Because Spirit and Southwest don’t fly to most of the airports that United does.

No one gets bumped off a foreign airline?! I was IDB’d from an Air Canada flight a few weeks ago. Flight operated by a E170 (~70 seats) was overbooked by 5 people, though I can’t complain too much as the $800 Canadian I received in compensation covered most of what I had spent in Montreal that weekend. I’ve also…

Somewhat easy to confuse US Airways and United though. US used to be in Star Alliance, so the two code-shared a lot. There was also a point last decade where the two tried to merge - the failed merger then led to Continental hooking up with United.

Because it’s reserved for elites or people who pay extra for the room. Letting random people sit there eliminates the ability to charge for the seats and infuriates your most loyal (profitable) customers. People tend to forget airlines are for-profit businesses.

Now that airlines charge for “premium” Economy seats - in this case Economy Plus - they do care were passengers sit.

Something’s fishy. United claims no Marshals were involved. Someone’s definitely lying in this story.

Were you flying United? Charlotte is an American hub. Bizarre routing to be flying United, unless it’s an uber cheap fare.

Boarding zones - basic fares will be the last to board, and then the gate agents will enforce the carry-on size rule. The fare doesn’t prohibit the use of overhead space, it just limits the customer to one, small carry-on. Like on Spirit, where if you have a backpack you don’t pay extra. Same concept here on…

Delta and American offer the same exact fare. Delta calls it Delta Basic, and American calls it Basic Economy. United is just catching up.

You’ll be in the last boarding zone, and then the gate agent will check the size of your carry-on. The rules of the fare limit the size of your carry-on (must fit below seat, aka backpack like on Spirit) - there’s no charge for overhead space. It’s a really poorly written article and explanation.

That used to exist, airline called Midwest. All business class seating, and warm cookies on every flight. Of course they went bankrupt because people and, mostly importantly, corporations weren’t willing to pay extra. If you want all those amenities, then buy a first-class ticket.

But then you’re not allowed to discriminate against specific companies. So you either place a tariff on all cars (ok, can segment here somewhat - sedans, trucks, etc) or no tariff at all. If GM or Ford have to pay a tariff on their small cars produced in Mexico, so will Toyota, Mazda, VW, etc.

Could also be that eastern Germany is poorer than western Germany, resulting in more crime. Despite the country unifying 25 years ago, major differences remain.

Some of the auction cars used less elegant methods to stay dry.

I don’t remember seeing a single GT-R. GTs were out in force - I counted at least 10!

I was there, and have slightly better photos, before it started raining. Don’t think I’ll make the Sunday show :( https://goo.gl/photos/j8jhSgA…

There was more!

777's range, at least for the 200LR and 300ER models, is higher than the 747. Even the older 200ER models have similar range - just looking at United it’s using its 200ERs on many routes the 747 once flew (Chicago - Hong Kong, for a brief moment until Dreamliners took over LAX/San Francisco - Sydney). Even the new and…

This is exactly why Google is developing their car without a steering wheel, as they realized (there’s a quote somewhere of their engineers) it’s either all or nothing. They did testing with Google employees and realized that drivers became much less attentive, dangerously so, when autopilot-like features were…
