from 2021-01-28T14:43
First the policies change. Then they change again. Keeping up with that back and forth is incredibly challenging. But we're trying.
Topics in this episode:
* The US announced plans to relax restrictions, and then just hours later that was countered. Now the rules are even more strict, including quarantine requirements.* KLM Indicated it would halt long-haul flights following proposal of strict testing requirements that would affect crew. Again, a change of policy saw that averted.* Canada's airlines face continued challenges, including more service cuts as test and quarantine rules are strengthened.* Norwegian's long-haul operation is dead, and with that some changes to the TATL marketplace are already being seen.* Alaska Airlines will offer a new status tier at 100k miles starting next year, but no one really knows what it will include* A man lived in O'Hare for 3 months.* British Airways has a new grocery partner for Avios earn and burn.* Chengdu has a new mega airport slated to open soon.* The Ghanaian government really doesn't want to fly to Gatwick
For our Patreon subscribers we have bonus content, including:
* Allegiant has some fun in Portland* United Airlines has less fun in long-haul ops
And plenty more. Enjoy the show!
Huge thanks to our newest patrons:
