Live and Let’s Fly Weekend Digest: February 26, 2017

Matthew Klint Posted onFebruary 26, 2017 Leave a Comment

Greetings from cold and rainy Seattle. I am speaking at FTU this weekend and it has been a lot of fun. If you have not yet been to FTU, consider the upcoming Minneapolis FTU in June. This weekend I am speaking on stopovers, United Airlines, and will do a live award booking demo on Sunday afternoon. It’s a great group of people who attend these events.

I’ll be home for a couple weeks – thankfully – and look forward to catching up on trip reports and having more time to blog in the coming days. Of course there are all sorts of housing projects my wife has earmarked my time for as well and there is that baby who requires more attention than ever. We’ll see how the new weeks goes!

Garuda’s Dangerous Gamble at LAX

Garuda also announced this week it will begin 3x weekly service Los Angeles. This route represents quite a gamble if the goal is to profit on it.
