News and notes from around the interweb:
- Has Citi imposed a hiatus on switching from one card product to another?
- The Last Days of US Airways
- United just had its first day with no mainline flight cancellations in 2.5 years
- Pope Francis toured the cockpit of his chartered (unrefurbished) American Airlines Boeing 777-200.
- Scott Mayerowitz reports that in addition to the ‘Chairmans Flight’ bribe or extortion that took down United CEO Jeff Smisek, there are also significant questions surrounding the lease United got at their Newark hub and the deal surrounding United service to Atlantic City. Apparently United’s cancellation of service there should have triggered certain subsidy repayments, that New Jersey simply let slide. But it’s not like Chris Christie is going anywhere in the polls anyway…

Mr. Leff,
I subscribed to your newsletter a few months ago but I am really getting frustrated with how I have to hunt for the articles you post. I don’t like having to open various pages and hunt for the information and sometimes the information is not useful at all. Please make your content easier to view and relevant or I fear a lot of folks like me are going to hit the unsubscribe button.
Best regards,
Mehdi
I have noticed over the last two weeks at LAX, O’Hare and Houston, that the Pre-Check lines at the United terminals have exploded in numbers of people and processing time. Almost as if United has now given Pre-Check to everybody. Anybody know what is going on?
Exactly where is the Trick to Avoid Checked Bag Fees
@g it’s the last bullet point
This is like getting an answer at the DMV. First you have to click here then there and then read a bunch of crap to find out that you clicked the wrong place. Then redo it all over again and find out that you were in the right place to begin with but just wasted 20 min of your time.
I think the free bag thing is a scam. I clicked on the link to sign up, after answering at least 10 demographic questions, and it said that I was no entered into a sweepstakes drawing for a trip to Hawaii
. WTF??!!
Clickbait is a strange trick that disgusts me.
