The airlines promoted basic economy as a way for them to compete with the low cost carriers. But in reality, it‘s just a thinly veiled fare increase since we‘re being asked to pay more to get the same level of service as we had before. United‘s version of basic economy is particularly punitive toward their best customers since it forces them to pay more just to use their hard earned elite benefits. United Premiers wanting to sit

In the world of politics, what seems obvious is often only a clever cover for something less obvious. By all accounts, United‘s decision to add transatlantic service between Denver and London was a strategic move to challenge Norwegian Air.

A few days agoI wrote about how airberlin filed for insolvency,after Etihad withdrew its financial support. There‘s no need to panic immediately, as the German government is giving the airline an emergency loan of 150 million Euros, which is expected to last them for a few months. Hopefully they are able to restructure and continue to operate in one form or another after that date. While there aren‘t immediate impacts as far as their
