Take a look at the videos from last month's Low Cost Airlines World Asia Pacific Conference where we produced videos of interviews with CEOs including Virgin Blue's Brett Godfrey who is taking a "cautiously buoyant" attitude this year, and Azran-Osman Rani of Air Asia X who is: "Breaking all the rules as we always do."
See our page dedicated to last week's first flight of the Boeing 747-8F. We covered the event using Twitter, video images, and compiled content to give you "the story so far". See AirSpace user Andrew Siebert's jet City Report blog post on the event. There are some great images as the new freighter lifts off the ground.
See a forum post about easyJet selling Starbucks coffee to passengers. A cup of Starbucks coffee will cost €3, compared to €2.5 for other coffee brands served on the company's flights.
Runway Girl Mary Kirby writes a post about economy seating in the Boeing 787. Recaro Comfort Line's "ultra slim seating", which Mary says is already installed in Qantas Airways' Airbus A380 economy-class cabins "is attracting a lot of interest from airlines", and suggests Boeing is considering a version of the same seating may be used. "Hey, it's got hammocks for your feet! Why the hell not?" she says.

AirAsiaX... be careful.
Most recently, my wife and I were stranded in Abu Dhabi when AirAsiaX announced they were canceling service to/from Abu Dhabi in January this year. They didn’t notify us(their stranded passengers)until Feb 10th. Neither did they offer any accommodation nor answer our emails asking for help. We had to get back to Malaysia on our own. They won’t reimburse our added expense either.
However, they said they will refund our return ticket, but can only do so within 30-50 days. What an attitude!
