An interview with Icelandair's CEO regarding the DTW launch in the Icelandic media today, with the headline stating the airline wants to make the flight year-round in the near future and comparing it to RDU, which started off last year on a seasonal basis and now has year-round service: https://www...

Welcome to DTW, Icelandair! I look forward to trying out this flight in October.
LH to fly the 789 into DTW daily starting Feb 13
LH442 FRA-DTW11:05AM - 14:25PM
LH443 DTW-FRA 16:15PM - 6:20AM (+1 day)

Sure I'll miss the A343 (my first international flight was on one), but they were looking a little tired.
I see that starting 08Jan, Delta is putting the NEO on MSP-ANC. Now that deliveries have ramped up, what other new routes out there see the NEO consistently? I noticed it on the evening DTW-LAX flight starting later this month and then the noon flight back to DTW. As my luck would have it, I will m...

So, the enhanced retiree package (age+ yrs service =70) is basically about 6 months of severance pay, 8 positive space tickets, 6 special retiree flight listings, above regular retirees but below active employees. 1 year normal flight privileges. 2 years medical/dental/vision.

Mods, why delete my simple question, yet allow almost half of this thread to be about the runway itself?

Jump to postEI and FI seem plausible. I really really really want to see DL make MUC year-round in the future instead of just seasonal. With LH starting the route next May, it might be a matter of who blinks first.

Jump to postLooks like the aircraft continued the same night on the regularly scheduled DL 18 to LHR. Weird that it didn’t continue to CDG. DL 18 was originally delayed due to a mechanical delay, hence swapping aircraft. It didn't help that Mr. Morin made alleged bomb threats to federal air marshalls on board ...
Jump to postThe one thing that makes me wonder is that this occurred 40 minutes after boarding. If that's the case and not something lost in translation within the article, why not return to IND, deplane him and the bag, and then continue?

Premium select and coach are more identical to the DL A350s than they do the AC 787s.
The JR Rail pass is more economical if you plan to venture outside of Tokyo and visit other regions in the country, otherwise, you're wasting lots of money. You'd be better off getting a SUICA and PASMO card. They are both rechargeable and make things far easier than having to figure out the fares b...
