The most obvious solution is to have some US airline fly to the ME. It's definitely not going to be AA or DL. UA maybe? Honestly, it depends how significant the taxes are. Maybe pax will get used to it, like at LHR, but UK surcharges aren't designed to punish competitors while this is. If DL really ...

JAL would be another notable exception, but NH is there already so I digress.

But as noted above, people are paying a premium to fly without the tech stop or any stop. They aren't being forced to endure. They are paying more to get there faster. I think that perhaps, that's key to understanding/contemplating/conceptualizing what QF is attempting to achieve here. I mean, I wo...

UA is printing money on the SIN flights. It caused Singapore Air to move up their service from 2018. c.

By the looks of things United Airlines B747-400 N127UA which was scheduled to be withdrawn from service by 15 Aug 2017 is still flying past its withdrawal date could it be an aircraft swap over?

Jump to postI also caught the attention of a TSA officer airside recently for what must have been an incredibly dubious reason, because when I asked what the problem was, I did not get an answer. He went through my phone and surprise, surprise, he found nothing. Luckily, he left me alone after that, but it defi...
Jump to postThen there was the local news reporter that raced up to a man headed down the concourse. The reporter asked who he was there to meet and where they were coming from. "My wife" he said, "from Detroit". The reporter sickeningly stated as he shoved the camera in his face "your...

Is it possible that QR moves to FLL to retain a strong position in South Florida by partnering with B6 after AA dropped the codeshare weakening MIA?
Jump to postThe website above shows the last date as 11/20/17. Wasn't the last published date in October? Did UA push back retirement by a month, and if so, how did the source find out? Is there any chance they push it back into December? Also, what is the difference between the last flight of an airframe and r...
Jump to postIs it/would it be possible for BA to deploy the 380 to LGW or are they only based out of LHR? If they do it, it is LHR no question. But if I was BA, I would just cut LGW altogether and merge the two into one; O/D to/from London doesn't care if its LGW or LHR, so why not kill two birds with one stone?
Jump to postIt's always been on my bucket list to wander around and look at vintage (retired) aircraft that were parked in the desert. Everyone knows VCV is the place to do it.

Jump to postThe ME3 are a sham. Government funded so profit isn't main goal setter.

Jump to postSo has anybody tried out this bus? Do they allow transfers for T5 lounges?
Jump to postT5 isn't that bad. The only problem is the train ride to the main terminal and security for international arrivals. For international departures, there is a bus from T3 to T5 for BA departures. There is a new bus from G17 and the K20 at Term 3 to Term 5 from 10:30 to 8 pm daily. It is for all airli...

AA's strategy at JFK has always puzzled me. Despite having one of the strongest O/D bases in the country, it has essentially ceded the market to Delta and JetBlue and has not taken advantage of premium domestic traffic nor expansive Int'l connections opportunities in any particularly meaningful way,...

I'll pick option D, AS and SJC. They seem to be in growth mode right now and I wouldn't be surprised to see TPA-SJC pop up. That said, MCO has SEA, SAN, and PDX... Either of the latter two could come up first. As far as who's first, it's anybody's guess. Delta to SEA is a matter of time. But let's b...

Jump to postMCO is definitely a focus city, with AMS and GRU, it is actually more of a mini hub rather than a focus city. I believe that outside of PDX, MCO is the only city with two long-hauls. If they add LHR, it will be the only one with three. I think the only reason MCO is not officially a hub is that its ...
