☆ If D.O.T. Gets Its Way, Families Will Sit Together on Flights for Free
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-01 | by ( Christine Chung | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Right now, domestic airlines treat traveling families differently. A handful, such as JetBlue Airways, American Airlines and Alaska Airlines, guarantee that parents can sit next to their children. But on the others, parents are left to pay for more expensive assigned seats or to bank on the good will of strangers. President Biden even called on Congress to pass legislation targeting fees for families to sit together. “Many airlines still don’t guarantee family seating, which means parents wonder if they’ll have to pay extra just to be seated with their young child,” Mr. Buttigieg said in a statement.

The industry said the rule would require airlines to “spend millions” to re-engineer their websites, diverting resources from other projects. Many large US airlines boosted fees this year for checked baggage. U.S. airlines collected $7.1 billion in baggage fees in 2023, up from $6.8 billion in 2022.

American Airlines executives plan to lean on additional earnings from a recently revamped ticket distribution strategy as part of a turnaround strategy. AdvertisementThe disastrous policies cost the company $750 million in lost revenue during the first half of the year, American Airlines CEO Robert Isom said during the earnings call on Thursday. American Airlines did not respond to a request for comment. Second-quarter earnings for American, Delta, and United all fell short of Wall Street expectations.

An American Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft approaches San Diego International Airport for a landing from Phoenix on June 28, 2024 in San Diego, California. American Airlines is forecasting a drop in unit revenue of as much as 4.5% for the third quarter as high demand failed to make up for an industry-wide glut of flights that have forced airlines to slash fares. The carrier's profit fell 46% during the second quarter even though revenues rose. The carrier has been grappling with an industry-wide oversupply of flights and a direct-to-consumer sales strategy it adopted that backfired. It said in an earnings release Thursday that it has "taken swift and aggressive action to reorient its sales and distribution strategy" after complaints from travel agents and customers.

☆ Southwest Airlines Will End Its Longstanding Open-Seating Policy
▼ + stars: | 2024-07-25 | by ( Jenny Gross | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Southwest Airlines will start assigning seats to passengers, ending its longstanding policy of allowing passengers to pick their seats once they have boarded, the airline said on Thursday. The new procedure will be implemented to increase revenue and in response to feedback from customers, 80 percent of whom report preferring an assigned seat, Southwest said. “This is the right choice — at the right time — for our customers, our people and our shareholders,” said Bob Jordan, the president and chief executive of Southwest. The new policy was reported earlier by The Wall Street Journal. The changes bring Southwest, which for years has distinguished itself by offering low prices and a simple business approach, more in line with conventional airlines like American Airlines and United Airlines.

US-based carriers American Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Allegiant Airlines, SunCountry and Frontier Airlines all reported issues on Friday.

Delta Air Lines canceled more than a thousand flights on Sunday, leading Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg to single out the airline as it struggles to recover three days after a global software outage disrupted the aviation industry and grounded flights globally. Delta canceled about 1,300 flights on Sunday, roughly the same number as each of the previous two days, and delayed another 1,600, according to flight tracking website FlightAware. The tech outage on Friday hit airlines especially hard. A flawed update from CrowdStrike, whose software is used around the world, forced Allegiant Air, American Airlines, Spirit Airlines and United Airlines to ground flights, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. It canceled about 1,200 flights each on Friday and Saturday, according to FlightAware, while cancellations for other airlines moderated into the hundreds or dozens.
