That’s probably for the best

Ah, was referring as noted to the 787-10

The worst.

The 787-10 currently flies nonstop, per Cirium:

LAX/ORD-HND on United
SEA/PDX-LHR on BA
SEA-AMS on KLM

These routes are comparable to, or longer, than what Alaska says it can fly the 787-10 on.

Charging for transit while allowing free airport access for cars leads to more emissions, more traffic, and a more chaotic airport. We could fix a lot of this by shifting charges from transit to cars at the Port Authority's airports, but the authority as currently constituted will never consider it.
Fees to drive to the airport curb are now commonplace in the UK.

US airports like JFK and LAX should seriously consider these, and the former should use the proceeds to make the JFK AirTrain free.

Why? It is standard practice in many other countries, from Australia to the UK and Benin.

Right?!

Build it and housing prices will, if not necessarily become "affordable," stabilize and stop the multi-decade increases that have priced so many out of the market.

Driving is far, far more stressful than flying will ever be.
