Cranky on the Web (August 17 – 21)
Just a little heads up before we get to the weekly links … I’ll be at the National Business Travel Association NBTA conference next week so my posting schedule may be a little off. I will do my best to keep a regular schedule. If you’ll...

Volaris Lands in Los Angeles, First Destination North of the Border
Volaris brought its first flight into LAX yesterday, and I headed out to the airport for the airline’s press conference celebrating the event. I must admit that I liked a lot of what I heard about Volaris, but these are some incredibly uncertain...

This Week on BNET (Feb 16 - 20)
Delta Starts Consolidating Regional Carriers Delta is taking pieces of Compass, Comair, and Mesaba and mashing them together. Seems like a good idea to me. Why is Hawaiian Installing In-Seat Video? Hawaiian is putting in seat video on its long haul fleet...

Allegiant Details LAX Plans
Despite all the skepticism around my initial post, Allegiant did, in fact, announce this week that it’s coming to LAX and not any of the other surrounding airports. Glad to see that my source is as reliable as I thought. It’s definitely some...

Allegiant Set to Open a New Base at Los Angeles International (LAX)
Reliable sources tell me that Allegiant will announce in the coming days that its new “sun destination” is LAX. With the exception of its original base in Las Vegas, Allegiant has specialized in turning secondary airports into big funnels...

JetBlue Back at LAX, Should We Believe Them This Time?
It was almost a year ago that JetBlue announced it would begin flying to LAX in addition to its main Southern California operation at Long Beach along with smaller operations at Burbank and Ontario. Once fuel started climbing, they walked away from LAX...

LAX Opens Public reLAX Lounge, Others Should Follow
So, you’ve been trying to get to Seattle for a few days now, huh? I’m one of the lucky ones this year since I’m not going anywhere for the holidays, but if I were, I’m sure that the nasty weather would have me sitting on the floor...

LAX Reveals Plans for Nice but Very Expensive Bradley West Terminal Expansion
I know, I know. I’ve had a fair number of posts on LAX lately, and I’m sorry about that for those not impacted by this airport. But I think this should be the last one for a little while. As we all know, LAX is not exactly the world’s...

Virgin America Making Progress on Its Renovation of LAX Terminal 3
I thought I’d throw out a little Sunday bonus posting this week since I had the chance to stop by LAX Terminal 3 to see how Virgin America’s transformation work was coming along. Things appear to be going well and the move is scheduled to...

“Airport Security in America is a Sham . . .” Effective security may be unpleasant, but it’s worthwhile and important. Is what we have today effective? What else can airlines be doing? Mayor Villaraigosa’s Misguided Strategy for LA Airports LA Mayor...

United Pulls Out of Palmdale as Quickly as Possible
Let’s stick this one in the “I told you so” file. Back in June, I said, “I’m sure that the second that subsidy is gone, United is out of there.” I was right. United started flying to Palmdale on June 7, 2007 and committed...

Virgin America’s Impending Growth Spurs LAX Terminal Shifts
I had to go to LAX three times this weekend to pick up and drop off some friends, and while I was there, I saw a few flashing signs noting some of the terminal shifts that have taken place lately. What’s going on? This is all to make more room for...

Flying the Emirates A380 in Coach (Part One)
Sorry it took me an extra day to put this together, but it was no easy feat. The A380 is one big plane, and I have plenty to talk about. Because of that, I’ve decided to split this post in half. Today, I’ll cover life on the lower deck, in...

Delta Cuts LAX
The writing had likely been on the wall for sometime, but it looks like Delta’s experiment in building up LAX is coming to a rapid end. Last week, Delta and ExpressJet announced that their agreement (covering 23 regional jets) would end on September...
