I've read all the resources in the stickied thread, now I'm mostly just interested in personal opinions from people who've done the work and whether or not they'd recommend it to a newb. In my preliminary searches on the topic of this work I came across a decent number of reddit...

Excited to see Delta and United pop today, i want more routes and nicer planes.

Alaska Airlines is adopting Google’s open-source marketing measurement tool, Meridian, alongside GA4 and traditional media mix modeling, to better understand and optimize its advertising performance. According to Owen Bickford, the airline’s paid performance media director, no...

This is one of those rule changes I can actually understand but still find kind of annoying. I get that lithium battery fires are scary and real, but now Southwest wants us to only use power banks if they’re in sight, not tucked in bags or bins? It’s giving a “half-measure.”...

Fascinating read on TIME about the age-old “safest seat” topic, triggered by that one survivor from the recent Air India crash. Turns out he was near the front, which kind of breaks the usual “sit near the wings or in the back” theory. The article dives into crash dynamics,...

This blog gets into the weeds of the new restrictions and the legal carve-outs, but the bottom line is the same: if you're from one of the 19 named countries and you're outside the U.S. without a visa, you're probably stuck. Even with the exceptions, it’s a logistical and...

This is wild. The scope of this new ban is so much broader than the 2017 one, and it hits countries that were never on the radar before, like Togo and Laos? It feels like the reasoning is all over the place too, with visa overstays and cooperation on deportations being the new...

Another week, another travel company folds. This time it’s Great Little Escapes in the UK, gone without much warning and now travelers are being told not to even ask for refunds until further notice. That’s got to feel like a punch to the gut if you had a big trip lined...

Honestly, I used to look at premium travel insurance as something overly cautious or only for luxury travelers, but after the past few years of chaos from wars to wild weather to random tech outages, it's starting to feel like the smarter baseline. I mean, when even Marriott...

Just read through TIME’s 2025 list of the 100 greatest places, and now I’m questioning every trip I’ve ever taken. Tiny Seaside houses in Denmark? Armenian wine country? Namibia’s dark sky reserve? This list is stacked. I love that it's not just about cities, you’ve got remote...

If you’re tired of the same crowded spots, this one’s worth a look. There’s a growing list of tiny villages around the world that are being highlighted for doing tourism the right way local, quiet, and focused on culture and nature. Think hot springs in Tuscany, farms in...

JetBlue shares dropped 5.3% to $4.85 on May 21, underperforming peers like Delta and Southwest. Now down over 40% from January highs—anyone else watching this slide?

Air Canada's CFO remains optimistic about reaching $30B in revenue by 2028, despite current challenges like declining U.S. travel and economic uncertainties.They're investing in fuel-efficient aircraft and technology upgrades to stay on course.Have you ever had to stay confident...

Thailand is ramping up flights to China as travel demand surges. Singapore Airlines reports an 80% increase in seat sales to China, and Thai carriers like Thai Airways and Thai AirAsia are restoring routes to key cities. Have you noticed more flight options lately?

Just read that one of Lufthansa's top investors is pushing management to face labor resistance head-on to boost their sluggish stock price.✈️💼 Ever had a workplace stuck in limbo because no one wanted to face the real issues? Curious how this will play out in the aviation world.

American is finally catching up and adding new business class suites with sliding doors on some of their long-haul jets. Took 'em long enough. Everyone else has been moving this way, and AA’s older premium cabins were starting to feel super tired. I’m all for the added privacy —...

Interesting take from Korean Air’s CEO, calling the ongoing tariffs between the US and China a “time bomb” makes it pretty clear how fragile the cargo side of the business still is. Passenger travel might be rebounding, but cargo clearly hasn’t found its footing. You’d think by...
