Greetings from a beautifully blustery autumn day in Carmel, CA. I’ll have details tomorrow about the wonderful way I’ve spent my long holiday weekend.
It was a fairly quiet week on the blog and in the aviation industry, which was appreciated. We’ll see what next week brings, though. We did learn further details about Lufthansa’s new 777-9 Business Class seat and that the UK’s already-high departure tax will rise again.
Here’s a review of the week’s top stories and every Live and Let’s Fly post for the last week.
