Jump to postMost Caribbean airports lack a full-length taxiway, so aircraft have to taxi on the runways. What's the situation at POS? The taxiways on the same side as the airport building don’t go all the way to the end of the runways so some taxiing on the runway is required or alternatively aircraft cross th...

Jump to postNo, the LGW service to BGI ends. All BGI flights will operate from LHR. Thanks, for the information I somehow thought they would use the 78-10 for the summer period and go back to 777W and flights from LGW for winter. I think that the issue here is that premium leisure has been the travel sector wh...
Jump to postAgreed. AA's Main Cabin product isn't comparable to ULCCs for all the reasons you state. What separates AA from UA and DL (and not evenly across all aircraft types) is PTVs and free(ish) WIFI. AA's WIFI is more expensive, but it works more consistently and reliably than UA's and DL's on domestic fl...
Jump to postAA's standard seat pitch in economy is 31"-32", while DL's is 31" and UA's is 30". WN's is 31"-33", depending on aircraft. Virtually the only difference in hard product between AA and DL/UA is the lack of PTVs on narrowbodies, which is something that the average econom...
Jump to postAA sounds like WN but with less seat pitch, Basic Economy fares, and bag fees, frankly. It sounds exactly like that with the only plus in AA’s favor being assigned seating (that may or may not come with a fee). I keep seeing all these justifications for AA’s lack of an investment in a hard product ...
