@kpottermn Southwest CEO Bob Jordan says the quiet part out loud: Axing free baggage “will drive new enrollments in our co-brand credit card program.” SW Chase cardholders still get a free bag. If an airline does something these days, you can pretty much bet there’s a credit card angle.

@UPSAirlines We’re excited to announce that we’ve added 5 weekly flights between Paris and Hong Kong to meet the growing demand for exports. And in the last year, we added 200+ flights from Asia Pacific to Europe and the U.S. #avgeek.
