PDX is crap lately. Take it from someone that lived there for 30 years and moved to Europe. Nobody wants to go there -not the way they did 20yrs ago. It’s just a different city.
Jump to postThey might not need to. Look what the competition has.
Jump to postIt’s also a choice for people. I could have chosen Air China flying from Europe to Bangkok. They were 300 cheaper than AF. But I chose not to give my money to them or any other crap countries airline flying over russia . We need to understand that we have options. It may not be the cheapest but we c...
Jump to postRegardless of what people may read into this - DL themselves have said SEA is profitable. Is it ATL? Ofc not. But it makes money and DL is in it for the long haul
Jump to post…and was let go with his family to board another aircraft. Not sure where he is.
Jump to postSpeculate all you want but one thing we know. SEA is profitable. And yet we have people saying it’s not like it’s a fact. The most profitable airline in the world knows what it is doing.
Jump to postWhy wouldn’t it be?? England last I checked was in Europe. Maybe not the EU but Europe yes.
Jump to postNot a shocker. Every airline has fares at 400+ euros to LAX from Europe. Smart on DL.
Jump to postIf you had no intention of flying the route - I don’t see anything due. I’m sorry but to me this looks like someone trying to get something for free once again.
Jump to postFinland’s president travels C on AY.
Jump to postUpgrade from a hard product perspective but 1 seat less than the 300.
Jump to postInteresting indeed…DL isnt doing all that bad after all..amazing that the executives behind an airline that makes the most amount of money know what their doing ..huhh
Jump to postLet’s not get carried away here. SAS is known for its dirt cheap fares across the Atlantic. From LAX, you can get a ticket to most mainstream destinations in Europe for RT$400-$600 off peak - including a checked bag. I’m sure their business model will change but it won’t be overnight. Interesting. ...
Jump to postI wonder what will happen to EuroBonus…will this be rolled into Flying Blue eventually or will they keep it?
Jump to postAMS isnt going anywhere. Very good load factors. And from what i have seen, DL commands a premium over BA. BA is always the cheapest to and from PDX and SEA. Flew them once and never again. Service was shotty, the food was served in a cardboard box and was inedible. Seats horribly uncomfortable on t...
Jump to postLook…regardless of evidence..it’s rather clear that somehow DL is bringing in a premium compared to their peers which are bigger, have a more in depth network and larger premium cabins.. there is the proof. Boom. DL has a very loyal following. My dad will not fly anyone else other than DL. And there...
Jump to postI saw an option for going through the VIP treatment, I think it was with BA last time I flew them. If I remember correctly, it was 380 euros additional to go to the VIP terminal. Or maybe it was a VIP lounge.. but yeah not very cheap.
Jump to postFinnair CEO was on CNN. He stated that leisure premium travel is up. He was asked why he thought that was. He said he believed it was because people’s ideology has changed throughout the pandemic, and are more likely to splurge on themselves. I can see that.
Jump to postWith DL’s push in SEA, i think PDX isnt their number one focus in the NW anymore. Delta can drive all that HND traffic through Seattle. ICN would make sense for sure. Times change and Delta has usually been good reacting to differences in trend. Cant also underestimate the amount of SkyMilers. My da...
Jump to postWith tourism way down in PDX - understandably so- I don’t see DL continuing HND. ICN will be a much better route for them. One can still get to TYO with one stop.
Jump to postLet China Turkey and the ME keep Russia. Time for the modern world to move on.
Jump to postNoticed that BA is operating the 787 again. Is it a permanent change or do they operate it usually with both 777 and 787??
Jump to postMost US airlines already give you the Ryanair experience without the FR price lol if you are gonna compare a 30euro roundtrip on FR to a 500 roundtrip in AS to Florida…and you expect me to believe that you are getting a better deal on AS? What do they offer for that price that FR doesn’t? A can of $...
Jump to postAnd especially when comparing the cost to fly in the US vs Europe. I can get a C class ticket and fly across Europe for the same price as I paid to fly in Y from PDX to MCO. Airfare in the states is much higher in general in my experience at least.
Jump to postI suppose that is subjective. Premium Select has worked great for me. Great service and plenty of space. Not sure what you were expecting?
Jump to postThis all is very true. OneWorld and Star have all cut service to the bare bones in Europe. The only decent full service carriers in Europe are AF and KL. SkyTeam. They are bettering on board offerings while their competition charges for soda and coffee. KLM serves a sandwich and hands out free Heine...
Jump to postAY used to be a great airline! I avoid it like the plague these days. Them and SK. Service has been chopped to an unacceptable level when competing with airlines that still operate as a full service carrier. I fly AY only on European routes. Flying to the US in May, I opted to fly with DL/KL. Much b...
Jump to postCant imagine it’s doing well yet with the 777. Snagged a 320 euro roundtrip from Stockholm to PDX the end of May.
Jump to postKLM is dropping Aarhus after just 5 months. https://check-in.dk/klm-traekker-sig-fra-aarhus-efter-blot-142-dage/ This makes me worry about the new SAS Aalborg-Newark route in the summer Reason I’m thinking that as I always saw in the past AF and KL offering very cheap long haul connections from ARN...
Jump to postIf you are disabled, it is your responsibility to make the necessary arrangements. For example, have someone fly with you so they can help or check your damn bag in.
Jump to postI too have noticed that in the US the seatbelt sign is on most of the flight. In Europe, it tends to go off after 10k. The FAs are also seated at all times when the seatbelt sign is on. And spring into action when it turns off.
Jump to postConnections via DL/KL seem to be much better. Sticking with them.
Jump to postAY and QR service are very different. This shall be interesting
Jump to postHopefully they can manage to take care of these..but i have my doubts
Jump to postOh great! Ok- I thought it was permanent cuz it showed as 4pm departure next year as well when I was looking further ahead. Interesting..and it was 150pm departure ( on Nov 8) up until yesterday. My mom got a notification that there was a change in her schedule. Air France site still shows 150pm dep...
Jump to postLooks like DL has changed the flight time on the AMS flight. Looking at November 8 - Leaves at 4pm and arrives AMS 11am. Used to leave at 150pm. Not liking this change. Prior one could make the KL morning bank. Not so much anymore.
Jump to postI would imagine that it’s filled with Ghanaian government officials going on shopping holidays with their cards linked directly to the state bank account that are upset because their travel plans got delayed. I’m sure they don’t give a hoot about the average residents bad experiences.
Jump to postI seriously wonder how safe these western aircraft are that are currently flying. Aren’t there quite a few updates that have to be done to the systems of these aircraft? How are they managing this?
Jump to postAgreed. Not sure why anyone would choose to fly AS over DL on anything longer than 2hrs. Service is just as good and you have a ptv to make time pass. And no, I do not and will not drag my iPad with to watch a movie.
Jump to postwhy is this so puzzling to people? Air traffic changes happen all the time. Why does there have to be a “reason”?
Jump to postNot a shocker..we shouldnt be surpised. Its amazing half these planes stay in the air in general
Jump to postyeah…the UA guy in uniform should never act like that on the job. Doesn’t matter how stupid customers are or how bad they pull the “race card”. Common sense folks. How can someone piss you off so bad at work lol
Jump to postMy mom was on the thursday 1st flight. Totally packed and she commented the same! Awesome service from the PDX based crew. They were very excited to return to intl flying
Jump to postMy mom is on the AMS flight. They had a party at the gate. Everyone got a fancy cupcake. Flight is full!
Jump to postWell I do not know about that! It seems their fleet is stretched rather thin. My aunts flight to Riga was cancelled two weeks ago and rebooked the next day. Then yesterday again, SmartWings was operating the BT flight. What kind of issues are they having? Staffing or?
