Agreed. Its an abysmal core product for trans-atlantic service.

Our product has been very neglected lately, The Points Guy just did a detailed writeup about it. He wasnt alone in noticing.

My longest last winter was 7:35 in the air. .79 with the headwind, we’re generally at .78 99 percent of the time otherwise. 8 hours was mildly hyperbolic but an accurate summation of how long people are typically stuck on the jet….

my last domestic mint flight didn’t have enough food for all the pax. The last 2 rows were offered yogurt for breakfast and that’s all and they were paying pax. Very surprised.

I had a block of 9:05 and a flight time of 8:20 as my longest back. Got routed down over Santa Maria trying to avoid 175kts on the nose. It was in one of the NEO aircraft and still blocked in with over 8000 lbs of fuel. Only broke 8 hrs in the air that one time all winter.
