It's the "Best of" awards at The World on Wheels. Today, we reveal probably the most predictable award for us, the Best Airline of 2012: http://tinyurl.com/c3qem4z

Does anyone here represent any airlines that service Asia or Oceania? We have a proposal that you might want to engage on.

 Emirates group to fly to the Caribbean & South America

A group from the United Arab Emirates just signed a lease for three (3) brand new 737-700s with Canadian travel  industry veteran Glenn Logan who heads Siboney.

 

Mr. Logan, heading a conglomerate of travel experts in the industry, was formerly with Air Jamaica, Travelodge hotels and CEO of CARAVAC, Caribana’s travel arm.

 

The aircraft will be use for operations in the Caribbean and South America regions.  More details will be forthcoming.

 

The Siboney experience is its professionals . . . . .

How will this work ? Operationally ? 

Say I am in 44J on a 747-400. Will they ask folks from say 21-50 with no Star next  to their seat to keep sitting, and only folks with a Star get up, pick their overhead and head to the gate ? 

I can understand tight connections, and I know from experience that inflight crew does make announcements to let pax with a flight to catch be allowed to proceed. 

As soon as the plane stops at the gate; All the folks in the aisle get up and pop open the overhead bins. 

There are some route-pairs which are notorious for ignoring any post landing instructions. Flights to MCO being the prime case in point.

Just read about an interesting new idea for a airline fee that many people might actually appreciate, as polled by one travel site:

"16% of respondents were willing to pay to be at the front of the line when their flight lands. Of that group, 10% would pay $10 and 3% would pay as much as $20." 

Would you pay extra to avoid aggravation and better make tight connections by being able to get off a plane faster (sorry, I refuse to use that ridiculous airline jargon "deplane")?

Good questions, Anil. I don't have answers, of course, but there's one thing we both have: an overwhelming feeling of dismay.

This premium economy is not a new concept is it ? AA tried it a decade ago, adding few extra inches, BA did it, United tried it. From what I gather all mixed bag. If CDC were to be believed, We in the country have a crisis with obesity - Maybe airlines are banking on making monies off it ? In a full flight, the airlines are forced to move pax into those seats anyway without any revenue gain. 

As long as frequent flyers who have status, and the airlines keep giving complimentary upgrades; who would pay extra for premium economy ?
