The simple solution is to end the EAS program for the vast majority of these cities. Get in your car and drive. Not every airport needs to be served. If there is viable air service within two hours then drive to the airport. I’d be fine cutting the one hour and less away ones tomorrow. 2 hours is a...
Jump to postI mainly fly American, but I am more than willing to fly on Delta, United, or JetBlue. But would you consider flying Spirit, Frontier or Allegiant? Because a lot of people do. They find American, Delta, United and JetBlue to be too expensive and look for cheaper alternatives. Those full-service air...
Jump to postHave to agree with the others: the airlines already offer lots of little upgrades to economy. You just have to pay for them. Premium Economy is one example of how they're really trying to cut down to the most essential stuff (legroom, seat width, more cushioning, and somewhat better food) that peop...

Jump to postIt depresses me to think that more and more people don't care about the nice things you used to get in Economy. I always enjoyed the inflight magazine. True, but those nice things rack up the price. That's considered more important these days. Many airlines still have an inflight magazine by the wa...

Jump to postI want the cheapest ticket price available. I'll spend my money once I get to my destination. Being uncomfortable for a few hours is a small price to pay imo It depends on the trip. I often fly Australia/New Zealand to the UK. For me journeys of 30+ hours in economy are the norm. Comfort matters on...
Jump to postI don't think we're going to see much improvement at all in Economy; in fact, I think airlines are going to continue degrading the product as much as possible. We're already seeing it with airlines squeezing in more slimline seats and starting to reduce frequent flyer benefits on Basic Economy tick...
Jump to postSomething that would make tight sitting economy passengers life better would be slightly upgraded economy food on longer range flights again. This is where airlines have saved too much compared to the old days from my view. It is not that expensive from a cost perspective but makes a big real world...
Jump to postWhen things get a little better for the airlines what services do you all think airlines would be willing to add to make the ride in Economy better. I would pay more to get more services in Economy. May I ask, what services would you be willing to pay more for? As is, between "Premium Economy&...

Jump to postWhen I flew on Boutique out of Johnstown I used to love to sit in the rear facing seat.
Jump to postI liked their tails. Do you remember what the flight was like? 737-200, standard all coach, to short for much of a service, but only about 1/3rd full midweek. They had deals with the casinos. The flights were operated by Casino Express (later named Xtra Airways and now known as Avelo), the history ...

Got to fly Tahoe once, from SJC…
Interesting little operation.
Tahoe had a gorgeous terminal building.

Jump to postYou did a great job with your trip reports. Me, and my girlfriend may be flying on JetBlue for the first time in January, and I can't wait.
Jump to postI love this little airline. Especially the rear facing seats. I used to fly on them a lot from Johnstown to Baltimore.

No, the original poster was correct. The airlines based their staffing planning and needs on what the CDC and other experts predicted for air travel, which was people being shy about flying for up to 3 years after the pandemic slows due to trauma and financial hardship, or possible re-surges. Well....
Jump to postWith programs like Microsoft Teams, and Zoom becoming evermore popular it makes no sense to have employees fly for work.

Jump to postThis is one of the most enjoyable TRs I have ever read.
Jump to postWhat about service to the Washington/Baltimore area? Could that work?
Jump to postOnce they start receiving their 787's would they consider expanding their service to other east coast cities, or coming back to Orlando?
Jump to postBut trains can easily pull into a station for a crew change, and I assume commuter trains aren't continuously running routes that are long enough to where this could be an issue. A plane can't just pull over at the nearest cloud for crew break. What do you do for a flight going from SFO to Hawaii o...

I love nuts, but not at the cost of someone else's life. I guess I don't see why it is a big deal to give up nuts for one flight.
Jump to postI wonder which brand will survive? I’m leaning towards Spirit as they’ve had such a large international footprint for years, plus in major U.S markets, I’d say that more people know the name Spirit than Frontier (unless you live in Denver) due to overall frequency of flights. But of course I could ...

Jump to postI mean, a lot of airlines have suspended all on-board liquor sales which makes them tons of money. That's a big step, I think. First, the airlines should offer at least 32 inches of leg room (like Southwest) so we are not crammed in like sardines. Second, there should be a universal dress code that...
Jump to postI see the FAA's point. The airline employees are the ones on the frontline, not the FAA.
Jump to postBecause MCO is a huge airport and it recently took me an hour from my arrival gate to driving away in my rental car. That eats into that 45 minutes. MCO is also losing Disney’s Magical Express as a free Disney transportation option next year. That is because Brightline is going to have a non-stop t...
Jump to postDespite living in Florida for many years, I just found out that Orlando has another airport 45 minutes north of MCO called "Sanford," which also has international traffic. Being that Sanford is farther away from downtown Orlando and the major theme parks, why would an airline choose to fl...
