Airlines are better than ever at tweaking fares to meet changes in demand, so you’ll see some great flash sale deals where they think demand needs a boost and some real sticker shock at popul…
You’re more likely than ever to fly somewhere this summer, and when you do, you may find some surprises. As usual, for passengers the bad surprises often outnumber the favorable, but either way, they’re coming at you.
One big change that could ultimately make things a bit easier is that both airlines and security agencies are serious about using facial recognition to replace pieces of paper, app images, and physical screening. The confidence is high enough that facial recognition could actually be all you need to get through an airport and get on a plane. It’s in use in only a few places so far, but you might well encounter it this year and for sure will encounter it in following years.
Here at home, Frontier is tackling the challenge of “main cabin” misery by offering what the blogosphere calls “European-style business class.” That means ordinary economy seating but with the middle seat blocked off. In my view, Spirit’s “big front seat” is a better option – a few genuine first-class seats at the front. Pricing will vary depending on demand, but the idea is good.
Unfortunately, Avelo is guilty of an ongoing trend of deceptive airport names. It didn’t start the trend; we’ve had Chicago/Rockford, New York/Stewart, Boston/Manchester, and Frankfurt/Hahn for years now. Avelo has added Portland/Salem, Oregon, and Philadelphia/Wilmington. The good folk of Oakland are also thinking about renaming their airport as “San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport.”
