Things in the Sky

I know, it’s been forever since I’ve done one of these. Sorry about that!

1. A bunch of US airlines (American, Continental, Delta, Hawaiian, and United) are vying for access to Haneda, and Cranky has all the details.
2. Frontier is pulling out of San Jose, California, where it currently has two daily flights during the week, and both Southwest and United have higher frequencies on the route.
3. Alaska and Horizon are launching paperless boarding passes in some markets. Alaska is finally getting a mobile website, too.
4. Lufthansa’s pilots will be striking from Monday to Thursday this coming week. The airline, will, however be operating some flights – click here for a schedule.
5. Qantas is taking first class off 9 of its 747-400s, and 8 A380s on the way wont be getting first at all. Flight has all the information.
