Live and Let’s Fly Weekend Digest: August 06, 2017

Matthew Klint Posted onSeptember 17, 2017November 14, 2023 Leave a Comment

A pleasant Sunday evening to you. It has been a quiet week for me that included a nice trip with my family to Carmel, CA. I’ll have a full report on the Hyatt Carmel Highlands in the weeks ahead.

United announced several new European routes for summer of 2018 this week, Air Berlin inched closer toward liquidation, and Turkish Airlines renewed its interest in the 747-8. But it was a quiet week overall. That is a good thing.

I’m looking forward to another week at home.
