More and more businesses and individuals are using landing pages to custom-tailor their marketing messaging to various traffic sources and customer types.
American is in the process of refreshing their longhaul fleet. This includes both reconfiguring their current fleet (installing new seats on their 757-200s, 767-300s, and 777-200s), as well as taking delivery of new aircraft. So far American has taken delivery of 16 777-300ERs, with four more to come.
The next part of American's fleet renewal plan is to begin taking delivery of some 787s, which American has 42 of on firm order. Originally American was supposed to begin taking delivery of these by November 2014, though obviously that has been delayed.
Per the Dallas Morning News, it looks like American won't be taking delivery of their first 787 until the first quarter of next year:

Just off the phone with American Express, and their contract renewal for the co-brand relationship with Delta means that the anticipated cap on transfers from Membership Rewards to Delta — the limit of 250,000 points transferred per calendar year effective January 1 — will not happen. Presumably other partner transfers, where the relationship isn’t as […]

All Nippon Airways (ANA) has just announced that they will be starting nonstop flights between Tokyo Narita and Houston as of June 12, 2015. This will be ANA's 10th route to North America, and seems like a pretty obvious choice, between Houston being such a big oil city, and it also being the hub of their joint venture partner, United.
The new route will operate daily with the following schedule:
NH174 Tokyo Narita to Houston departing 11:15AM arriving 9:30AM
NH173 Houston to Tokyo Narita departing 11:20AM arriving 3:20PM (+1 day)
The flight is set to be operated by a Boeing 777-300ER, featuring eight first class seats, 52 business class seats, and 190 economy class seats. This should be ANA's most updated version of the 777-300ER, featuring fully flat beds in both first and business class.

Historically airlines have sugar-coated changes. When they reduce the value of their loyalty program, increase fees, or otherwise making the travel experience more cumbersome, they tend to couch changes as enhancements. We should be happy that we’ll get fewer miles, have fewer seats with extra legroom, and a more difficult time earning elite status. A […]

Let me start by saying there are real problems in the world, and this ain't one of them. ;)
Rather, this is one of those things that I notice all too often, which seems like such an easy opportunity to make a guest feel more welcome.
Yesterday a friend and I were checking into an Andaz property. We've both stayed at the property several times before. And we had two different -- but equally incompetent -- check-in experiences.
Maybe two minutes into the check-in experience, the associate asked me "have you stayed with us before?" Now, hotel chains have incredibly powerful databases which store quite a bit of guest information. The most simple thing they store is whether a guest has stayed at your hotel before or not.
