Another mistake fare in the news this week, this time on American Airlines in business class to China. Delta is changing Medallion qualification rules slightly for the better and United gave its lounge food offerings a bump up. Also, Ryanair may actually fly TATL, or it might not.
The DoT stops being quite so consumer-friendly while Bombardier has the first flight of a plane it claims is much more passenger-friendly. SPG & Uber team up and LaGuardia might go long(ish)-haul. Plus some thoughts on taking a bump.
How did SHARES best Sabre? Ask American Airlines and its 787 inaugural flight. Plus a lost wallet, two programs going variable on award prices and a mistake fare which raises all sorts of questions.
This week’s episode talks about new seats coming, some much more comfy that others. Also a promo on the horizon from SPG and American gives a nod to its history.
On this week’s show we’re talking in and about Krakow, Poland. The aviation museum is an #AvGeek mecca and the show may include a vodka tasting. Also, stories about passengers flying without pants.
Qatar Airways took delivery of the very first A350 in late December. In early January they had a party to show off the new toy. And we were at the event with a special guest.
Happy new year! Today we’re talking about airline PR blunders, plans for 2015 and how the new mileage earning rules are changing behavior (or not).
