Summary: <br> Maybe we should've used this title and topic last week around Easter, but hopping islands is fun and we didn't want to not <a href="https://paxex.aero/2020/04/caribbean-airlines-milk-run-island-hopper/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">share a new island hopper opportunity potentially launching later this year</a>. Fortunately for <a href="http://badice.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stephan</a>, no isolated military base islands are involved in this one.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Also in this episode:<br> <br> <br> <br> * <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://aa.com" target="_blank">American Airlines</a> raised bag fees this week for one segment of its market, which is stupid in many ways* <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://aircanada.com" target="_blank">Air Canada</a> <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://aircanada.mediaroom.com/2020-04-21-Air-Canada-to-Temporarily-Suspend-Transborder-U-S-Flights" target="_blank">suspends transborder flights for a month</a>* <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.evakitty.com/en/news/news.html" target="_blank">Hello Kitty flights from EVA are suspended</a> (but expected to return eventually)* Will we see <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://paxex.aero/2020/04/aviointeriors-janus-economy-class-yin-yang/" target="_blank">yin/yang seating on board in economy class</a>? One seat manufacturer is proposing it as an option for airlines to consider.* <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.Delta.com" target="_blank">Delta Air Lines</a> is <a href="https://theaircurrent.com/industry-strategy/airbus-and-boeing-hustle-to-keep-airplanes-flowing-to-a-collapsed-market/">rumored to be considering a deal that would see it return leased 717s</a> to <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.boeing.com/commercial/" target="_blank">Boeing</a> in exchange for buying new 737 MAX frames<br> <br> <br> <br> We also take a reader question in this episode. Eoin will (theoretically) be visiting New York City later this year from Ireland and wants to make a domestic trip as part of the adventure. He's looking for quality transcon premium products and some AvGeek fun. We've got a few idea about how he can head to Seattle for planes and more, including a couple extra segments to increase the coolness factor.<br> <br> <br> <br> Finally, <a href="https://paxex.aero/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seth</a> is going to be in a couple online things over the coming week, including <a href="https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/avtalk-podcast/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">this week's AvTalk podcast from FlightRadar24</a> and the <a href="https://flightplan.wavecast.io/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FlightPlan webinar series</a> from <a href="https://www.inmarsat.com/aviation/commercial-aviation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Inmarsat</a> and APEX. Should be some good stuff in there.<br> <br> <br> <br> Enjoy the show!<br>
