American And US Airways Continue To Improve First Class Catering

As most of you probably know by now, American and US Airways aligned their domestic catering as of September 1, 2014. For American flyers, these changes haven't been pretty.

Beginning on Tuesday, November 18th, there will be some further updates to the domestic first class catering for both American and US Airways.

Air China’s First 747-8 Destination Will Be New York JFK

Back in September I wrote about how Air China is the next airline to take delivery of the Boeing 747-8. To me, the 747 will always be the queen of the skies, and it's sad to see so many airlines retiring them. The 747-8 at least extends 747 service for a few airlines, though unfortunately the plane never really gained traction in terms of orders.

Lufthansa was the first airline to start flying the 747-8, and Air China is the second.

Air China initially announced that they'd first be flying the 747-8 within China for familiarization/training flights, and that their first longhaul 747-8 destination would be Frankfurt.
