"The airlines are using AI to get as much money out of us," says @thepointsguy Brian Kelly. "We should be using AI tools to get back at them." https://t.co/ygu4o04VzA

@kpottermn The one thing I don't see: an extension of the Premium Snack Benefit.

Would be an absolute travesty if we lost Dots Pretzels/Nerds Gummy Clusters.

@travelhacked What a deal for the new @AlaskaAir biz class

[Sam Hollander @SamHollander_]

@Tjernlund I'd LOVE it! Would you mind shooting me a DM, or an email at [first_name] [at] https://t.co/2xIR93OIlx

[Sam Hollander @SamHollander_]

@WaltLightShed You think they'd reserve that for news like "Apple Intelligence finally working."

[Sam Hollander @SamHollander_]

@alecvxyz Super cool! Congrats @alecvxyz and team!

@LandonB32 @withautopilot Just shot you a DM!

[Sam Hollander @SamHollander_]

@JTGenter Glad they finally launched this. The clock was winding down on the "early 2026" timeframe.

@_ZachGriff @JetBlue Don't worry, it'll almost certainly be empty at check-in.

Ended up on the @British_Airways wrapped Subway this morning!

@mattshumer_ Couldn’t agree more

[Sam Hollander @SamHollander_]

Now is a great time to remind people: Spirit going out of business has a tremendous impact on fares.

Fare data from @withautopilot: prices are up >21% in the last 7 days.

Not all of the increase is due to Spirit (oil, etc), but this is not a good sign for things to come.

Haiku in memory of Spirit airlines:

Yellow A320,
Spirit folds its tray table,
Final boarding call.

@pitdesi B6 might not have the appetite for major FLL expansion solo.

Could be an opening to expand Blue Sky though - UA picks up FLL, partners with B6 there in exchange for more JFK?

Until B6 gets bought by UA, of course.

[Sam Hollander @SamHollander_]

@pitdesi Yeah, I'm interested to see who takes over those FLL slots

[Sam Hollander @SamHollander_]

Hot take: airplane wifi shouldn't be free.

Speeds on Viasat-equipped planes have become so much slower now that bandwidth is taken up by kids scrolling TikTok.

I'd happily pay for dedicated bandwidth/faster speeds. This isn't the case with Starlink tho.

@duckybtw Congrats @duckybtw! Hope the honeymoon was a blast

[Sam Hollander @SamHollander_]

@mattshumer_ @JasonKuperberg Excited to follow along for the new chapter! 💪
