New and notes from around the interweb:
- The Wow Air brand was acquired out of bankruptcy for just ~ $400,000 as noted by One Mile at a Tiem who says he “believe[s] this is legitimate, as the company has committed 85 million USD to the relaunch of this airline, and Ballarin is also an established businesswoman.”
My take on the West Virginia heiress-turned-arms dealer that’s resurrecting Wow Air… differs. My confidence level in statements surrounding an $85 million commitment to the enterprise is much lower, as is my definition of ‘established businesswoman’.

gross
The 787 security writeup was very interesting to read. While assumptions don’t mean a thing one (clearly not the hacker though) would assume that a plane’s system would have decades old security measures in place. Vs what you’d see in a movie, something akin to a hacker pulling a wire from the IFE and immediately hacking the plane.
@Gary – does this move the needle on converting Marriott points to AA miles? Does 60k Marriott points now become 30k AA miles between the Marriott and AA bonuses?
I agree with @Jamesb2147 5K bonus from Mariott Bonvoy was always there with 20K miles transfer into AA Does AA now give a bonus 5K as well so total of 30K?
