Today’s X Picks:

@ByERussell .@AlaskaAir will fly two 737-10 layouts with the announcements today: Premium in the Aurora livery with 159 seats, including 12 lie-flat suites and 12 premium economy seats. Standard in the Chester livery with 188 seats; that’s 10 more seats than on the 737-9s.

@ByERussell The goal for @AlaskaAir with its new premium 737 MAX 10s is to close what it considers a “key product gap” in its offering for high-end West Coast fliers. Expect to eventually see the planes in Los Angeles, Portland, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle.

@ByERussell .@AlaskaAir will expand its long-haul network from Seattle faster than previously planned. The airline now forecasts 15 long-haul routes (Europe, Asia, etc) by 2030, up from its previous guidance of ~10. It flies or has announced 6 to date (NRT, ICN, FCO, LHR, ATH, CDG).

@ByERussell Delta is taking a conservative approach of transatlantic travel next summer. Unlike competitors American and United, it has only announced 3 new routes (more could come) in the market.
