When ultra long haul just isn’t enough, welcome to ludicrous haul. Plus some time spent with United executives, more delays from Boeing and more orders for Airbus.
Is there such a thing as a nice CRJ200 ride? And why might a new world’s longest flight be a bad idea?? Plus another top tier got harder to realize and LAX is moving its pickup zone outside the terminal loop.
A bad week for many United Airlines frequent flyer members and probably an even worse week for Boeing lead this weeks show. Plus SIM cards and South America and swanky Starlux.
With 4.5 hours to connect in Hong Kong there are a few options on the table. Sure, the first class lounges call, but a quick trip into town to chat with a friend can also be a smart play.
A bit of a trip report this week, with tales from Hanoi and how we got here.
Two airlines disappearing in a month is bad news, but that seems to be what’s happening right now. Plus some loyalty changes in Canada and Australia and a silent ride over Oregon in a balloon.
When APEX, AIX and IFSA get together there should be enough going on to generate some interesting news. Or, perhaps not. The annual Fall trade show bonanza was slow this year, but we still managed to find a few things to talk about.
What happens when booking classes all go away? We should know soon, and this week’s show has a preview from the inside.
![The image shows a large sign on the ground near an airport runway that reads "WELCOME TO [heart symbol] NEW YORK." The heart symbol is red, and the rest of the text is in white letters on a black background. In the background, there is a body of water and a city skyline with various buildings. The foreground includes a grassy area and part of the runway.](https://moredotsmorelines.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/welcome-to-new-york-lga-laguardia.jpg)
No, really, some love for the old LaGuardia leads off this week’s show. Plus some new plane types, strike compensation and a mistake connecting in Cairo.
Strikes happen. In aviation the impact can be dramatic, but usually it gets figured out well enough. British Airways managed to throw that playbook out the window this week, however.
