Late August means it’s time for the International Aviation Forecast Summit, better known as the Boyd conference. For the third year in a row, I sat down with Southwest Chief Revenue Officer and EVP Andrew Watterson.
We talked at length about the 737 MAX, dug into the airline’s pullout from …
It’s a lofty title to be sure. Janet joined United in November 2017 to fill the first regional president position here on the West Coast. I assume this role was meant to project both internally and externally just how important California is to the airline. But what does that mean, …
I mentioned the big press event at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in yesterday’s post, and I said I’d follow it up today with a podcast with American CEO Doug Parker. You’ll find that embedded down below, or if you can’t wait, you can find it here. But …
My vacation is just getting started, so enjoy this week of posts about my visit with Hawaiian. I’m back with regular content on July 3.
I mentioned in my trip report last week that I had to get to the 
Long Beach Airport for Hawaiian’s inaugural really, really early. That’s …
Let’s start this week off with a podcast. I already wrote about Southwest’s declaration of war against Alaska and anyone else who tries to challenge the airline in California. Now you can hear about it right from the horse’s mouth.
It was Southwest Chief Revenue Officer Andrew Watterson’s presentation at …
As you saw on the blog last week, I was invited to spend the night with Delta to chronicle the airline’s move from Terminals 5/6 at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) over to Terminal 2/3. It was a massive effort that spanned three nights, and now that it’s done, …
I know some of you will be really happy to see that the podcast is back! As I mentioned before, it won’t be a regularly-published thing, but when I have a good opportunity to sit with someone interesting, I’m going to put it live. And today, we have an interesting …
Remember that whole podcast thing? Well I’ve spoken with a variety of readers/listeners and learned that it’s the interviews with industry people that they liked most out of that experiment. I actually agree with that sentiment, since a transcript of an interview isn’t the same as hearing it directly from …
Another Tuesday, so it’s time for another
podcast. This, actually, will be the last Tuesday podcast. My finger has healed to the point where I can now type (with breaks), so the regular posting schedule will return next week after the Thanksgiving holiday. Whether the podcast will live on… well, …
It’s week three of the podcast. If you’re enjoying it, then great. If you’re not, well, I don’t even get the last pin removed from my broken finger until next week. I’m not sure how long until I’m up to full typing strength after that, so hang in there.
This …
You might notice the header looks a little different today. For the month of November, travel metasearch site liligo.com is sponsoring the blog. Help me thank liligo for its support by clicking through and trying it out.

The second podcast has now gone live. This time, instead of an …
When I asked last week, many of you really liked the idea of a podcast. So here it is. This one went longer than planned (17m50s) because I repurposed an interview I was planning to transcribe for my Across the Aisle series. Now you get to hear me speak with …
