New partnerships, new productions, new pricing, new pains, and lots more….

Picking up a soon-to-be-disappearing line almost translates into a disappearing bag. Plus new routes, more planes, and a fewer flights at Newark.

There’s lots to unpack this week, including a new premium seat, a new paint job, and new route plans galore.
