For the second hotel stay of my review trip to Bangkok, I spent a night at SAX Paris, Hilton LXR. I had a couple of nights in Paris, and wanted to check out a a couple of points hotels that have been on my radar.The 118-room SAX Paris opened several months ago, and it’s ostensibly the most luxurious Hilton property in Paris (which isn’t saying a whole lot, as Hilton’s luxury portfolio there is lacking). The cash rate would’ve been around €600 per night, while the points rate would’ve been 110,000 Hilton Honors points. However, I had a Hilton Honors free…

Southwest Airlines is the world’s largest operator of the Boeing 737 MAX, having taken delivery of its first 737 MAX 8 in 2017.

A small unmanned surface vessel called the Lightfish made a new milestone for USVs when it arrived in Portugal just over two months after being launched by the U.S. Navy in June.

Its solar panels operate and store energy even in cloudy weather, and the craft is equipped with a battery and generator that can extend its range for over 500 nautical miles in emergency situations. The Lightfish is able to detect obstacles in its path and can respond to them autonomously or be maneuvered remotely.The Unmanned Naval…

Ryanair is cutting all flights to and from the Azores, starting March 29, 2026. The airline claims that it has been “left with no choice” due to excessive airport fees and rising regulatory costs in Portugal, which it says make the routes unviable for its low-cost model. Ryanair says that this will result in a reduction of 400,000 annual seats to the Azores, a significant blow to tourism for the mid-Atlantic archipelago. The Irish airline has been making significant reductions across its European network as a result of airport fees and government regulations, including to its winter schedules in Germany,…

By Bjorn Fehrm and Henry Tam November 21, 2025, ©. Leeham News: We do a series about ideas on how the long development times for large airliners can be shortened. New projects talk about cutting development time and reaching certification and production faster than previous projects. The series will discuss the typical development cycles for an FAA Part 25 aircraft, called a transport category aircraft, and what different ideas there are to reduce the development times. We will use the Gantt plan in Figure 1 as a base for our discussions. We are in the Detailed Design phase, and it’s…

Pilot Reported That He Purchased The Airplane Earlier That Day Analysis: The pilot reported that he purchased the airplane earlier that day and completed a condition inspection that afternoon. The previous owner suggested performing a couple of touch-and-go landings and some air work in preparation for the planned flight to the airplane’s home base. The pilot stated that the takeoff, climb, crosswind, and downwind legs of the traffic pattern were normal. While on the base-to-final turn, the airplane was high, and when the pilot reduced engine power, it developed a high sink rate. He did not correct the sink rate…
