Remember that Norwegian 737 that diverted to Shiraz, Iran a couple months ago
with an engine issue? She's finally back after the embargo restrictions were
relaxed enough to get a replacement installed.
Also in this episode:
* Expedia and United are fighting over fare display and fees and who really
wins other than the lawyers??* OTA Kiwi will help
passengers out when booking throw away tickets. Maybe. In some form or
another. Oh, and it might not tell them that's what they're booking. * Haneda opened up a dozen new slots for US carriers. The
airlines wanted 19. Who and where and what are going on there?* Southwest Airlines is
seeing an unusually high number of flights delayed or canceled due to
maintenance issues. Management is, unsurprisingly, not happy about the
situation. Is it a work action or a real problem??* American Airlines added some luxury options for passengers in the terminals,
upping its Five Star service to include a Flagship Dining option. Real luxury or just a way to grab better ancillary revenue than
selling checked bags??
And, as always, plenty more inside. Enjoy the show!
