Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond (16th December)

16/12/2023 by Kevincm

We’re over halfway through December and closing in on Christmas. But even as we battle through crowds and people, it’s time for Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.

Snapshots

Two snapshots from this trip, with the trip report in deep-level production. It might sneak out next week.

  • British Airways 772 – London Heathrow – Zurich Airport (Euro Traveller)
  • British Airways 749 Europort Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg to London Heathrow (EuroTraveller)

Loyalty

  • British Airways to offer Avios-Only flights to… Dubai – And mostly sold out at this point.

New Aircraft News

  • Avolon adds another 100 Airbus A321neo to its backlog – and 40 Boeing 737 MAX’s too.
  • Turkish Airlines signs for an Airbus 220 aircraft – That order took long enough to sign, didn’t it?

Routes and Networks

  • British Airways adds routes from Gatwick and London Stansted – Life Beyond Heathrow
  • Turkish Airlines to improve connectivity to Birmingham Airport – From Double-Daily to 18 flights a week
  • Virgin Atlantic boosts its Summer 2024 Transatlantic operation – Additional capacity to New York and Boston
  • ITA Airways to add Rome-Fiumicino to London City Airport – Filling in a gap

Trains

  • What’s the busiest train station in the UK? The answer might surprise you… – Spoiler: It’s not London Waterloo.

Pretty pictures

  • United Airlines Boeing 767-300ER departing Zurich Airport

Next Week

We’re entering one of the final work weeks of the year, as airlines getting around to the business of getting people from A to B in time for the big dates. But there will be some headlines as some companies need to tidy up end-of-year announcements and close up books.

We’ll also start my trip report… it could well be the middle of the week whilst I’m putting images and text together, as well as fighting Lightroom, Google Docs and Grammarly all together.

Until then, festive happy landings!
