American And Hawaiian Fight Over Delta’s Sloppy Seconds

2014 was a year filled with fabulous drama and shade throwing in the airline industry, from the Battle in Seattle, to His Excellency rejecting his new toy because it had a scratch on it.

But quite possibly the biggest pre-school feud of the airline industry last year was with Delta's Tokyo Haneda slot. The situation can best be summed up by saying that Delta had a toy they didn't actually want to play with, but they didn't want anyone else to be allowed to play with it either.

Japan flights are heavily slot restricted, in particular at Tokyo Haneda, which is the airport closest to central Tokyo. Previously the airport was just for regional flights, though a few years back they started issuing slots for longhaul flights, but only for late night and early morning departures and arrivals.

Myth: Airlines Always Open Award Seats When The Schedule Opens

This year I'd like to spend a bit more time on the blog covering the basics of earning and redeeming miles. I realize that might not be the most exciting thing for long time readers, but even after blogging for nearly seven years my readership more than doubles every year, and I realize that leaves some people lost.

Reader Charlotte asked the following question on the Ask Lucky page of the blog, which I wanted to address:

"At what time (EST) does SQ release their award space to their own members each day on their website? Every day that I check, the latest saver space on the calendar is already waitlisted and snatched up before I get there."
