Just realized I never properly re-introduced myself. Hi, I’m Jason, aka @airlineflyer. I post about airplanes, airports, trains, public transit and travel. I co-host @flightradar24.com’s AvTalk podcast with @petchmo.bsky.social.

Looking forward to reconnecting with familiar names meeting new ones.

Undisclosed Airlines once again expanding its Airbus fleet, ordering 8 A350-900 on September 16.

A private customer also ordered 2 A350-900 on September 8.

Jason Rabinowitz @airlineflyer.net · Sep 5

Undisclosed Airlines placed an order for 7 A350-1000 on August 22nd, bringing its total for the year to 70 aircraft.

Undisclosed airlines has transferred its recent order of 10 A330-900neo to Saudia Group’s flyadeal, as it is apparently starting up long-haul service.

Ahhhhh, the head scratches at the end. I need closure on this, @en.afp.com! What happened to the big cat?

VIDEO: 🇧🇷 Jaguar with apparent gunshot wounds saved from Brazilian river

Military police and animal protection agents rescued the animal from the Rio Negro, a tributary of the Amazon, after creating a makeshift float for it to hold onto to keep its head above water

I think any of the interesting routes will be out of NRT, not GUM.

Jason Rabinowitz @airlineflyer.net · 55m

United is going to announce new international destinations tomorrow and I'm chatting with @byerussell.com on the possibilities. It basically boils down to how far can United fly a MAX 8 out of NRT and isn't also served by ANA.

My best guess is additional South Korea cities, Jeju and/or Busan.

Ned Russell:
Think of the most off the beaten path route you can
Then like find it’s smaller, more obscure sibling
And that’s it

Jason Rabinowitz:
Really hard to beat Mongolia, ned lol

The selfishness of drivers is just insane

Jason Rabinowitz @airlineflyer.net · 18h

Fucking annoying, those guys

Jason Rabinowitz @airlineflyer.net · 18h

The first agent (his first day) brought me over to another guy at the same intersection who understood the issue and said they’d take care of it. But I watched as nothing happened. It’s, ugh…

Jason Rabinowitz @airlineflyer.net · 18h

Drivers are generally doing their best to stay out of the bus lanes, and when they do the busses go 🏎️

NYPD enforcement of illegal parking along Flatbush is critical here and just isn’t happening.

Jason Rabinowitz @airlineflyer.net · 18h

I went out to Flatbush to see the new bus lanes and uhmmm it’s a bit of a mess for now. Very little signage and markings with sudden lane shifts.

Illegal parking is a major problem. One vehicle reduces road capacity by 50%. I asked an NYPD traffic agent and he’s like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it’s my first day lol

Air traffic controllers ended the last government shutdown and they're sure as shit leading that charge again in 2025.

There are staffing triggers today (so far!) from Dallas to the oceanic routes across the Atlantic. Flying anywhere is going to get increasingly bad.

A BNA GROUND DELAY PROGRAM WAS ISSUED DUE TO A STAFFING TRIGGER.
ZNY HAS ADDED ADDITIONAL AIRWAYS TO THEIR OCEANIC ROUTE CLOSURES.
TEB WAS ADDED TO THE PLAN FOR A POSSIBLE INITIATIVE DUE TO THE PHL
AREA C STAFFING TRIGGER.

Amazing that @wired.com acknowledged that its approach is overkill and users don’t want to see it, but then posted another dozen and counting times.

Jason Rabinowitz @airlineflyer.net · 23h

None

Just go to change your flight and you can simply pay the fare difference to move between cabins on the same flight

You can pay at least three different amounts to upgrade on United.

$90 through the seat map
20k miles + $75 through the upgrade module (lol)
$45 fare difference

There's a big difference between posting a roundup story and a great deal here and there and what you've done here today. So far you have posted more than a dozen times about Amazon "deals." This clearly wasn't about your subscribers spending wisely but about maximizing referral link clicks.

Holy shit look at the @wired.com website

This now makes 15 posts about Amazon deals. Literally nobody subscribes to @wired.com for this.

I hate to cancel my subscription after the amazing journalism they have done recently but wtf is this
