The most interesting part of the Q2 call was when Buttrick (I believe) asked why UA was having trouble refinancing their $900M dedt due later this year. Was it a problem that the interest rates being...

I'd also check out code-share partners like Continental Airlines. CO sells seats on LHR-EWR and LHR-SFO Virgin flights, re-labelled with CO flight numbers. They sometimes have seats with fares less...

After having experienced hell on that bus-ride, my advice for you would be to go to SFO. Forget about the bus. The bus ride is contracted out to a local operator who couldn't care less about the...

As long as you stay out of the border states with Pakistan (Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab, and of course, Kashmir), you should be fine.

A lot of the talk is just that, talk. Politicians (India) and...

It'd be interesting, except that AA has a hub at both ends of the ORD-DFW route, and that'd be tough to compete against for UA. SEA-ORD doesn't hurt Alaska because they don't fly it. It's a...

The 737s may be the first to go in the...
