A large piece of driftwood lies on a sandy beach with gentle waves lapping at the shore. The sky is overcast, and there are palm trees and vegetation in the distance along the coastline. The water is a light turquoise color, and the beach appears to be relatively empty and serene.

Capacity collusion, CRJ Coffin Corner and Cuba’s Challenges. Lots of strange stories in this week’s show.

The image shows a section of the Great Wall of China on a foggy day. The stone pathway is flanked by brick walls with small rectangular openings. The visibility is low due to the dense fog, giving the scene a mysterious and serene atmosphere. The path curves and ascends into the mist, disappearing from view.

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.
