04/07/2026 by Kevincm Leave a Comment

It’s the weekend again, and after a long week, there’s nothing like a list of links to go through, with witty one-liners to keep you all entertained.

It’s therefore time for Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.

Next Week

Believe it or not, your author mostly cleared my backlog – both in travel and most of the AIX stories (there are a few more left I’ve got to patch up, but those are taking time). Thus, for now, your author is going to revert to bread-and-butter news coverage for the next few weeks, whilst they come up with a mad scheme.

Or something to keep sane.

So until next week, Happy Landings.
