What to Know Now
Nobody likes taking redeye flights (my current running theory is that every single redeye takes a month off of your life), but for those of us who can't avoid them, some solace is on the horizon. Premium transcontinental air travel has been on the rise, offering a more luxuriant and hopefully more restful journey for business and first class passengers.
American, Delta, United, and JetBlue are currently in a footrace to unroll the fanciest service at the highest frequency. With all now offering premium products at some level, service is now expanding up the east coast to ports like Boston. And with a little luck, that service will eventually expand to Chicago, Miami and Charlotte. To me, that sounds like a good night of sleep.
Social Quote of the Day
@jetblue is finally launching Mint service from Boston. I wonder how the other airlines are going to react (or not) https://shar.es/1qb2P
