It’s that time of the week again, as I worry about how to move a lot of computers, and how steel toe boots work, whilst trying to put content out for you all.
Yes, it’s time for Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
25 floors up. Not a view of Birmingham you see every day
SNAPSHOTS
The last two Snapshots from my last trip. You have two guesses about what’s in the publication pipeline…
Routes and Networks
- Finnair plans new routes for the upcoming seasons – More Japan and European connectivity
Passenger Experience
- ANA to offer free Wi-Fi for Business Class passengers on international flights – but check your aircraft
- easyJet prepares another round of “Fearless Flyer” courses for Summer 2024 – Because not everyone enjoys flying
- CT Security Scanners cut queuing times at London City Airport by 50% – Speed through City Airport
- British Airways next “Avios only” flight … is to Barbados! – It’s probably sold out, given how fast the Dubai flights went
Fleets
- Scoot takes delivery of its first Embraer E190-E2 – Mini Scooties.
- 400 Up – easyJet takes delivery of their 400th Airbus aircraft – That’s a lot of Airbus single-aisle aircraft
Things that are on the up
No more seeing Stars
- Scandinavian Airlines confirms its Star Alliance Exit date – end of August. Plan now.
Pretty pictures
Next Week
I’m deep in the edit cycle for the current trip report with the first tranche almost ready for publication, so you can all look forward to it next week (once I’ve finished the graphics work). There’s also another trip in deep planning at the minute so keep an eye out for news on that.
On top of that, we’ll be having our usual mixture of news, views and other things that catch my eye.
Until then, Happy Landings!
