It can’t be overstated how much I love being able to keep an eagle eye on the standby passenger list, watching them clear and being able to be super vigilant about keeping my middle seat empty. A+. Thank you, #United! 🥰

First flight done. Comfy! The extra legroom really helped. Zero complaints. I’ve really missed the 175.

I’ve long heard the UA app is slick. But very impressed. I scored an Economy Plus empty row, but a nonrev was assigned the seat next to me 15 mins before boarding. Used app to move back three rows (still e+) to again have an empty companion. Seamless update. Everything updated like it was supposed to.

So here’s the background: I’ve been a Southwest fanboy for 20+ years and was a-list for a decade.

But without status, the appeal is lost, and I’m a free agent. I (the person tooting, not airline reporter) was a vocal United skeptic in Twitter days.

Anyway, I get UA silver via Marriott Titanium Lifetime status. So I might as well use it. Or that’s the idea. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Let’s see!

First time for this tooter to fly United (on purpose) since 2017. In a world where nothing makes sense, this totally checks out.

Hoping it’s a pleasant experience. United hater to fan might make a good story. But first, let’s kick it on a republic Embraer. #AvGeek #United #Embraer #KMCI

We got to join United’s annual holiday Fantasy Flight out of Newark, which brought 150 New Jersey-area pediatric patients on a flight to see Santa at the North Pole. Check out our full story for pics, video, and plenty of AvGeeky holiday cheer:

The kids got a huge welcome from the crowd at Santa’s workshop.

One of the flight crewmembers told us the day’s mission was to help these kids focus on the magic of the moment instead of all the weight on their shoulders. This flight and experience seemed like a great way to do exactly that 👏🏼 👏🏼

We’ll have a full story on the website in time for the holidays!

And then it was a 45-minute Mach 3 flight to the North Pole.

Either that or the crew had everyone close their shades so they could just secretly return to Newark, to a gate decorated as Santa’s HQ. Not sure.

The crew worked for weeks with the ATC powers that be so our flight could do a few low sightseeing loops over NYC before heading to the North Pole. And it was 100% worth it 🤩

News out of #KC, #Missouri. The troubled airline history museum is relaunching with a new management, and board. And its Lockheed Constellation has been acquired by John Travolta.

Wow!

Allegiant Air’s Teamster pilot union authorizes strike. 97.4% in favor. Wow. Good for them.

They will be holding a practice picket at Orlando/MCO on Wednesday

This, after doing the same at St Pete/PIE earlier this week.
