Today, the best cabin that you can fly on with a US airline is business class. Several airlines market a first class on domestic flights, but this typically consists of a recliner seat comparable to regional business class in other parts of the world. Additionally, American Airlines sells a first class cabin on its Boeing 777-300ERs and transcontinental Airbus A321-200s, but the A321s feature a business class seat for first class, while the 777-300ER first class has never been lauded for its quality, and both planes will soon lose their first class cabins. In this guide, we’re going to compile…

The United States has reached new trade agreements with Switzerland and South Korea that eliminate tariffs on aircraft and aircraft parts, restoring tariff-free access for manufacturers and operators in both countries.

I was curious to what extent these travel warnings would actually impact demand, and now we have our answer……
