United Airlines introduces at-airport COVID testing for SFO-Hawaii flights

24 September 2020 By Seth Miller 2 Comments

As the largest carrier between the mainland and Hawaii United Airlines has a lot to gain by increasing passenger numbers to the islands. Quarantine restrictions limited the viability for most visitors over the summer but a new policy allowing passengers with a negative COVID test to skip the quarantine could help boost traffic. United will soon offer testing at San Francisco International Airport to help meet that requirement.

No seats on a trio of Air Canada 777-300ER planes massively increases capacity for critical medical cargo

Airlines around the world removed the seats from their passenger planes to make more room for cargo. But not in the US. That could change very soon, as the FAA now allows for exemptions to cargo restrictions, engineering companies are securint certifications for the new configurations and airlines are getting the paperwork in order to make the shift.

Fighting for the middle: A pandemic seating shift

11 May 2020 By Seth Miller 2 Comments

Sitting in the middle seat on the Molon Labe S1 Staggered Seat. Plenty of width to be had.

Forget the fight over who gets the arm rests; middle seats on planes are now generating real fights over if they should be occupied at all. And airlines are fueling the flames with misleading marketing messaging.

Inflight social distancing will kill short-haul LCC travel: IATA

21 April 2020 By Seth Miller 10 Comments

Will some these U/LCC seats remain off the market? And will that kill the airlines flying them??

Blocking middle seats or even sitting passengers every other row is not a problem when load factors hover in the mid-teens, occasionally peaking at 30% for an especially busy flight. But if social distancing rules remain in place IATA executives believe the LCC market could collapse as a financially unsustainable endeavor.
