Latin America’s New Giant: Which Alliance?

On Friday, Brazil’s largest airline TAM and neighboring rival, LAN, announced that they would merge their corporate entities in a KLM/Air France-type model. Each airline will maintain its existing brand, but its management and ownership will be one organization. This would create a South American giant, with LATAM Airlines being the name of the […]

Itapua Beach in Salvador, Bahia, in Brazil’s Northeast. If their request pending before the US Department of Transportation is approved, which seems likely, then American Airlines will offer daily non-stop service to this city from Miami beginning this November.

Check the Code Share Flights

Its getting tougher to find great fares. The price of oil continues to rise and airlines (including low cost carriers) continue to drop out of the market.

Continental Saves the Day: $50 Fuel Surcharge Craziness

Last Friday, United Airlines raised its fuel surcharge from $20 to $50 roundtrip for most of its flights. We all know that fuel prices are getting out of hand, but a $50 surcharge is tremendous.
