Exactly WHAT makes it a Premium narrow body?? Wider seats, bigger bins, bigger windows, better AVOD? wider seats, more pitch, better AVOD are already on the entire B6 fleet. Let's not overstate DL A220-100 here. It's a good y seat domestically, but those 36 inch FC seat is pretty uninspiring. Don't...
Jump to postGreat job by UA. It's my 2nd favorite new livery after AS
Jump to postIf I were to fly B6 to Europe my concern wld be getting back home to the U.S. during inclement weather in the summer and winter. Their schedules go down hill quickly if weather conditions aren't perfect on the east coast.
Jump to postReading this post makes me realize how close the 3 major NYC area airports are to one another. I now have a better understanding to how quickly and easily things go down hill during not so perfect weather conditions. Then to add TEB into the mix.
Jump to postThere's a DL 763ER JFK-ATL this weekend and the flight # is 8801. Wld anyone know the purpose of this flight? It seems like a ferry flight being that the number is in the 8000s.
Jump to postWhat annoys me about when I travel on AA, UA or AS is that I've found that many times the outlets don't work. Same goes for WN since they don't offer outlets at all. So I have to choose to either do without IFE or deal with a drained battery when I arrive.
Jump to postRDU TPA (All airsides) and IND are my top 3
Jump to postI'm Gold with AA so I have traveled with them the last 2 yrs pretty often. Many of their customer service employees seem very hit or miss compared to DL WN and even UA. Half the time I board an AA flight the F/A is on their cell phone or having a conversation with another F/A that has nothing to do ...

Do any of the E175s sport the new livery?
Does anyone know total number of gates AA will have once all flights are under one roof?
Jump to postIs the new South Concourse still scheduled to open early 2019?
Jump to postI've flown the 717 with both FL and DL (mostly up front) and I agree its extremely noisy. I remember the rear being pretty quiet however.

Jump to postI love Southwest's "Transfarency" policy, but I really don't think it's going to last forever. People have been saying this for over a decade now and bags (<- plural) still fly free. Not saying it won't happen, but there's no indication it will at the moment, the airline is producing near...

Saw MD-90 N916DN depart yesterday and noticed that the right wingtip strobe was a flashing LED exactly like on the newer B739s whereas the left wingtip strobe was a standard blinking light.

Jump to postNoticed there has been work going on for about a week and now the iconic Welcome to New York sign on the edge of LGA Rwy 13/31 has been removed. I've heard a replacement is on the way. Also, things seem to be moving along with the construction progress. The new B Concourse has gate numbers on the je...
Jump to postLooks like a pair of A319s will be operating IAH-LAX on AA in the fall winter schedule.
Jump to postPay attention AA. This is one reason DL is the go to airline for domestic travel.
Jump to postI stated many times in this thread I do NOT fly the MD90/MD88 or 717 so that makes 100% AVOD for me. Its quite easy to avoid those plane types by avoiding ATL If only avoiding ATL could guarantee not flying the MD-88/90 or 717 I am connecting BNA-DTW-AMS and the BNA-DTW is on the 717 but my consola...
Jump to postAA, DL, and UA all have a $25 fee for the first checked bag: https://traveltips.usatoday.com/airlines-baggage-fees-61226.html WN has 2 free checked bags B6 has 1 free checked bag AS has a $25 fee for the first bag as well. I believe B6 only allows the 1st bag free on the two higher tier fare catego...
Jump to postI've said it before and I will say it again, DL has done an amazing job converting the entire fleet (less the dogs to be retired), into beautiful, passenger friendly birds. I fly all the time and I really appreciate AVOD nearly 100% of the time, across the network. Nice new seats, overhead bins, mo...
Jump to postIt's not an airport but I believe Terminal A (MAT) at LGA is one large room with 5 or 6 gates. I arrived on B6 one afternoon and it looked like a club it was so crowded.
Jump to postI believe some domestic gates were converted to swing gates capable of international or domestic use.
Jump to postSeems like there was a water main break at LGA Terminal B and there are no restrooms for passengers or employees. The Port Authority has had portable toilets in use for several hours now. That new terminal can't finish soon enough.
Jump to postI travel domestically pretty often and have always found MCO to have the longest TSA lines. However, I flew out of SEA on a Sunday at 4p and have never experienced lines so long at the checkpoint nearest the B gates. If my hotel didn't honor my 2 pm late check out request I may have missed my flight...

Jump to postIt always surprises me how excited people get for prepackaged junk food on a two hour flight. I find that odd as well ... especially if they are still serving free booze. Yea, free alcohol wld get my money too, although I do know many people who don't drink. I guess some passengers prefer the free ...

Great job to AS and WN. Im pretty surprised B6 was so near the bottom of the list.
Yes I have to agree with you about the ugliest A350 out there. Shame because the A350 is such an amazing looking aircraft.

Happy to hear the E190s will be retired soon.Flew on them several times YYZ-LGA in the last year or so and they are shabby and depressing and ready for the Victorville scrapyard. LOL that's not very complimentary to aircraft that are only 10-12 years old. I've always thought the E90s to be a very n...
Jump to postMy main grip with the CRJ is also the low placement of the windows. Luckily I haven't flown on a CRJ in many years. I definitely remember knowing when the gear was lowered because of the loud bang.
Jump to postWould B6 having 3 configurations for their A321s (Mint, Core, LR) pose any challenges?
Jump to postWell, if you miss all the signs (electronic and regular) on every road leading to the airport you should miss your flight. I agree with you on that one. It never ceases to amaze me how many people ask questions and their are neon and printed signs/arrows and directions all over with answers. Too ma...
Jump to postI flew into the MAT from BOS one Saturday and I was surprised at how small and bare bones the gate area is. Kinda like one large room.
Must be just as miserable as the CTB/Concourse A was during delays or peak times.
I flew N667DN JFK-ATL on Jan. 19th and noticed it flew to AMA after. Is it getting painted? It looked like a fresh coat would due her well.
Jump to postThere are/were a handful of 32B's with the red tips as well.
Jump to postGood to see RIC get an additional DEN flight next summer. Will it go to 2x E75 or will mainline remain?
Jump to postAnd also, I am not expecting any 757 retirement this coming year 2018. Because the 34 units that are left are International 757s, 34 International 757s which include 10 ex-US International 757s doing PHX-Hawaii runs, and they are likely to stay in the fleet for a while. American retired all of its ...
Jump to postSpirit flies IAH-LGA? Or did they mean DFW-LGA maybe?
Jump to postI would say that terminal 7 is about 75% complete. The gates at the end were being worked on when I was last there in early Nov. Terminal 8 seemed to be moving along more slowly with the renovation. The new TSA is also up and running.
Jump to postI also think the updates are a big improvement. I haven't flown to or through ATL in about 5 months and looking forward to seeing the progress later this month. Does anyone know how far along the project is and its expected completion date?
Jump to postI'm still baffled how so many people find airplanes so uncomfortable, but as a DL Silver and AA Gold I personally find all classes to be comfortable for pretty much any flight I take. This includes DL's 199 pax 757s. In First I'm comfortable, in Delta Comfort + I'm enjoy my flights and no issues wit...
Jump to postI think AA does a pretty good job with ORD. I rarely have any issues with delays flying to or through ORD on AA. I feel the facilities aren't the best but the operation usually runs smoothly for the most part. The only AA hub that's hit or miss with me is MIA because of delays and the attitude of so...
