Airlines Issue Travel Waivers Amid Venezuela, Caribbean Airspace Closures altitudeyes.com/airlines-iss...

Here’s AA’s airspace closure/travel alert airports. Gonna be a wild end to holiday travel for many with everyone getting rebooked. And brutal timing for airlines. #Avgeek

Yea I dunno if you’re an American trying to get home from the Caribbean…good luck? I think literally *everything* is cancelled today. That’s tens of thousands of stranded passengers who need to be rebooked at the end one the highest peak travel season.

I was going to fly the XLR next week, but I got swayed by a good deal for business class on the A321T. I had PremY on the XLR, so it was a no brainer to switch to the A321T with the lie flats, given it’s a red eye back to Eastern Time. The XLR can wait. #Avgeek

2025 is coming to end in less than 2 hours here in Tokyo, so I wanted to say a few things here. Firstly, thank you to all of you who’ve I met online here this year. I’ve truly enjoyed interacting with, talking, meeting IRL, etc and talking about aviation, and broader life stuff. #Avgeek

The above charts are average block time for AA-marketed flights from DFW to those destinations over the past 30 years. Travel times are longer on average, and that will be exacerbated with the new plan unveiled this weekend. paxex.aero/american-air... #AvGeek $AAL

Looks like a 787-9P went off a taxiway in DFW. Not sure specifics but it’s out of service for “departing the taxiway”

Does anyone else just love this sound on the Boeing 787? It’s the siren like humming, I believe something to do with hydraulics. Correct me if I’m wrong. #Avgeek

I was gonna take the bus home from Haneda Airport, but changed my mind after seeing nasty traffic estimating a 2 hour drive. Now I’m on a reserved seat commuter train with my luggage to avoid carrying them on rush hour trains.

Welcome aboard Japan Airlines flight JL113 with service to Osaka Itami. Taking us there is a domestically configured Boeing 787-8, JA846J. Seated today in First, 1K on the window. There are only 6 F seats out of the 291 seats. #Avgeek

Flying from Tokyo to Osaka today. Not pictured is a massive group 1 and 2 queue behind me. Hub to hub on a weekday, so the vast majority are business travelers. #Avgeek

Good morning from the Japan Airlines Diamond Premier Lounge at Tokyo Haneda Airport. #Avgeek

Lying down in bed just watching the Northern Lights out the window. How can you not love flying?! #Avgeek #northernlights #aurora

Welcome aboard Japan Airlines flight JL9 with service to Tokyo Haneda. Seated today in First Class, seat 2K on a 16 year old Boeing 777-300ER. We are already an hour late, so hopefully we can get out of here soon. #Avgeek

You know you’ll be delayed when you get to the gate at boarding time and the crew still hasn’t gotten on the plane: #Avgeek

They should film Home Alone 5(?) here. Kevin tried to sneak his whole family in without the right status/credit card.

Greetings from the American Airlines Flagship Lounge at Chicago O’Hare, this time with Christmas decorations. First time in a Flagship Lounge since they began serving Bollinger Champagne a few months ago, which I’m enjoying (pic 4). #Avgeek

We’ve got just a couple of weeks until this bullshit is gone with American Airlines. 🥴 That said, my Viasat connection today is solid. Will be really interested to see how it performs when connectivity becomes complimentary. #Avgeek

Haven’t done one of these in a while, so I guess I will do today: Welcome aboard American Airlines flight AA1328 with service to Chicago O’Hare. Taking us there is N850NN, a 15 year old Boeing 737-800. #Avgeek

Never complain about your U.S. carrier or hotel chain’s app. Japanese carriers/hotel chain apps are awful. Virtually everything I click redirects me to Safari, what’s the point of having an app?!
