DLD 265: A luxury CRJ200 experience

The image shows a Qantas airplane parked inside a hangar at night. The aircraft has a special livery with the number "100" prominently displayed on the fuselage, likely celebrating the airline's centenary. The plane is being towed by a ground vehicle. The hangar is well-lit, and the Qantas logo is visible on the side of the plane and on the tail.

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.

DLD 218: Smoothing connections

Alt text: The image shows the interior of a modern airport terminal with a high, arched ceiling. The terminal is bustling with travelers, some standing in line at check-in counters and others walking through the area. There are several signs and information boards, as well as kiosks and counters along the sides. The architecture features large windows allowing natural light to illuminate the space.

A smooth connection in Seattle was unexpected. Smoothing connections in Africa might be useful. And Brexit likely means rough connections for millions. Hooray!

DLD 204: Low-balling the buyout offer

Alt text: A busy highway at dusk with heavy traffic. The left side of the highway is congested with cars, their headlights creating a stream of light. The right side has fewer cars, with their taillights visible. The sky is darkening, and city lights and buildings are visible in the background. Power lines and poles are silhouetted against the sky.

It is an interesting time to be a 3rd party loyalty program operator. Air Canada is now trying to buy back Aeroplan and Aeromexico made a move, too. Plus, the TSA might be tracking you for no good reason, a 787 got lost at Narita and Delta is downgrading passengers when upgrading some aircraft.
