (i.e. Google requiring it), why has Airliners.net not implemented one?
An SSL costs $8.99/year and takes about 30 minutes of a developers time to implement onto a website.
There's another angle here no one is talking about and that is the race to win HQ2. While London and Dublin flights are not a requirement as part of Amazon's RFP, it certainly helps our cause to have LHR and potentially DUB.

Jump to postI would argue WFS isn't doing fantastic either. It takes so long to get my bags after coming back from BOS on B6. Plus they have been lost a few times and never made in on the plane in Pittsburgh. Baffles me how it can be so bad. I do understand that they have to be physically driven from airside t...

Jump to postNK is suspending PIT-DFW in the Fall. Not sure yet if it’s going seasonal or the cut is permanent (although I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s completely gone).
