In November 2025, the United States Air Force deployed an unknown number of Boeing B-52 Superfortress bombers to its Moron Air Base in southern Spain. Ironically, the B-52 is both famous for being one of the oldest military aircraft still in service (they were built 1952-1962), while also being a symbol of American power. Thanks to their size, payload capacity, relatively low operating expenses, and evolved role, they remain relevant and powered and have avoided obsolescence, unlike most other aircraft types. These days, Spain is a close NATO ally and the bombers are welcome there, but that hasn’t always been…

While Russian airlines might be struggling to keep their planes flying due to sanctions from the West, that’s not stopping them from innovating in other ways… or something. Volodya, Pobeda Airlines’ humanoid robot flight attendant Pobeda Airlines, Russia’s largest low cost carrier and a subsidiary of Aeroflot, recently operated a flight that’s getting a lot of attention. On November 12, 2025, the airline operated its first flight with Volodya, a humanoid robot flight attendant helper. This happened on a domestic flight from Moscow Vnukovo Airport (VKO) to Ulyanovsk Baratayevka Airport (ULV). Volodya greeted passengers at the gate and onboard the…

The Boeing 747 made headlines upon its unveiling in 1968. It not only broke the record for the largest commercial airliner, but also became the first passenger aircraft to feature a second deck. The 747’s upper deck grew over the years, but never extended across the entire length of the airplane. Then came the Airbus A380, with a full-length second deck. It is famously the largest commercial plane in service, but how does it compare to the largest twin-engine jet, the Boeing 777-300ER? This extended-range variant is the largest version of the 777 family. The 777-300ER also has a non-extended-range…

The commercial aviation industry has changed drastically over the past several decades. When the Boeing 707 and Douglas DC-8 were introduced, these aircraft helped to push the commercial market into the jet age in the 1950s and 1960s. Additionally, Boeing introduced the Boeing 747 in the 1960s, the first widebody airliner. These innovative aircraft designs helped to connect passengers around the world and truly helped shape the definition of long-haul travel for years to come. However, one of the most innovative aircraft designs in recent years was the introduction of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. This aircraft utilized cutting-edge composite materials,…

The world’s largest airline is…. well, it depends on one’s criteria. This article will consider airlines by available seat miles (ASMs). ASMs are a measure of an airline’s capacity. It is calculated by multiplying the number of available seats on each aircraft by the distance it flies. This is a common measure for airlines, although it comes with its own set of issues. For example, flag carriers with more premium seating options are penalized. Airlines can be gauged by other measures like market capitalization, revenue, number of flights, fleet size, the number of flights, and other criteria. None of these…

Nowadays it feels like there are few secrets left when it comes to airline travel. Sometimes it feels like everyone and their second cousin is sharing their “travel hacks” online, and will tell you how they flew on an $8,000 flight for FREE, and how they save so much money by having premium credit cards and eating in lounges before their flights (or maybe my algorithm is just doing its thing)!With that in mind, here’s something that I’m surprised more people aren’t aware of, in an era where there seem to be fewer and fewer “tricks.” A tale of three…
