Since its introduction in 2007, the Airbus A380 has been unrivaled in terms of scale and passenger experience, a true spectacle of the skies. Its grandeur brought with it an expectation of resounding success, but in a rapidly changing and ever-dynamic aviation landscape, airlines began to turn away from the aircraft. Now, the focus is on finding a successor that retains the same allure while also being highly adapted to the efficiency-driven environment of the current aviation industry. Boeing has been tirelessly working on this exact successor. A new generation of their widely successful 777 series, the 777X. Development setbacks…

We’re currently wrapping up an awesome trip to Iceland. While I’ll of course have a full review upon returning home, I’m sharing a few “live” highlights. I already wrote about our experience at the Reykjavik EDITION, which is a solid Marriott hotel. However, the property I was most looking forward to checking out this trip was The Retreat at Blue Lagoon, which is the 60-room ultra-luxury hotel located at the Blue Lagoon. I have to be honest, I wasn’t necessarily expecting all that much (despite the high price point), but I was so pleasantly surprised. Let me share some initial…

The airline has announced it will add 13 new Saturday-only routes from six of its hubs as part of its Summer 2026 schedule. The new routes are targeted at travelers “craving mountain air, coastal charm or a beachside breeze,” making use of equipment that is less utilized over weekends. Particularly notable is that Delta is continuing its relentless expansion at Austin Bergstrom International Airport, with the addition of three seasonal Saturday-only routes for the first time. The carrier will also be bringing…

Aviation is filled with duopolies and triopolies. In the Middle East, it’s Emirates, Etihad Airways, and Qatar Airways that dominate the region, and they are known for being super-connectors due to the locations of their hubs. But to make it work, the airlines need scale in both network and total passengers. This means a large fleet of widebody aircraft with high passenger capacity. Emirates’ main hub is in Dubai International Airport, while Qatar Airways’ hub is at Doha Hamad International Airport. Etihad Airways, the youngest of the three Middle Eastern carriers, is based at Abu Dhabi Zayed International Airport. All…
