Akbar Al Baker Responds To Delta… And Is A Huge Liar

I'm not going to lie, I love drama. Not in my own life, but in others' lives. My life is fairly drama free nowadays, which is why I'm such a big fan of shows like Real Housewives.

The airline industry had its fair share of drama in 2014, from the Battle in Seattle between Alaska and Delta, to Qatar Airways' A380 delivery.

But it seems like the greatest drama in 2015 will be the battle between the "big three" US carriers and the "big three" Middle Eastern carriers over Open-Skies.

As I've explained, the argument basically boils down to the following:

Twitter is now apparently even more worthless than you think

At the heart of the media's chattiest technology - Twitter - is a hollow sharing economy.

Asiana Adding More First Class Capacity To Los Angeles

Asiana began their longhaul A380 service between Seoul Incheon and Los Angeles as of last fall, and just recently announced that they'll expand A380 service to New York JFK as of June 13, 2015.

Asiana's route to New York JFK was previously operated by a Boeing 777-200ER in a three class configuration, meaning it featured a first class cabin. A majority of Asiana's 777s are in a two class configuration (without first class), so I was kind of curious which route they'd next put the three class 777 on, given that they no longer needed it for JFK. As I explained in the previous post:

"Now the question remains as to which route will get the 777-200 which is currently operating the New York JFK route. This is one of the 777s with their new first class product, while most of their other 777s are in a two class configuration, without a first class cabin. So that will be a big upgrade for whichever route gets it. My money is on either the second daily Los Angeles flight or the Chicago flight."

Comments Are Back, For Now

Our relaxing evening at the "blog spa" did not go quite as planned. For those just joining, comments were down on the blog for a few hours while the tech team tried to push some updates through.

For reasons that sound plausible (but I don't quite understand), some technical issues got in the way, and we're not going to be able to make the planned updates.

So spa day is canceled, sadly, and we'll have to try again later in the week.
