Let us commemorate my transition into adulthood today with some links…

  1. Frontier got some financing it desperately needed. PlaneBuzz has some good points about it. The airline added some fees, too.
  2. In case you didn’t hear yesterday, a Qantas 747-400 en route to Melbourne from London experienced a sudden loss in cabin pressure due to a hole in the fuselage that formed during the flight after a stop in Hong Kong. The Middle Seat Blog already has some speculation about the cause.
  3. Chris Elliott points out that when inflation is considered in fare data, the recent airfare increases don’t seem all that bad.
  4. The first 767-300ER with blended winglets has made a successful first flight.
  5. Mark Ashley reports that Spirit’s web convenience fee is no more.
  6. Alaska made money, but made it harder to redeem frequent flier miles and could be cutting jobs.

Enjoy the weekend…
