It seems that MLB is no longer involved (other than that’s where Elite has their southern operations base). No word on if BTR put money on the table to make this happen or if it is something else, but – at least for now – BTR is the new hub.

According to SAS, they’ll start giving points next week. No idea when other *A airlines will follow suit.

[...] At the same time, however, it is somewhat new in a few ways. It mixes the driving and plane options in a single view rather than requiring a user to switch “tabs” in the map interface. It also appears to have the ability to push through to the Google Flights interface for more detailed searches and, eventually, pushing you off to a point of purchase with the specific details already selected. That’s a step up from the connectivity that is available today, though not a full integration (like Apple might be pursuing). [...]

@Chase Didn’t meant that as an attack. You have more knowledge on this stuff. Really just want to see those schematics come to life and I don’t see another way forward (in my lifetime)

Comment on New slimline seats on United: not the crappiest option! by Tom

Notice there’s no talk of a bigger F cabin in the A319. I think the coach seats will be similar to what Aegean has in their planes–LH like but with more padding. Still uncomfortable.
Not outfitting the whole plane with plugs is a mistake. I’d never pay for wifi/IFE that will result in my electronic devices void of juice on arrival.
Surprised the “new” United is killing off channel 9? Well since the the “new” United is really the “Hou” United, no I’m not surprised.

The CR2 is arguably the least comfortable commmercial passenger jet flying today. The windows are very low compared to the seats and it is not really wide enough to handle the 4-across cabin seating. Combine with the smallest overhead bins (though some props have no bins) and it really is an unfortunate passenger experience.

It is better than walking, I suuppose, but really not a comfortable plane.

The icons for next/previous month are in the top corners of the pop-up calendar. I need to figure out why they are not showing as they should. Just hover/click and it’ll switch.
