OF1944ATX -- Fixed? Are you totally unaware that SWA has reduced that fixed rate multiple times? That is the most blatant form of devaluation because no one can say it has anything to do with rising ticket prices. Instead, it is flat out THEFT.

RE: Air Côte d’Ivoire First Class: The World's Most Mysterious Airline Cabin?

It’s a scam. No regular passengers in their right minds will ever pay for this. And still, these seats will always be taken. African style, by those who know someone who know someone…

United Airlines has by far the most interesting global route network of the big three US carriers, and the network keeps expanding. Yesterday, the Chicago-based airline teased how it would announce new international routes today, and those details have just been unveiled.

Better hope no obscure airlines are reading this blog and thinking about isolating one seemingly normal seat and marketing it as first class! You get a $20 blob of caviar, its first class! I get the fascination in completing the list and good luck to you. But to me it seems almost a false narrative when there are no major upgrades to the starlux and Ivory Coast seats and they cost a bomb. Btw. Put a curtain around that air India first clad seat and it’s not far away from La premiere! I’d WhatsApp them or message and ask if the mixed itinerary can be done.

I believe the memberships purchased directly from Priority Pass include restaurants and non-lounge amenities, as well as certain locations designated as "Grab-and-Go." Card-based memberships that include restaurants and non-lounge amenities do not include Grab-and-Go locations.

I have one of the few card-based memberships that includes restaurants and non-lounge amenities. While I have access to and will opt for airline-operated lounges on virtually every flight I take, I will make use of non-lounge amenities very frequently. I'll do so again this week. For me, this feature alone is conservatively worth $400 per year.
