DLD 450: Wait, there’s now lounge elite status??

Delta made waves with its SkyMiles/SkyClub rules changes last week. Plus, new seats, new routes, and an end to revenge.

DLD 449: Trademarks and diversions

Intellectual property is a very real thing. So are weather-induced diversions these days.

DLD 447: Too much red

How much money can a one-plane airline lose in just two months? More than just about everyone involved expected.

DLD 437: The Bourget

Summer in Paris, perhaps a delightful experience. A week at Le Bourget, however, is far less appealing for us. But there’s a bit of news worth discussing.

DLD 435: An eye on the future

New planes, new routes, and new seats all bode well for the future. And some lines being dropped might not be so bad, either.

DLD 434: Trust buster

Aerial view of an airport with multiple runways, taxiways, and aircraft parked near terminal buildings. The image shows a large runway marked with the number 23, various airport facilities, and surrounding urban areas with buildings and roads. The wing of an airplane is visible in the foreground, indicating the photo was taken from an aircraft in flight. The image is credited to @WandrMe.

JetBlue and American Airlines have a lot of work to do if they’re going to keep the NEA alive. A judge ruled it illegal last Friday, setting up all sorts of challenges for the carriers.

DLD 432: You want fries with that

The image shows a Frontier Airlines airplane parked at an airport gate. The aircraft has the word "FRONTIER" written in large green letters on its fuselage. The tail of the plane features a large image of a squirrel, and the name "Sammy the Squirrel" is written near the front of the plane. There is another Frontier Airlines plane in the background with a different animal image on its tail. Various ground service vehicles and equipment are positioned around the planes. The sky is overcast, and the airport terminal building is visible in the background.

Can fries be reasonably served as a side on board? And, quite frankly, why not tater tots instead??
