American Airlines, the biggest airline in the world, has unveiled its aspirations in the new year. Titled, “One Team, One Plan 2019,” an infographic details the components of three main objectives: (1) make culture a competitive advantage, (2) build American Airlines to thrive forever, and (3) create a world-class customer experience. 

Flyers of United Airlines are now able to purchase Premium Plus seating on select routes beginning on March 30, 2019. The new class will have larger seats for travelers, as compared to Economy Plus, by approximately two inches. 

The larger seating is, additionally, nearer to the front of the aircraft. It is arranged so that there are two seats, an aisle, three seats, an aisle, and, finally, two seats. The seating comes with increased legroom and reclining ability and a larger screen to watch in-flight entertainment. 

United Airlines is following the path of its competitors, American Airlines and Delta Air Lines, and now charging more to customers who would pay to evade sitting in the back of the plane. The seats are basic economy and do not come with any of the additional perks, such as additional legroom, that would be offered on higher classes. 

There's good news for corporate travel coming. Delta has announced they will be offering free WiFi to all their customers on all their flights. 

American Airlines recently announced that they will now have free live TV on 100 of their domestic planes. Offering the service through Dish Network, they now have twelve live channels, including NBC, USA, Telemundo, CBS, Disney, CNBC, NFL Network, ESPN, CNN, FOX, TNT and Bravo. Future plans are in place to have internet and live TV on all of their domestic planes by the end of next year.
 

Large companies and corporations are always conscious of expenditures. Saving money on travel is often a priority, but allowing employees to select cost-effective flights when flying for business travel is one place they may rather pay more.
 

Recently there have been numerous changes and upgrades being made at the Los Angeles International Airport. Several construction projects, ranging from parking structures, to sidewalks, to the terminals have been underway, and the improvements are noticeable. Although the construction process can impact overall congestion, the goal is to make LAX bigger and better, which a major hub like Los Angeles warrants!
 

CNN reported recently they obtained a new internal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) document that discloses a proposed $300 million in budget cuts. The TSA is proposing about six major cuts that, if approved, are supposed to take place sometime by the year 2020.
