Cranky Network Weekly Options Now Starting at $10 a Month


When I stepped away from active management of Cranky Concierge, one of the things I wanted to focus on was the growth of Cranky Network Weekly. I’m proud to announce today that we’ve rolled out changes including a new tier and an entry-level price dropping from $25 to only $10 a month*. If you’ve ever been on the fence about becoming a subscriber, the time has come.

Every Friday night, Cirium releases its weekly schedule update. Courtney Miller from Visual Approach and I get together virtually to talk through all those changes. Sunday afternoon, we publish the results of that discussion so that everyone can be ready Monday morning, armed with the biggest trends of the week.

There are now three different tiers of reporting that we offer. Let’s start with the full-featured report:


Cranky Network Weekly

Our flagship report, Cranky Network Weekly, remains the most in-depth and timely option available for those who want to keep tabs on airline network changes in the US, Canada, and México. You get all the schedule details and trends described in Cranky Network Basics and Trends below, but all of this is included in a PDF report that’s sent to you every Sunday afternoon. You see it before the others.

In addition, subscribers have access to loads of charts and tables, including week-over-year and year-over-year capacity changes alongside geographical trends and airport overviews. Oh, is that not enough? Fine. CNW flagship subscribers score the right to get a ticket for the Cranky Network Awards held every year in February.

Let me guess… you want to see a sample? Well, sure. Here’s the April 19 issue.

Learn more or sign up for the plan you need here:

  • Individual – $125 per month (for 1 person)
  • Company – $500 per month (up to 10 people)
  • Advisory – $750 per month (up to 10 people including a quarterly advisory call with me and Courtney)

Are you an airport or a student? We have special options for you. Airports can see theirs here. Students can email us at info@crankynetworkweekly.com for more information.


Cranky Network Trends

Our newest addition is Cranky Network Trends. This includes the weekly basic schedule changes listed below, but it also gives you access to the five weekly trends that we tease out of the data each week. The trends include both graphs and write-ups identifying the things that matter to you, all for $50 a month.

This is certainly a step down from Cranky Network Weekly, but if you’re looking for great value at a lower price, this is the option for you. Just know that if timeliness is important, then you’ll want our flagship Cranky Network Weekly.

Want an example? How about this sample trend looking at the always-exciting Chicago/O’Hare schedule changes that were published in recent weeks.

Subscribers will get a Cranky Network Basics email notification on Sunday plus one trend per day, Monday through Friday on each of the 48 weeks a year we publish. All emails will have a link to read the details on the CNW website.

Learn more or directly sign up for the plan that fits your needs:

  • Individual – $50 per month (for 1 person)
  • Company – $200 per month (up to 10 people)

Cranky Network Basics

Do you remember the old Skeds of Air Lines I published here during the pandemic? This is the heir to that. Just the facts, now for only $10 a month.

You’ll get weekly access to a comprehensive list of all the changes that touch the US, Canada, and México. Ok, I say “all” the changes, but we don’t actually cover the teeny-tiny minutiae that doesn’t really matter to most people. (Want an example? We won’t tell you that Air Inuit went from 1x daily to 9x weekly this winter on Akulivik to Puvirnituq, but we will tell you that Rise Air is starting up a brand new Uranium City – Prince Albert route this summer.)

But why should you trust me? Read a sample report from April 12 here.

Emails are sent when the report is ready each Sunday afternoon, and you can then log in to the CNW website to read. All this is now just $10 a month.

Learn more or you can sign up directly:


Courtney and I are constantly thinking of ways to improve the report, and it has evolved a lot since we first started. We not only hope that you’ll sign up as a subscriber, but we hope you’ll actively give us feedback.

    Oh no, basic economy has struck Cranky! When will the segmentation end?! ;)

      Haha, exactly my same first reaction!

      See_Bee – Hahahaha. To be fair, we always had Cranky Network Basics, but now we just lowered the price on that and created the new Cranky Network Trends plan in the middle. So… we were pioneers!

      I did forget to mention that you can’t pick where you sit when you read CNB. We will tell you where you have to be.

    Thank you for sharing these. I really find them quite interesting. I’ll definitely consider.
    One thing -in the cranky network update (great comprehensive work, btw), you mention “Swiss has walked away from Denver while Edelweiss wont fly Seattle…”
    Swiss never operated Denver. It was Edelweiss in Denver as well as in Seattle.
    Keep up the good work!

      Jason – We try not to editorialize but just use the data as it is. When it was canceled in April, it was filed under an LX code for this summer. Let’s see if this comes through…
      LX May 2026 DEN ZRH DENZRH 0 0 3 928 0 0 -3 -928 0 0
      LX Jun 2026 DEN ZRH DENZRH 0 0 17 5254 0 0 -17 -5254 0 0
      LX Jul 2026 DEN ZRH DENZRH 0 0 14 4382 0 0 -14 -4382 0 0
      LX Aug 2026 DEN ZRH DENZRH 0 0 9 2812 0 0 -9 -2812 0 0

      Meanwhile, SEA was on the WK code:
      WK Jun 2026 SEA ZRH SEAZRH 0 0 9 3051 9 2798 -9 -3051 -9 -2798
      WK Jul 2026 SEA ZRH SEAZRH 0 0 8 2712 8 2512 -8 -2712 -8 -2512
      WK Aug 2026 SEA ZRH SEAZRH 0 0 10 3390 9 2812 -10 -3390 -9 -2812
      WK Sep 2026 SEA ZRH SEAZRH 0 0 4 1356 5 1570 -4 -1356 -5 -1570

        Interesting, thanks for sharing that. And very weird that it came through as an LX code and not a WK code.. here’s the press release, as it was definitively a WK flight and not an LX operated flight: https://newsroom.flyedelweiss.com/en/adjustments-to-edelweiss-long-haul-program/

        1. Brett Avatar

          Jason – Yeah, honestly not sure if this was some weird LX operated by WK setup or something. But the thing is, it’s such a small thing that happened in a big week of news, we just report it as filed! At least it was directionally correct. The only time we editorialize in the Basics is when something seems very wrong. Instead of ignoring it, we report with a caveat. Like last week KA filed a very weird route so we reported it this way:

          Aero Nomad Airlines appeared in this week’s data with a Manas – Los Angeles route, but this had to be a misfile in the Diio system and can’t be real scheduled service, we assume

    “Are you an airport or a student?” The kids these days… identifying as ‘airports’… good for they/them/it!

    Wait so what is the flagship sub? It’s not listed…

    1. Brett Avatar

      Matt – It’s listed there. Cranky Network Weekly starts at $125 per month

    People will pay $125 a month to learn an airline goes from Phoenix to Denver 1 extra time each week in the months of January through March?
    Really?
    Wow!
    Good luck

    1. Brett Avatar

      Clown – No, that’s what people pay $10 a month for. There’s a lot more in CNW than just the Basics.
