Most people are wasting their points. But you don’t have to be one of them. Here's how to make your points worth 2-3x more: 1. Stop transferring all your points to Delta. 2. Stop redeeming directly through the portal. Here’s what you should do: Learn which airlines miles transfer from your credit card. Transfer points strategically to get better value. For example: Transfer your points to Virgin Atlantic for Delta flights, British Airways for American Airlines and Alaskan or Air Canada Aeroplan for United flights. With a little effort, your points can take you further than you think. It's a lot more complex than this but I made a table to help.

Aviation History BRANIFF WHO? Braniff Airways, British Airways & Air France Joint Services Aviation history was made on 12th Jan 1979 as 2 Concordes, belonging to Air France & British Airways, flew in from the east and lined up to land on parallel runways at Dallas DFW. This was the start of a scheduled supersonic service between Dallas DFW & Europe by Braniff in cooperation with Air France and British Airways. Braniff had placed orders for 3 Concordes, which they had to cancel. But they still had ambitions of operating the aircraft - and cooperation with BA & AF seemed the best option. On January 12th 1979, they introduced their first Concorde service between Dallas & Washington DC Dulles airport, and Europe. The flights between Dallas and Washington were operated by Braniff Flight & cabin crews after which British or French crews would take over for the remaining segment. To operate this service, there had to be a temporary change in ownership of the aircraft. As well as changing flight crews the US approved documentation and procedures had to be present on the flight deck, which meant that the UK/French documentation had to be stored in the forward toilet. There also had to be a change in the aircraft registration, while being flown on the US sector. #travel #aviation

If you're flying anywhere this summer and need to make a connection en route, maybe give yourself an extra hour over and above the minimum connection time if you're flying Air Canada or WestJet. And if you're flying Porter, make it an extra two and a half hours. And if you value on-time performance, try Delta or United. This little analysis is courtesy of an R script I wrote analyzing the estimated on-time performance of 10 airlines at seven major Canadian airports, including their subsidiaries and feeder partners.

American Airlines plans to reduce its transatlantic services this winter.   Starting October 27, 2024, the airline will stop operating its third daily roundtrip flight between Los Angeles and London Heathrow and suspend the #Phoenix to #London route until March 28, 2025. The goal of these adjustments is to maintain a balance between supply and demand, particularly in wintertime when there is less travel. The modifications also refer to possible reallocations within the fleet, like the refurbishment of Boeing 777-300ERs. This planned action is a reflection of American Airlines’ dedication to strengthening its worldwide network and the dynamic patterns of international aviation. #americanairlines #aviationnews #Boeing777 

End of day 1 at Farnborough airshow #FIA2024. Great meeting old friends and making new connections. Execs still talking of good times and demand exceeding 2019. In contrast, Ryanair reporting a 15% drop in average fares with “pricing continuing to deteriorate”, Air Canada reporting overcapacity and a drop in pricing power while forecasting a 42% drop in operating income, and United reporting pressure on yields and a need to trim capacity from mid-august (still in the summer peak), amongst negative outlooks from other major carriers around the US and Europe. As I commented in an interview article in October 2023, the party is likely to be over by mid 2024. That forecast seems to be playing out as predicted. #RYANAIR, #AIRCANADA, #UNITED Mark Pilling Graham Dunn Edward Russell Max Kingsley-Jones FlightGlobal Airline Business Skift Aviation International News Aviation Week Network AirlineReporter Airfinance Journal Reuters BBC News Bloomberg News CNBC Financial Times CNN WirtschaftsWoche Handelsblatt

What is the best airline in America? It’s a question many people are asking now that travel has roared back to life. J.D. Power—a global leader in consumer insights, data and analytics—has just released its annual North America Airline Satisfaction Study, which ranks the best U.S. airlines based on passenger satisfaction in eight metrics, including aircraft, baggage, boarding, check-in; cost and fees, flight crew, in-flight services and reservation.

Some fun and interesting facts about some of IATA’s airport codes. The industry I work in now uses the ICAO ones but having spent almost all my career in the airline sector the IATA codes will always make more sense 😁 https://lnkd.in/enRxyyEw
