What is Dorkfest, you might ask? It's a fabulous event created by our friend Brett Snyder (aka Cranky Flier), where a bunch of AvGeeks get together at the In-N-Out by LAX to look at airplanes, eat some chow, win airport/airline giveaways, and be around a great group of people. Sound interesting? Here are the deets: What: Dorkfest When: Saturday, September 19th 11am to 1pm Where: Airport Landing…
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) recently unveiled a $399 million, 145,000-square-foot expansion of the C Concourse and I had the opportunity to explore the space. I think passengers will be impressed and there is one new addition that AvGeeks will love!
Way back in 2017 we wrote about United's next-gen premium cabin product called Polaris. Early in Polaris' rollout I tried it on a shiny new 787-10 on a transcon route, but in all the time since then I haven't flown it on a true international flight. I finally managed to work long-haul Polaris into my travels. And the timing was perfect because it's been a newsworthy period for United's onboard…
Over the years, I have covered quite a few inaugural flights into Seattle. They are always a hoot, but often there aren't many surprises. Well, when Cathay Pacific Airlines did an inaugural flight to Seattle (SEA) from Hong Kong (HKG) on March 30, they did things a bit differently, and in a grand way. Not only did I get to experience the normal excitement of being on the ramp to greet the…
We walk you through the highlights of British Airways' new suite-style business class. How does it compare against the older Club World cabin? And is it worth your time / dollars / points / miles? Read to find out.
AvGeeks traveling to, from, or transiting through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) will soon have access to a relatively rare amenity, at least in the Pacific Northwest of the United States: an observation deck. Currently expected to open to the traveling public in the second quarter of 2026, the expanded concourse will add at least 10 restaurants to the airport's offerings, several new…
I am one of those who don't mind doing airport drop offs and pickups. Often I will actually park and walk the person to security or meet them when they come out. I miss the days when you could go through security with the person, walk them to their gate, and wave to their plane as it pushed back. Or welcome them with a smile at the gate as they deplaned. Most drop offs today are about speed and…
JFK will unveil the first stage of a new Terminal 6 in the first half of 2026. We walk you through what passengers can expect out of the new facility.
Over the last few years, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport has invited some local AvGeeks, who love sharing their airline passion online, to a special gathering. We all meet up airside and get a rundown of the day, go through security, then pile into a few vans and head out to the airfield, all under escort from airport ops. That part alone is pretty entertaining and fun, but it gets better…
Recently, Edelweiss celebrated their inaugural flight from Zurich to Seattle using an Airbus A340 (4 engines 4 long haul). I was double excited not only to see a new international carrier start service at my home airport, but they are also using an AvGeek favorite: the A340.
