I took a red-eye flight from NYC to Berlin to start a two-week trip to Europe in October 2022. For $180, I flew through the night with Norse Atlantic Airways and had a row of seats to myself. Although I thought the flight itself was ideal for a red-eye, I started my trip feeling exhausted.

☆ I take dozens of flights a year as an airline reporter. I always go for the aisle seat — even if it costs extra money

AdvertisementFor example, earlier this year, I paid about $100 to snag aisle seats on Finnair flights between New York and Helsinki. I want the freedom to move about the cabin wheneverThe reason I'll pay extra for the aisle seat is two-fold. I opted for a center-section aisle seat on an Air India flight in January, paying an extra $50 for it. The aisle seat lets me stretch an arm or leg out when needed, giving me just enough wiggle room. I paid for my aisle seat for a reason, so I'm within my right to say no.

One expert said eVTOLs fly at low altitudes and could create airspace and security challenges. The US's first electric vertical-takeoff and -landing aircraft are expected to fly commercial passengers as soon as 2025. It still needs further approvals to fly for airlines like United, but the latest certificate puts it one step closer. Archer's Midnight aircraft are typically shorter range, with the Midnight flying up to 100 miles on one charge. Joby plans to use the four urban vertiports as a citywide commercial eVTOL air link around Dubai.

FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker said on April 19 the new rules would take effect in 90 days. FAA Air Traffic Organization Chief Operating Officer Timothy Arel said the timetable will be delayed as the agency holds discussions with the controllers' union with the hope "to have a joint agreement and understanding on new rest periods to allow for joint development of a strategy for implementing" the 2025 schedule "or sooner where feasible."

☆ Why Day Flight to Europe Is Better Transatlantic Option Over Red-Eye
  + stars: | 2024-03-11 | by ( Taylor Rains | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
I recently took a day flight from New York to London to see if it helps jet lag. However, until last week, I had exclusively taken overnight flights — known as red-eye flights — when flying eastbound across the Atlantic. They depart in the morning in the US and land in the evening on the same day in Europe. Curious about how the daytime flight compared to a red-eye, I specifically booked a morning departure for my recent trip from New York to London. Because I was up at 4 a.m. in New York to catch the morning flight, I figured I'd be tired enough to sleep.

☆ Here's why Warren Buffett calls airline stocks hazardous to your investment health

With a midair emergency, disappointing profit forecast and more aircraft groundings after only two weeks, the airline industry is already off to a turbulent 2024. "It's a labor intensive, capital intensive, largely commodity-type business," Buffett said during the annual meeting of Berkshire shareholders in 2013. Selling airlines In 2020, Buffett revealed that Berkshire sold all of its equity holdings in the U.S. airline industry. That included stakes worth a combined $4 billion in all four legacy carriers — United Airlines , American Airlines , Southwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines . And I don't know how it's changed and I hope it corrects itself in a reasonably prompt way," Buffett said then.

☆ What Warren Buffett learned from his past investment mistakes, including IBM and airlines

In the years after Buffett sold IBM, he dramatically raised Berkshire's stake in Apple, becoming the largest shareholder outside of index and exchange-traded fund providers. As of the end of June, Berkshire's Apple stake was worth more than $177 billion, accounting for nearly half of Berkshire's entire equity portfolio. Buffett also admitted it was a mistake not being an early investor in Amazon , saying he underestimated the brilliance of founder Jeff Bezos. Some said that Buffett sold them too early and missed the subsequent rebound when the economy reopened. "It could've been worse, but it was a mistake," Buffett said during 1995 annual meeting .

This means airlines flying between Europe and southern Africa have to detour around the volatile nation. Carriers like British Airways and Air France are impacted, the latter adding up to two hours of flight time. Airlines like Virgin Atlantic Airways, Lufthansa, and Swiss International Airlines are also avoiding Niger.

Airlines scheduled a near-record 51,000 flights from June through August from the U.S. to Europe, according to airline data firm Cirium. The number of scheduled seats is the highest since 2018.

Delta plans to offer a record number of seats from the U.S. to Europe, up 20% from last summer.
