Why I always buy travel insurance even post departure

American Airlines is adding three ‘new’ destinations and seven new routes to its long-haul network for summer 2027.The…

American adds new flights from Philadelphia, New York and Charlotte, with four routes using 155-seat A321XLRs. Vienna runs through early January 2028; Reykjavik gets a 196-seat domestic A321neo, and tickets go on sale August 31.

Yesterday, American Airlines teased plans to announce new international routes, with a fun game inviting travelers to ”decode” the destinations the airline would add. Well, the wait is over, and American has just announced the details of its international expansion for the summer of 2027.

One of the most dangerous things that can happen on a cruise ship is going overboard, and this past week gave us another gut punch of a reminder. On the night of Sunday, August 23, a passenger went over the balcony on the Norwegian Getaway during the final night of...

Qantas has just made a few passenger experience announcements. I’ve already covered how the airline will introduce new business class suites on upcoming Boeing 787 deliveries, and how the airline will retire Airbus A380s earlier than planned. On top of that, the airline has also unveiled the business class suites...

Delta Air Lines Chief Commercial Officer Joe Esposito told Delta’s largest corporate customers that Singapore will follow Manila, LAX–Seoul is coming and every major Los Angeles business market will soon be covered, while rejecting United’s long-haul narrowbody strategy.

Qantas will introduce status-credit rollover and up to 140 credits from partner spending, but renewal thresholds rise, the Loyalty Bonus disappears and Points Club closes. Members who barely requalify—and heavy Points Club users—come out behind.

American Airlines is refreshing its complimentary economy class snacks this fall, replacing its longstanding pretzel or Biscoff selection with a broader lineup that includes Goldfish, Tate’s Bake Shop chocolate chip cookies, and Peterson’s savory and sweet snack mix. American Airlines Is Finally Improving Its Complimentary Economy Class Snacks American Airlines...

I love daytime flights to Europe. It’s usually necessary to get up early to catch the flight, and then, after around 7 hours of flying, you arrive in Europe at night, tired and ready for bed. Your hotel room is ready, so you can check right in (which is often...

Qantas has unveiled its latest Business Class suites, which will appear on the next deliveries of Airbus A321XLR and Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, due for delivery from 2028 onwards. While the suites on the two aircraft are quite different, they both feature sliding privacy doors. Perhaps the most interesting part of...

Qantas has today announced plans for an all-new business class seat for its Dreamliners, though it’s not the best business class seat that the oneworld carrier has in store for us…

The Australian flag carrier Qantas has moved up the retirement of its fleet of ten Airbus A380 superjumbos, with the world’s largest passenger jet set to start leaving the airline’s fleet from 2028 – four years earlier than originally planned. While the double-deck aircraft had not only been “critical” to...

Qantas has announced that it will move forward its Airbus A380 retirement by four years, and they’ll now be phased out as of 2028. If you’re like me, and are a fan of the A380, that’s obviously bad news. I should also mention that if you don’t like paying a...

The Delta Boeing 757 reached a gate five minutes after touchdown and then continued to Boston after a crew change. A report that the captain had appendicitis and was undergoing surgery remains unconfirmed.

We have all been there at one time or another: the airplane has finally landed and pulled up to the gate late; and some passengers aboard the airplane are nervous about having a tight connection, hoping to catch the next flight in time — even if they have to run...

An American Airlines pilot flew Boeing’s still-uncertified 777-9 and calls it “AAmazing” while the carrier runs a live widebody competition. The video nudges the giant new flagship into the conversation, but Boeing’s pilot testing program supplies a less dramatic explanation.

We know that American Airlines is planning on placing a wide body aircraft order in the near future, based on negotiations with Airbus and Boeing. While we’ve had no idea which aircraft type was the frontrunner, I think just about everyone assumed the Boeing 777X wasn’t realistically in the running....
