Wizz Air has signed an agreement with Barcelona-based inflight digital services firm Immfly and its partner onboard retail provider gateretail to digitalize the cabin of its aircraft. With this initiative, announced on March 25, 2026, the European low-cost airline will make it possible for passengers to access a whole range of services through their own portable electronic devices. The project will have two major components. The first, which will be rolled out across the entire Wizz Air fleet, will involve fitting the cabin of the aircraft with Bluetooth-enabled in-seat ordering technology. This capability, which does not require a live internet…
United Airlines is on quite the roll when it comes to passenger experience announcements. We’ve learned about the upcoming Airbus A321XLRs, Coastliner Airbus A321neos, and Bombardier CRJ-450s. Now here’s an interesting way that United is trying to improve the long haul economy experience, but it probably won’t come cheap. United long haul flights get creative new seating option United Airlines is introducing what’s being branded as Relax Row, whereby passengers can reserve a row of three seats in economy on long haul flights, which transform into a couch (or “lie-flat mattress-like space”). This is described as being ideal for families…
A drone that entered Estonian airspace from Russia struck the chimney of the Auvere power plant in Ida-Viru County early on March 25, 2026, in the latest drone-related incident to spill into the Baltic states from the war in Ukraine. Estonian authorities said no one was injured and that the country’s power infrastructure was not damaged. According to the Estonian public broadcaster ERR, citing the Internal Security Service (Kapo), the impact occurred at 3:43 a.m. local time. Prosecutor General Astrid Asi said the available information indicates the drone was not directed at Estonia, while investigators work to establish the precise…
United Airlines has just made several passenger experience announcements, and among those is a plan to turn one of the most unpopular regional jets into a pleasant ride. However, I’m curious what the real motive is here… United rebrands the CRJ-200 as the CRJ-450, upgrades itThe CRJ-200 is probably the least pleasant regional jet you’ll find flying, at least in the United States. These planes generally have just 50 seats, with no first class, no Wi-Fi, etc. The reality is that a lot fewer of these are flying than in the past, and they’re typically used for the absolute lowest…
Latvia’s Air Force has identified a foreign unmanned aerial vehicle entering the country’s airspace from Russia before crashing in the southeastern Krāslava district, according to the Latvian Ministry of Defence and the National Armed Forces. Early warning systems detected what officials described as a sound resembling an explosion, and authorities later found drone debris at the scene. The ministry said no civilians were injured, no civilian infrastructure was damaged, and no further threat to Latvian airspace or the population had been identified. Units from Latvia’s armed forces, state police, and border guard were deployed to the site, while an investigation…
United Airlines has just made a series of passenger experience announcements. I already covered how United will soon take delivery of Airbus A321XLRs, which will operate long haul, international flights, primarily to Europe and South America. What’s interesting is that this isn’t the only premium A321 variant that United is introducing, as United is also planning a similar subfleet of Airbus A321neos, which will be used for premium transcontinental flights. While we unofficially learned about this several weeks ago thanks to a leak from JonNYC, we now have all the details of what to expect. United plans fleet of 161-seat…
In December 2019, United Airlines placed an order for 50 A321XLRs, which is Airbus’ new ultra long range and fuel efficient evolution of the A321. The plane entered commercial service in late 2024, with Iberia and Aer Lingus being the launch customers. United is expected to get its first A321XLR in the coming weeks, and it should start flying by this summer. In this post, I’d like to take an updated look at United’s A321XLR plans, as the airline has just formally unveiled the interiors of these planes, as part of a much bigger passenger experience announcement (which it’ll take…
