Tweet Picks:
@lesliejosephs Delta CEO Ed Bastian says at JPM transportation conference that the company has had 10 of the highest sales days within the last 30 days. If anyone is “looking for weakness, don’t look at Delta.” $DAL
@lesliejosephs One thing we’re hearing from airline CEOs today: pre-pandemic booking patterns are returning. That means higher peak prices for travelers. Travel off-season or off-peak if you can, though airlines have gotten better at adjusting capacity.
@lesliejosephs Say goodbye to the American Airlines frequent flyer award chart as you know it, the latest step in the push toward dynamic pricing for award tickets.
@lesliejosephs “We know how to retrofit airplanes,” said JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes on the plan to acquire Spirit, whose planes have more seats on them. $JBLU.
@winglets747 Missed a chance to take one last 747-400 flight on BA, KLM, Thai, Qantas, or Virgin? Asiana Airlines is keeping the 747-400 on Seoul-Shanghai even as it adds frequencies. But at $501 for the two hour flight, you might find better value on a Lufthansa 747-400 trip.
