American Airlines Is Eliminating Flagship First Class – But They’ve Pushed Off The Beginning Of The End To Next Year [Roundup]

News and notes from around the interweb:

  • American’s long haul first class cabin sticks around a bit longer.

  • We should learn more about JetBlue’s plans for domestic first class soon.

  • Air France is moving to Starlink for wifi. That’s by far the best curret inflight connectivity option – not only is it the fastest but also with the lowest latency. JSX was the first carrier to offer it. It’s now being adopted by WestJet, Hawaiian Airlines, airBaltic, Qatar Airways and Zipair as well as United.

  • Without comment:

  • Umm.

  • The new Southwest Airlines uniforms, polos are out, going with more ‘professional’ for a more ‘premium’ airline I guess but I just see “we’re making Southwest just like everyone else” which isn’t a recipe for success.
