Allie, I'm a little surprised, but it doesn't matter, because the LA Times reports that Mexicana Airlines has declared bankruptcy. I'm very surprised about that. Did some of you see this coming?

I have just learned that the United States aviation authorities have downgraded their safety ratings for AeroMexico and Mexicana Airlines. Will this prevent them from partnering with American airlines' frequent flyer programs, and are you as surprised as I am?

AIRFARES RISING

(AP) "Figures just released from the government, while a bit dated, show that airline prices in the first three months of this year rose nearly 5 percent from a year earlier. And that doesn't include baggage fees and other extras."

Okay, you knew that. But did you know this?

"But if you take a step back, air travel still looks like a bargain. Average fares are 25 percent lower than they were in 1999 after adjusting them for inflation."

Hi,

I am looking for a group air fare from Paris to Luxor on 20OCT with a return from Cairo to Paris on 29th Oct.
The groups size is about 40-45 and looking for the least expensive airfare. Can anyone help?

Just when you thought airlines couldn't get any more devious... I caught this in today's eTurboNews:

Southwest Airlines: God now has a hand in carrier's mechanical prob...
BY CAROL ANN ALAIMO | JUL 25, 2010

If there's a God who controls floods and earthquakes, does the deity also have a hand in an airline's mechanical problems?

Apparently so, according to Tucson's most popular airline, which recently added "mechanical difficulties" to the list of acts of God and other events for which the carrier will not be liable if travel is delayed. ...

Convenient? What do you think?

Relief at JFK?

"A trial for a new jet-queuing system at New York JFK, designed to cut down on lengthy tarmac delays, has been extended after it showed signs of success, says the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, which runs the airport."

That's from USA Today, but the article doesn't define the "signs of success." Do any of you know how much less time planes are now spending on the tarmac?

Ed, there is popular folklore amongst FF that the easiest way to ensure you never lose checked baggage or get misplaced is to carry a simple firearm and declare it at checkin. Boy, those TSA guys would track that piece of luggage like a hawk. They do not want a missing firearm airside.
I think in this case, TSA must have flinched the Glock. How sloppy of Mossad.

A great airline success story (not), thanks to eTurboNews:

A bag belonging to agents travelling with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was mistakenly put on a flight from New York to Los Angeles, not to Washington.

Alarmingly the bag contained four 9mm Glock handguns, which are now missing.
