Jump to postI fly almost exclusively AA (more due to routes I fly than loyalty) and have no status. Even I notice the ridiculous amount of elites now. The First upgrade list was over 50 people both ways on a 737 last week. Group 5 wasn't until almost 2/3 of the passengers had boarded. Last month, they started f...
Jump to postAt what point do we see AA/Eagle drop PHF in favor of consolidating their operation in the region over at ORF? They have a monopoly on a once much larger market, so I find PHF losing service entirely to be unlikely With how bad traffic across the bridge/tunnel can get, I think PHF definitely has va...

Avelo has that route covered from HVN with four flights a week. I believe Spirit does BDL-MYR daily during the summer, Spirit flys BDL-MYR 2x daily at times. I've always thought MYR could do more. Coastal SC gets a ton of drivers from the NE, MW, and Canada. BDL may be served already, but I wager P...
Jump to postDidn't CLT-HNL not work for US because it didn't have the right equipment to do it nonstop during the winter? AA flew it not long ago with a 772. My understanding was that the comeback of CLT-HNL was basically just AA trying to put a 772 to use when people weren't traveling abroad. It ended in earl...

Dulles on the Metro is a life-saver for that airport.

Jump to postSad to see Tapatalk go. It was quite good for mobile users like 90% of the time. Far better than the mobile website we are now stuck using.
