In 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous small cash-strapped and debt-heavy airlines shuttered operations. The combination of significantly decreased demand for air travel and a global economic crisis proved too much for a number of airlines. While sadly, this was expected, the COVID-19 pandemic is beginning to impact larger airlines. The most recent stimulus bill in the United States proves as much as debt-burdened carriers like American Airlines and United Airlines successfully secured billions of dollars in cash.

Business Class at Home, Making The JetBlue Mint Class Cocktail

In 2020, like many, I spent most of the year at home. This was a major departure from the years prior. In total, I traveled just 21,000 miles by plane.

I have yet to make any plans...

Additionally, Neeleman outlined what passengers can expect from the new airline. Neeleman is quoted as saying that Breeze Airways is “going to fly where no one else is flying,” this is far from the case. Though Breeze Airways’ initial business plan has been announced, the...

JetBlue is expected to commence nonstop service between the U.S. and Europe in 2021. While the New York-based airline confirmed plans in 2019, there are still a number of unanswered questions surrounding the upcoming service. These include questions related to JetBlue’s premium product, JetBlue Mint. Though JetBlue’s Mint business class product is already very competitive, especially for the transcontinental market, there is widespread speculation that JetBlue will introduce a new variation of its Mint business class product alongside the airline’s new nonstop flights to Europe. As of February 2020, little is known about what this new Mint seat might...

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a division of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), announced earlier today that residents of New York state will be unable to apply for the department’s Trusted Traveler Programs (TTP).

The...

Posted by | Nov 29, 2019 | , , , | 3

Cathay Pacific first class is often considered to be one of the top first class products offered by any airline. With a massive double-wide seat, exceptional service, and access to top airport lounges, Cathay Pacific first class is a highly sought after redemption.
