Re: AUS eyes nonstop flights to 7 interc’l destinations: AMS, BJS, DUB, CDG, ICN, PVG, TYO

Yeah I think Podonktown, USA is eyeing big international routes as well... AUS handled 16m passengers last year and is on pace for 17+ this year (basically growing at 8-9% per year), which is about on par with PDX, which has nonstop service to Asia, and bigger than SJC/ONT (though those are obvious...

Re: American Airlines Launches Facial Recognition To Board Passengers At DFW Airport

I hadn't heard that this was in the works. I wonder if this will actually speed up boarding. Right now it's just for international flights. DFW AIRPORT (CBSDFW.COM) – American Airlines has begun using facial recognition technology to board some passengers at DFW Airport. The facial scans replace th...

Re: LH to announce two new US-routes from MUC

as promised to you, the 3 new destinations from MUC are public now. I'm actually quite surprised about the timings for BLR and SEA: - LH765 BLR-MUC arrives 07:30 in the morning. Especially for North America connections quite a long wait and particularly for SFO (leaving late afternoon 4.10pm) very ...

Re: LH to announce two new US-routes from MUC

Airbazar, the SIMPLE fact is US-India is NOT that profitable for LH and that's why they charge high prices (and for those corporate's locked into the UA/LH TATL A++ JV they can get away with it). Literally LH and every other European airline can charge more for half the distance flown. Again India ...

Re: AA DFW-FCO/AMS Inaugural Today!!

Re: Air India to increase to daily flight on SFO-DEL

Re: Emirates Announces Newark via Athens from 12MAR17
