Alaska and Virgin America completed a big step in the integration last week, as the two airlines are now on a single operating certificate, meaning that as far as the FAA is concerned, the two airlines are now one.
Today Alaska sent out an email sharing the progress of their integration. Almost everything in the email is stuff we already knew, and largely stuff we’ve known since last March, when the airline provided a roadmap for their future.
However, there’s one update I find especially interesting. We’ve known that Alaska is working on building a lounge at JFK, though we haven’t known exactly when it will open. Now we do. The new Alaska Lounge at New York JFK’s Terminal 7 will be opening in April 2018, so it’s only a few months from opening.
Alaska and Virgin America made the move to JFK’s Terminal 7 in October 2017, as previously the two airlines flew out of different terminals (Alaska operated out of Terminal 8, while Virgin America operated out of Terminal 4). Now all Alaska and Virgin America flights depart from the same terminal, though the bad news is that Terminal 7 is one of the worst at JFK.
The good news at least is that Alaska will soon be opening their lounge, which will be in the location of the former United Club (they stopped flying to JFK in October 2015), right next to the British Airways Lounge.
The other potential good news is that I suspect the Alaska Lounge JFK will be part of Priority Pass, which would make it the first Priority Pass lounge in the terminal. Ultimately I don’t have any inside information indicating that will be the case, though Alaska’s other lounges belong to Priority Pass, so I see no reason this one wouldn’t. That would be great not only for Alaska passengers, but also for passengers traveling on British Airways, Iberia, LOT, Ukraine, etc., who don’t have lounge access.
Alaska is also unique as far as US airlines go, in that they give lounge access to all paid first class passengers, regardless of whether they paid cash or redeemed miles (however, those who upgraded don’t get lounge access).
For years China has had an annoying policy when it comes to the use of personal electronics inflight. Specifically, you're not allowed to use your smartphones or tablets on Chinese airlines, even if they're in airplane mode, and even during the flight.…

Alaska Airlines has long been special as far as US airlines go. They've been viewed as Seattle's "hometown airline," and while other airlines have been devaluing their frequent flyer programs, cutting back on their inflight product, and introducing basic…

While it might sound like something funny that's right out of a movie, rats on a plane can be a serious problem. Not only do they pose a sanitation and comfort issue, but the much bigger issue is that they can eat through the electrical wiring on planes,…

In early 2017, American Airlines bought a $200 million stake in Guangzhou-based China Southern Airlines. On some level this was surprising, given that prior to this the two airlines didn't cooperate in any way. They had no codeshare agreements, and American…
