It’s common for airlines to send out post-flight surveys (and they’re worth filling out, because they do matter).

Your flight was on Aer Lingus, a partner of Alaska Airlines. We’d…

Various sources have disclosed that Royal Air Maroc plans to add two US routes in 2026. It anticipates flying from Casablanca to Los Angeles—which will be a brand-new market—while resuming flights to Boston. They’re likely to begin in May in time for the peak season. A three-weekly operation would not be surprising. It comes amid more transatlantic routes to Morocco. For example, Delta Air Lines began the first-ever service from Atlanta to Marrakech in October 2025, while Air Transat will take off from Montreal to Agadir next year. Elsewhere in Africa, it seems that United may end its Dakar operation…

The 787’s fuel-efficient engines and lightweight composite structure help to deliver significant cost savings while maintaining high performance in the region’s hot temperatures, which makes the aircraft especially attractive for airlines across the region looking to expand to new destinations without committing to the size of a widebody like the 777.

For the first hotel stay of my review trip to Bangkok, I spent a night at the Four Seasons Montreal. This was between two flights, as I was arriving on Porter’s Embraer E195-E2 from Fort Lauderdale, and the next day I was departing on Air France’s Boeing 787-9 to Paris.I’ve heard great things about this hotel, and was curious to check it out for myself.

Lockheed Martin has taken a major step in human-machine teaming, successfully demonstrating control of an uncrewed aerial system (UAS) from the cockpit of an F-22 Raptor during a flight from Nellis Air Force Base near Las Vegas.

The company did not identify the specific UAS involved, but said the event marked the first time a fifth-generation fighter has issued mission instructions to an…
