Earlier this week, Alaska Airlines’ codeshare agreements with Singapore Airlines and LATAM ended, with the airline citing that these agreements between the airlines were no longer effective. While this sounds like the extended connectivity the airline can offer is decreasing, the carrier has been compensating for this by expanding existing partnerships with other carriers recently.

The 777X is Boeing’s new flagship aircraft. While the jet was initially supposed to enter commercial service in 2020, that timeline has been pushed back considerably.

We had some hints that this was coming a few weeks back, but it’s now closer to being official. The…

I hope everyone is having as nice of a weekend as possible. As I covered yesterday, this has been the toughest two days of my life, as I lost my mom yesterday. So that I don’t cry for the 637th time in the past 36 hours (f*ck it, I’m already crying), I’ll just leave it at that, and say thank you so, so, so much to everyone for their kind wishes and thoughts.
