  3. News Headlines | Sky-high pitch: The new ways airlines are upselling seats

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    The article examines how airlines are increasingly monetising extra cabin space by offering “premium economy”‐style upgrades that sit between standard economy and full‑fare business class, with Air New Zealand’s new “Skynest” bunk‑bed concept serving as a key example. The Skynest, installed on select Boeing 787‑9 Dreamliners, provides three‑person triple‑bunk pods complete with curtains, power outlets, ear‑plugs and fresh sheets for just under NZ $500 on top of a regular economy fare, targeting long‑haul travellers willing to pay for a few hours of lie‑flat comfort without the €4,000‑plus price tag of business class. The piece traces the history of seat‑class differentiation from Howard Hughes’ 1955 two‑class system to today’s myriad “premium economy” options, noting that such seats generate disproportionately high revenue per metre of cabin space—McKinsey analysis shows business seats can earn six times the revenue of economy seats, while premium‑economy seats earn roughly double. Airlines favour these low‑cost, high‑margin upgrades because they can be sold as regular economy seats when unbooked, offering flexibility and better utilisation of cabin space, especially as regulatory delays and long delivery times hinder the rollout of new, costly business‑class cabins. The article concludes that, for travelers on routes like Auckland‑New York, paying a few hundred euros for a limited‑time Skynest reservation may be an attractive compromise, albeit with restrictions on age, duration, and amenities.

    be careful of the blues or you'll might die
    How else should I put it for you to understand why
    the news is never about the who's whose instead of screws

    It quite high in the sky and always the way to stay dry
    Avoid the bruise and cues to ensure the shoes to schmooze
    For you must be careful and intentional with your fuse
    For you only have a few to question, push and muse

  15. "The Hughes H-4 flying boat, also known as the “Spruce Goose,” was designed and built by the Hughes Aircraft Company as an ultra-large, transoceanic military transport for use during World War II. The massive flying boat was the largest all-wood airplane built. It was intended to transport as many as 750 troops to the European or Pacific theaters and avoid the submarines that were sinking hundreds of transport ships during the war. It was actually constructed primarily of birch due to restrictions on the use of aluminum during the war, and weight concerns for such a large aircraft. Numerous delays prevented it from being completed before the end of the war. Its first and only brief flight was conducted #onthisday in 1947, off the coast of San Pedro, California, with Howard Hughes at the controls, David Grant as copilot, and numerous engineers, flight crew, and representatives from the press on board. The only one of its kind ever built, the prototype now resides on display in the Evergreen Aviation Museum in Oregon. See "Aviation Evolutions: The Jim Lund 1:72 Scale Model Airplane Collection", which features more than 200 models, on display, pre-security, in the Aviation Museum. http://bit.ly/AviationEvolutions" This was posted to our Instagram account on November 02, 2018 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1729357437/

  17. Hughes XF-11
    The Hughes XF-11 was a prototype reconnaissance aircraft designed for the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF). The program was delayed beyond the end of the Second World War, rendering it surplus to the USAAF needs and it was cancelled. destinationsjourney.com/histor #aerialwarfare #aeroplane #AirForce #Aircraft #airplane #aviation #HowardHughes #HughesXF11 #Military #reconnaissanceaircraft #UnitedStatesAirForce #UnitedStatesArmyAirForces #USAAF #USAF #warfare #XF11 #XF11 #XR11

  18. Have you ever been in the Spruce Goose, the plane Howard Hughes built? You can do that in the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon. You can easily do one or two days there.

  19. 4/12/24 — Open 6-9p Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.

    New to our Biographies... In '72 Hughes' Corp. built the Glomar Explorer mining/salvage vessel. To build it, a giant crane barge was made by Sun Shipbuilding. It was all a CIA cover, to recover a wrecked Soviet sub. That crane, the Chesapeake 1000, still works today at the MV Dali-shipwrecked Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, MD.

    #Bales2023FilmChallenge March 29: Deception on #SmokeAndMirrorsDay

    Vérités et Mensonges is what it's actually called, but you may know it as F for Fake (1973). Orson Welles and three uncredited fellow conspirators – Gary Graver, Oja Kodar, and François Reichenbach – delve into the world of #art forger Elmyr de Hory by way of his biographer Clifford Irving. Welles et al free-associate with concepts of art, lies, #deception, and #authenticity. Houdin, Welles, Picasso and Hughes, hoaxers, hucksters and artists in their own right. And then it's over: this work of art, this sleight of hand, this demonstration of factuality, an exposé.

  21. I saw a post in which someone tried to compare Howard Hughes with the mental deficiency of Elon Musk and I had to laugh. Yes Hughes in his later years became mentally unstable but was a true aviation pioneer being a test pilot and tool innovator. But the real difference is Hughes wound up with Las Vegas while Musk spent billions on Twitter?🤣
