Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, will mark a decade of operations between its base in Dubai, UAE, and Orlando in Florida.

Maybe I need my head checked, but I’m really wanting to take a flight on Iraqi Airways through Baghdad, and I’d love some feedback. Let me explain… Iraqi Airways runs a fascinating operation As an aviation geek, I can’t help but be intrigued by Iraqi Airways. It’s one of the oldest airlines in the Middle East, and it has quite the varied fleet. In addition to a bunch of “classic” planes, the airline has a surprisingly modern fleet, including new Boeing 787s, Boeing 737 MAXs, and Airbus A220s. Those 787s largely serve long haul destinations in China and Malaysia, while…

I’m not sure this negotiating tactic is quite the flex that Lufthansa management thinks that it is, but goodness, it sure makes for an interesting topic… Lufthansa is trying to prove how unprofitable it is Lufthansa is the flagship airline of Lufthansa Group, and the company continues to be profitable. When financial results of the airline group are revealed, exact details of the breakdown in financial performance between subsidiaries is often limited. In other words, how is Lufthansa doing vs. SWISS, Austrian, Brussels, Eurowings, etc.? At the moment, Lufthansa is in contentious negotiations with its pilots over pensions, and a…
When Delta Air Lines announced its order for 100 Boeing 737 MAX 10 aircraft at the 2022 Farnborough Air Show, the move was seen as a vote of confidence in Boeing’s narrowbody program. The MAX 10 was positioned as a modern, fuel-efficient replacement for aging domestic aircraft, and deliveries were expected to begin in 2025. Three years later, the MAX 10 has yet to be certified, and production is delayed. Despite these challenges, Delta remains publicly committed to the aircraft — for now.

Airline pricing is incredibly complicated, and there’s no denying that this also creates some opportunities for consumers. In this post, I’d like to talk about the concept of hidden city ticketing, which many people have probably heard about in passing, if nothing else. Why is airline pricing so complicated, what is hidden city ticketing, and what are the risks of engaging in this? Airline pricing is ridiculously complicated There’s no denying that airlines have made revenue and inventory management such a complex art that it’s virtually incomprehensible to the average consumer. Like in any other industry, airlines want to maximize…
