I was going to follow up yesterday’s post with some more detailed notes from the US Airways Media Day, but then I figured you guys are probably sick of hearing about it. Maybe I’ll post it in the next couple of days.
Instead, let’s talk about the unenviable position Singapore … Read the post

A couple of weeks ago, I received an invitation to “the British Airways Club World Experience” being hosted at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. Not having flown BA’s Club World (their fancy name for Business Class) since 2003, I was certainly interested to hear about their enhancements. This was … Read the post
Over the last couple years, Midwest has been quietly changing its model to the point where they’re becoming just like every other airline. Sadly, I’d say the transformation is now almost complete.
Back in the day, Midwest was head and shoulders above the rest. 
While most airlines served meals in … Read the post
It’s time to shake off all the bad news from last week and move forward with something positive. United has finally unveiled the new business class seat, and it looks like a rock star to me. I’ve rarely had nice things to say about UA lately, but they’ve definitely done … Read the post
Word on the street is that Frontier has a pretty nice product onboard their planes. They give you 33″ of seat pitch (1 to 2 inches above average) and they have Live TV on board. I’ll be taking my first flight on the airline in less than a month, and … Read the post
Privatair did it first. Eos and MAXjet have done it as well. So has Silverjet and L’Avion. The ongoing success of these airlines may be unclear, but if nothing else, they have proven that there is some demand for business-class only flights over the Pond. This has now been confirmed … Read the post
Singapore Airlines is generally regarded as the king of the premium cabins. I posted on their last upgrade back in October, but now it looks like we have a newcomer to the race.
Jet Airways of India
If you’ve gone to India, you probably know … Read the post
Some of the JetBlue veterans may remember the dreaded row 27 from a few years ago. On the A320s, row 27 was the very last row. It was right in front of the lavs, it didn’t recline, and it had a slightly less amount of legroom. Customers complained enough that … Read the post
United employees were given a sneak preview of what to expect with the airline’s new international First Class seat in an internal communication today. There is a lot of fluff in there (“The whole First Class experience is being developed to be industry-leading” . . . blah blah blah), so … Read the post
Virgin America may still be stuck in DOJ regulatory hell, but some additional info about their planned perks is starting to come out and it sounds pretty cool.
First off, how about this picture of an eerie pink glow emanating from a Virgin America A320?… Read the post
It’s always fun to watch these games of one-upmanship among the world’s elite airlines.
You may remember this post on Cathay’s new products. It was their new coach class that really caught my eye, but it’s the opposite end of the spectrum that grabbed me … Read the post
Cathay Pacific has put for a major effort to improve the onboard experience with the introduction of new seats in all three classes of service starting in January of 2007, but it’s the coach seats that really interest me.
These have some great new features
