Man it feels good to be able to book flights on Delta 767s in and out of SAN again!

Doing research for a trip just now just now and discovered that AA doesn’t have any domestic widebody flights out of LAX the first week of Dec (didn’t check any other weeks). Where’d they all go?

Wow!! I never thought that we’d ever see the day that Southwest Airlines would eliminate the open seating thing. Didn’t see this one coming.

Watching @airlinevideos livestream from Grand Rapids last night made me realize how much GRR has grown over the last 20 years. It’s nothing like I remember! Here’s a pic I took from there way back in December of 2003:

Had a really nice up close view of ANA’s Flying Honu A380 (JA382A) while sitting and waiting for a gate to open up after arriving from LAX last week. What a unit!

Should we be concerned that my ZIPAIR flight from SFO to NRT yesterday was almost empty in economy? Premium cabin was 100% full though!

This is what happens when I speak "Norse Atlantic" into my voice dictation software. I'm tempted to leave it this way.

Nice flight to CLT yesterday in a @SpiritAirlines A321neo Big Front Seat. Figured they needed my $$ now that the merger with JetBlue is off.

Not every day you’ll see Economy Plus cheaper than Economy. I’ll take it!

Was a little bit surprised to discover that the @flynorse premium seats are far more spacious than the Air France A350-900 premium economy seats I tried last week. This was pretty nice actually!

Got to experience the all new United A321neo in first class from PHX to ORD yesterday. Pretty neat, though not quite as neat as the Delta A321neo IMHO. Blows the AA A321neo out of the water tho. 😄

If you gotta fly economy, this isn’t a bad way to do it. Thanks for the extra legroom this morning @SouthwestAir !

I was shocked to see this United 777-200 at @SanDiegoAirport yesterday - I thought they pulled this off the IAD route a while ago.

You know you’ve failed as an airline reviewer when your latest piece on Delta 737-900ER first class is misunderstood as ‘gardening and home improvement’ content.

4th time in a row that a @united 737 MAX that I’ve booked myself on has been swapped last minute to an -800 (or -900). I was really hoping to do a UA MAX 8 first class review today! Been trying since April actually…

Can’t wait until the day that I have my own personal AI chat bot that can interact with airline AI chat bots. Been trying to cancel a @spirit ticket for two hours now via their chat system, and…it ain’t going well.

The greasy forehead splotch on the back of the seat is a nice touch.

Another day, another nearly empty United flight. I must be cursed (or ridiculously lucky).
