Everything is changing, from routes to aircraft types to terminals to award charts. And there’s a good reason it is happening now. Plus, concerts on planes and a major airport expansion on the horizon.

The image shows a large water fountain spraying a tall jet of water into the air, set against a backdrop of a cityscape with buildings and a church steeple. The sky is partly cloudy with patches of blue, and there are mountains visible in the distance. The water from the fountain creates a misty effect as it falls back down. The image is taken during the daytime.

There’s something particularly strange about building an itinerary just to fly 4 different LCCs in 2 days in Japan. That’s what we have Seth for. Plus, a 767 renaissance, LGA shuffles, SFO air art and more.

The image shows the wing of an airplane in flight over a vast body of water. The ocean below is calm and glistening under the sunlight. In the distance, there are a few ships visible on the water, and a landmass can be seen on the horizon. The sky is clear and blue. The photo is taken from the perspective of someone inside the airplane, looking out at the wing and the scenery beyond. The image is credited to @WandrMe in the bottom right corner.

Maybe everyone isn’t crazy and they just have really bad ideas, right? A couple bankruptcies and a couple investments, plus a pair of new routes that just might work. C’mon in.

A scenic beach with clear blue water and a sandy shore. People are enjoying various activities such as swimming, windsurfing, and walking along the beach. A colorful sailboat is visible near the shore. In the background, there is lush greenery with palm trees and a large hotel building. The sky is partly cloudy.

Lots of routes dropping in the coming months, thanks to crew shortages, shifting travel demand and maybe even fleet challenges. Another “mistake” fare scuttled and some talk about cabin density and how that translates to profits, too.
