Frontier Going Big - Soon

Frontier ordered 10 current generation A321's and 2 A320's. They are going big and soon.  The NEO (New Engine Option) aircraft will have much better fuel economy, but the wait is long and the discounts minimal. Frontier is looking to make changes soon and keeps moving away from smaller aircraft, turbo props, E175's, and A318's are all gone, in a quest to lower costs per seat mile.

Helsinki Airport Innovations

Helsinki Airport is the home to the first Starbucks in Finland and soon will house the first Victoria's Secret in Finland. I wish American airports were at the forefront of innovation too.

Lufthansa Business Class Is Amazing

It's so Luftastic!  I love Lufthansa and recently flew their 747-8 in the upper deck business class (super quiet).  It was a wonderful experience, enjoy the photo's like I enjoyed the Glenfiddich Select Cask scotch.

Speaking of Targeted Advertising

Um, I guess my online activity fits a profile.

Apology from British Airways

Dear Mr Bussa

We recently wrote to you with information about an Upgrade to First offer.  The email was sent in error, we would like to sincerely apologise for this and any confusion caused.  We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you on board soon. 

I thought an untargeted upgrade offer was strange, but sadly untargeted email is becoming standard business practice (though it is very easy and inexpensive to target emails).  It appears British Airways did intend to target the email to frequent business class flyers.

Free First Class Upgrade Offer

Dear Mr Bussa,

There’s still time to upgrade from Club World to First for free. To enjoy this one-way offer, simply book an eligible Club World return flight before 26 June 2015.

We look forward to welcoming you into the exceptional calm, comfort and dining of First — for free. 

Offer Not Valid on the 787 - No First Class Seats On-board

That's awfully nice of British Airways. It's also sneaky, because they only upgrade half the trip, so you'll have a recent reminder of the perils of business class. In the 80's and 90's, British Airways offered free Concorde upgrades to regular first class flyers. It was an effective program that got people hooked on supersonic transport. This is a modern evolution of that idea, but less fun.
