Live and Let’s Fly Weekend Digest: May 13, 2018

Matthew Klint Posted onMay 13, 2018November 14, 2023 Leave a Comment

Greetings from Tokyo Narita. I’ve been overseas the last several days and will provide further details on my trip tomorow.

Over the last week, United has announced network updates including changes in Mexico service and a re-tooling of its Newark and Washington hubs. We also learned of new service fees coming to Alaska Airlines and how Boeing and Airbus will be hurt by the U.S. pulling out of the Iran Nuclear Deal.

Here’s a review of the top stories from the last week and all the stories on Live and Let’s Fly over the last two weeks, since no Weekend Digest was published last Sunday. Happy Mother’s Day!


TOP STORY: United Shifting Strategy at Newark + Washington Hubs

United will concentrate connecting traffic in Washington Dulles and hopes to make Newark Liberty almost 100% mainline.


A Boring But Brilliant Award Redemption

Sometimes the best redemption are the most boring ones.


Review: Park Hyatt Paris (Renovated Room)
